S CLASS™ cutter User’s Manual
Contour Cutting 3-16
3.4.3 OPOS Barcode
The S class cutters can also read a barcode. Certain RIP’s have the ability to print a barcode
together with the OPOS markers. This barcode can then be used to identify the job and
retrieve the needed cut data automatically from the computer.
The complete procedure is normally started from the computer. The cutting software will
usually have a button or a command called ‘scan a bar code’. First make sure that the media
is loaded.
