PAR - Parity
This mark is a
securty feature
, that when printed always makes
the number of marks total an odd or even number. If any one of the
marks within the code is missed during scanning, the machine will
stop functioning, allowing the error to be rectified. No more than 1
Parity mark can be used within the code.
Options available:
• Odd or Even
WAS - Wrap Around Sequence
This is a numbering system which uses a sequental bnary codng . If
a page becomes missing or the set becomes out of sequential order,
the system will stop processing and declare an error message. Up to
6 Wrap Around Sequence marks can be within the code.
Options available:
• Increment (Ascending) or Decrement (Descending)
• Include or Omit Zero (0) as a value within the sequence
• Continuous Sequence or Page 1 Reset
• Least or Most Significant Mark nearest to Bench Mark
(code orientation) - refer to page 5-7 for more information
• Number of Wrap Around Sequence Marks
MC - Match Code (Matching)
These marks are used for mailing integrity, they also use binary
coding, but in this case the code stays the same on each marked
sheet/insert within the Mail Piece. When a new Mail Piece is started,
the code count changes, (unless Random is selected, where 2 or
more consecutive sets can use the same binary value). This ensures
the integrity of the contents of the Mail Piece. A maximum of 18
Match Set Marks may be selected.
Options available:
• Automatic. Increment, Decrement, Random or Partial
Random.
• Include or Omit Zero (0).
• Least or Most Significant Mark nearest to the Benchmark
(code orientation) -- refer to page 5-7 for more information.
• Number of Match Code Marks.
