  • Currently, the only readers capable of reading Vericode are the DataMan 152 and DataMan 262 series; all other models do not support this functionality.
  • Cognex only provides the hardware unit itself. If a customer wishes to read this code, they must purchase a license directly from Veritec Corporation.
  • Without a valid license, the reader can only perform emulated reading of Vericode, but partial content of the code will be lost.
  • Below are the steps for emulated reading of Vericode:
  1. Download the dedicated firmware version: 5.7.0_cr11_Sr1. The link is provided below.

  4. Enter a license or use demo mode. Demo mode is emulation mode: it allows code reading but will hide part of the code content. After entering a valid license, the reader can be directly used in production.
