Bar code placement
Before you begin
Bar codes must appear with the bars perpendicular to the leading edge of the document:
Leading edge
(fed into transport first)
Trailing edge
In addition, the following must be true:
∙The bar code must be at least 0.25 in. (6.3 mm) from the leading edge of the document.
∙The bar code must be at least 0.25 in. (6.3 mm) from the trailing edge of the document.
∙There must be at least 0.25 in. (6.3 mm) of blank space preceding the start character and following the stop character.
∙The bar code may not exceed 11 in. (275 mm) in length.
∙The bar code height must be at least 0.40 in. (9.5 mm) or 25% of the bar code length, whichever is greater.
More detailed specifications are provided in Kodak publication, Bar Code Made Easy
Before feeding documents containing bar codes, verify the following:
∙Bar code reading is enabled in the current mode.
∙The bar code confirmation tone is enabled (if desired).
∙A bar code test has been performed and the read rate/accuracy is satisfactory.
Once each of these items has been verified, you may begin feeding documents.
