Digimarc

Note:  Digimarc is applicable to NCR 79e models and NCR 79 color models with embedded software version R2.0.2 (497–0514585) or higher.

Digimarc is a digital watermarking technology that allows users to embed digital information into product packaging by manipulating the package coloration. These information or watermarks are not visible to the human eye but can be recognized by a bar code scanner through the color sensors and the embedded decoder in the scanner's embedded software.

With Digimarc, items are easily and quickly scanned without having to locate the bar code on the product packaging, therefore resulting in faster transactions. Digimarc codes are then sent to the POS as conventional 1D UPC/EAN or Databar bar codes, depending on the Digimarc data content.
