Available OMR Marks
This section gives brief descriptions of the OMR marks that can or must
be allocated to an OMR Code.
NOTE: Some marks within this section are available as added features
that expand OMR capability. OMR features will vary depending on the
options you purchased.
Benchmark
This is a mandatory mark. It must be the first mark of the code and will
appear on every page within the set.
Safety
This is a mandatory mark that improves the integrity of your mail piece. It
is automatically placed immediately after the benchmark.
End-of-Collation (EOC)
This mark indicates that this sheet is the
last sheet fed within the collation/
set (the address sheet).
Your system operates on the absence of this mark, that is, the action will
take place if the mark is not read by the scanner. It is therefore indicated
on the OMR code as Not EOC .
Beginning-of-Collation (BOC)
This mark indicates this sheet is the first sheet fed within the collation/set .
Your system operates on the absence of this mark, that is, the action will
take place if the mark is
not
read by the scanner. It is therefore indicated
on the OMR code as
Not BOC
.
Parity
This mark is a security feature that makes the number of marks total an
even number when printed. If any one of the marks in the code is missed
during scanning, the inserter stops so the operator can correct the error.
Re-timing Mark
This mark is mandatory in each group of OMR marks making up the code
(see later in this section for an explanation of OMR mark grouping).
It allows the inserter to recalibrate for accurate scanning. Re-timing marks
count in the parity calculation.
