OMR Codes
Printing Quality
•
Marks should be printed in black.
•
Marks on the same sheet must have equal intensity.
•
Marks must be printed on the same position on every sheet.
•
For matrix printers near letter quality (NLQ) printed characters are preferred to obtain
maximum blackness (double strike).
•
Be aware of background ‘noise’. Color changes on the form, background design, a
logo or copy on the opposite side of the sheet that will bleed through can be read by
the reading head causing disturbances of the OMR function.
•
The ribbon or toner quality must be checked before printing.
