6. OPTICAL MARK RECOGNITION OMR (OPTION)
6.1
General
The folding and inserting system can be equipped with Optical Mark Recognition. This
allows the system to read special codes that have been printed on the documents. These
codes contain information about the processing of the sheets.
The sheets with the printed code are placed in the upper feeder (no. 3). Depending on the
programmed code, the other feeders can be used as selective feeders to add enclosures.
With the first four fold types, the first sheet of a set always contains the address. In case
of a zig-zag fold, the address has to be printed on the last page of the set. A full length
code is printed on every sheet of a set.
The code on the last sheet of the set contains the insert instruction. The other sheets
carry the accumulate instruction. If a parity check is used, this is checked on each sheet.
If the set contains only one sheet, it is the “last” sheet. The code must appear in the same
location on every page regardless of the actual code length.
This option can be enabled by a special license code (refer to “Options” on page 33).
6.2
Adjustments
Reading head position
The horizontal position of the reading head must be adjusted to the same position of the
printed marks on the documents. To adjust the reading head, proceed as follows:
1. Fold a document with reading code on the first
mark.
2. Open the top cover.
3. Hold the document in the middle against the
ruler.
4. Shift the reading head
A
so it is positioned
exactly above the middle of the reading marks.
5. Divide the paper guides
B
along the width of the
document.
6. When the reading head is adjusted it is possible
that paper guides have to be removed and
placed on the other side of the reading head.
