Equipment (100) for processing items intended for commercial and non-commercial distribution, said equipment comprising a conveyor belt (1) for transporting and/or moving said items, means (30) for applying individually a label onto each of said items, said equipment (100) being configured so that each label is generated by means (34) for generating individual labels based on the identification data of the associated or corresponding item.

According to an embodiment, a printer performs printing on a printable medium to be attached to a product. The printer includes: a memory; a display; and a controller. The controller detects an attribution item that differs between generated print data and print data that is recorded in the memory in association with input identification information. The controller displays print image of the printable medium on the display on the basis of the generated print data in such a way that the detected attribution item is highlighted.

A machine vision-based sheet defect labeling method and apparatus, a device and a medium are provided. The method includes: performing a defect inspection on a target sheet conveyed to a preset defect inspection position, specifically, the target sheet continues to be conveyed towards a preset labeling position after passing the preset defect inspection position by being conveyed; generating a defect label of the target sheet when a defect present in the target sheet is determined, specifically, the defect label carries defect information represented by a two-dimensional barcode symbol including discontinuous dots; and labeling the defect of the target sheet at the preset labeling position with the defect label of the target sheet.
