ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for applying a label to the bottom of a product, the label having a universal product code thereon. The apparatus includes a first labeling assembly, a first scanning assembly, a second labeling assembly, a second scanning Assembly and means for feeding a product past these assemblies along a feeding path. The first scanning assembly detects whether or not the first labeling assembly has applied a label to the bottom of the product and if none was applied then activates the second labeling assembly to apply a label and if the second scanning assembly determines that no label has yet been applied to the product, that product is diverted from the feeding path. Additionally, a character recognition assembly is provided to determine if the correct label has been applied to the product and to divert a mislabeled product from the feeding path. The method includes feeding the product past a first labeling station, scanning the product to determine if a label has been applied, feeding the product past a second labeling station, scanning the product a second time and diverting the product from the feeding path if the product has no label applied thereto. Additionally, the method includes the step of detecting whether the correct label has been applied to the bottom of the product to divert a mislabeled product.
