speaking, symbologies can be
divided into two major categories:
width-modulated and height-
modulated. Except these used in
postal applications, most
symbologies encode the data into
the different widths of the bars. All
the bars have the same height. The
contrary holds true for height-
modulated symbologies: all bars
have the same width, and the data is
encoded into different length of the
bars.
Transaction
Defined by the customer,
and can be defined in a number of
ways. For example: Check(s) and
stub(s), with or without attachments,
and an envelope (e.g., in a payments
job it can contain singles, multis,
mixed, check only, etc.)
Transaction Boundary
A term used to
indicate the beginning or end of a
single or group of page types in a
transaction. Typically, a specific
page type is used to identify this
boundary either at the beginning or
end of a transaction.
Transaction Sorting
A term used to
indicate jobs in which prior
documents within a transaction
determine the sorting of later
documents.
User
The person running the
machine.
Unstructured Transaction
A
transaction that can contain any
number of pieces and page types.
There is no structured order for
feeding these pieces other than the
“Special Item” page type. This must
always be first or last, according to
how it is set up to signal the next
transaction.
