Team PaladinID

- PaladinID’s Fishing Team
Back in July, I was at a family reunion for a week when several family members decided to enter a fishing tournament in Oswego, NY. They chartered the Billy V out of Fair Haven, NY. Pictured from left to right are Brendan and Geren Woodbridge from Allentown PA and Cooper and Gary Laudermilk from Charolette, NC. They had a terrible day weather wise, it was rainy and cold, but the fish were biting. They reeled in 7 salmon with a total weight over 65 pounds. It was a fun and exciting time for all. I asked Gary if he would do it again. He said, “In a heartbeat”. This was the second time this group has chartered a fishing boat on Lake Ontario. They were kind enough to wear the PaladinID colors while fishing. Thanks guys, you look great!
Barcode Printing 101
Posted by Dana Ritchie on August 19th, 2008
I came across a white paper called Barcode Printing 101 from one of our vendors Datamax Corporation that talked about barcode printing. It was one of the best reads I have seen in a long time. It talks about the different barcode symbologies and where they are used along with the media, labels and ribbons that are used to print barcodes. I have posted it in our resource section for all to read. Please feel free to read this and pass it along. Send us an email or call with any questions. We are always here to help solve a barcode related problem.
Price Look-Up Application on Short Notice
Posted by admin on August 18th, 2008
    Recently, PaladinID was contacted by a retail client with a serious and time sensitive business problem. They are opening their first stores in MA and have discovered that our busy elected officials on Beacon Hill have thrown them an unanticipated curve ball. It is a law in this Commonwealth that all items in a store be individually price labeled. For those items where that is not practical, the store must provide one price look-up scanner (you have seen these at WalMart) for every 5000 feet of floor space.  Basically, the scanner reads the bar code on the item and performs a search of the store’s point-of-sale data base and then displays the price. In this instance, the scanner is connected to the store’s server via an Ethernet connection.
    Unfortunately, our client was made aware of this requirement about three weeks before the first store was scheduled to open.  They were steered to PaladinID by our good friends at Honeywell Imaging and Mobility.  Honeywell offers a product specifically designed for this application called the Image Kiosk 8560. The 8560 is a Windows based terminal with an integrated bar code scanner the uses Adaptus Imaging Technology for reading 1D and 2D bar codes.Â
   PaladinID then reached out to our partner PSS Products for the software link between the 8560 and the client’s POS application Island Pacific’s OnePointe. PSS Products has a wealth of experience in dealing with Island Pacific software but also in implementing price look-up applications for other retail clients.Â
   With the timely help of our distributor partner Scansource, PaladinID was able to supply the 8560 to PSS Products who were able to load and test the software and deliver the finished product to our client in about a week! If you are in the retail space and have a similar problem give us a call – because that’s what PaladinID does - solve problems!
Mobile Printers Can Now Print Permanent Labels!
Posted by Dana Ritchie on August 14th, 2008
Datamax Corporation just released a new product called D-Transfer that allows mobile portable printers to use thermal transfer printing for a much more permanent label than what is currently available using direct thermal labels. All mobile printers use direct thermal label stock which have a short shelf and use life. The companies the use labels and barcodes have asked for a more permanent solution and Datamax has answered the call. This new product can be used in all mobile printers. We have stock sizes for the O’Neil printer line and custom sizes for the Zebra, Datamax and Sato lines. I am just putting together a white paper that goes into more detail. If you are looking for a permanent solution to your mobile printing needs, here is your answer.  Conact us for more information.
