Optical Mark Recognition (OMR)
An OMR mark is normally a dark solid line on a
sheet of light colored paper that is perpendicular
to the direction of paper travel. This line must be
thick and dense to trigger the OMR scanner.
The OMR scanner works with the OMR system
software to check for one or more different OMR
marks on a document as it is fed through the
system. Tracking of these marks enhances mail
piece integrity by assuring the documents that
belong together (a set) stay together throughout
the inserting process.
NOTE: Depending on the model, your inserter
may be equipped with OMR scanning.
NOTE: For instructions on programing an OMR job, refer to the
Programing a Job section of this manual.
Accuracy
OMR on this system uses extensive error checking. This means insertion
accuracy is very high: the probability of the wrong set of sheets being
inserted into an envelope is low.
OMR and Feeders on the Inserter
OMR-equipped models have scanning heads on each sheet feeder.
The sheet feeder holds sheets with OMR marks and they feed multiple
sheets per envelope and can handle C-folds and double folds.
You can set up only the insert feeder to be under the selective control
of the OMR sheets. As a result, you can use OMR to fill an envelope
with a variable number of sheets from one feeder, with or without a
supplementary sheet and an insert.
A folded insert is nested with the first sheet in the envelope. Because OMR
applications allows each envelope to contain tailored contents, the last
sheet in the envelope includes address information for use with windowed
envelopes. This ensures that each set of sheets is addressed to the
correct recipient.
