1. A computer-implemented method for verifying a printed indicium comprising:
receiving, by a processor of a printing apparatus, a captured image of a print media comprising the printed indicium;
extracting, by the processor of the printing apparatus, a quiet zone grade portion from the captured image, wherein the quiet zone grade portion comprises a printed indicium area of the printed indicium and at least one quiet zone area adjacent to the printed indicium area; and
in response to receiving a user input providing an overwrite quiet zone requirement indication and determining that the at least one quiet zone area satisfies at least one quiet zone requirement:
generating, by the processor of the printing apparatus, at least one quiet zone grade associated with the at least one quiet zone area without adjusting the at least one quiet zone requirement; and
outputting, by the processor of the printing apparatus, verification results associated with the printed indicium based at least in part on the at least one quiet zone grade.
