OMR Marks Available

This section gives brief descriptions of the OMR Marks that can be allocated to an OMR Code and lists the options available for use with each mark. The section following, OMR Mark Options on page 5-6 then gives greater detail of each option.

NOTE: Some marks within this section are available as added features which expand OMR capability. Contact your machine supplier for details. OMR features available will vary depending on the country you are in.

BM - Benchmark

This is a mandatory mark within the Multi-Mark option, it must be either the first or last mark of the code and will appear on every page within the first set.

This mark may only be selected once within the code.

SAF - Safety

This mark improves the integrity of your Mail Piece. It can be placed anywhere within the code but benefits from being at the opposite end of the code to the Benchmark.

When the Safety mark is placed in this position with the option Always Present, and No other marks other than the OMR code in the margin is chosen when creating the job, the machine will automatically work out the length of the code. This makes creating jobs using this code easier. Otherwise, the machine will ask for a code length when creating a job.

This mark may appear more than once within the code. Options available:

Always Present or Never Present

BOC - Beginning of Collation

This mark indicates that it is the first sheet fed within a set. This mark may only be selected once within the code.

Options available:

Present or Absent
