OMR glossary
(5) Colors that can be used as dropout colors differ depending on the model, but
with some models, even regular ballpoint pen ink drops out and cannot be
used. In such cases, you need special OCR ballpoint pens that are rarely
available today. See table below for relationships between wavelengths and
colors.
a) It is important to control the PCS value to print dropout colors. (You need
to choose a printer equipped with devices that can measure PCS values.)
b) If you want to use an abundance of colors, we recommend printing in ink
other than dropout colors as a “black frame sheet.”
No feed
Refers to paper doesn’t get fed during paper feeding operations.
If such an error occurs, the device assesses it as a paper feeding error, and notifies
user of the error.
PCS (printed contrast signal)
Refers to the reflectance ratio (contrast) of printed marks, symbols, and letters as
opposed to reflectance of non-printed areas. The calculation formula is as follows.
PCS =
White reflectance - black reflectance
White reflectance
When reflectance of areas with no printing is 70%, and reflectance of printed marks,
symbols, and letters is 10%, the PCS will be 0.857.
