Page Type
A collection of criteria that
a piece must meet to be classified as
a certain type of document. i.e.,
length, height, barcode, mark detect,
MICR, etc.
Each job includes one or more page
types. Once you have defined a
page type, you can set up a job to
process pieces that match that page
type profile in a consistent way. For
example, the page type “Check”
contains parameters that match the
profile of a personal check. When
you run a personal check, the
AS7200 recognizes it as a “Check”
page type, and processes the
personal check as it does all other
“Check” page types. The AS7200
comes with predefined default page
types, which you can use as
templates for new page types
specific to the customer’s needs.
