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;
in response to receiving a user input providing an overwrite quiet zone requirement indication and determining that the at least one quiet zone area does not satisfy at least one quiet zone requirement:
causing, by the processor of the printing apparatus, at least one of adjusting the at least one quiet zone requirement to at least one reduced quiet zone requirement or adding at least one additional quiet zone area to the at least one quiet zone area, and
generating, by the processor of the printing apparatus, at least one quiet zone grade associated with the at least one quiet zone area based at least in part on at least one of the at least one reduced quiet zone requirement or the at least one additional quiet zone area; 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.
