Disc Serialisation

5. DISC SERIALISATION

Sony DADC Austria offers the possibility to apply an individual code number for every disc of the DVD- ROM production, e.g. for identification purposes. Your preselected code number is printed on the disc with the ink-jet process.

The code number is printed approximately 5 mm from the centre hole of a disc in arc form.

The number will be printed on the read-out side and can only be seen from the read-out side.

(see drawing below)

Please note that this service may result in slightly longer turn around time of your DVD-ROM order.

The most important data of an ink-jet printer are indicated for disc numbering:

●Print image: 6 x 9 dot matrix, 3 mm high, 5 characters per 10 mm.

●The series or code number may consist of a maximum of 28 characters using numbers, letters and symbols. Of the maximum 28 characters 9 characters can be changed automatically (e.g. increasing order of numbers).

●Admissible characters of the series or code number are: letters ”a-z”, ”A-Z”, numbers ”0-9” and symbols (selected characters of the ISO 8859-1 set of characters) in case you want to use symbols please get in touch with our Customer Service.

●It is not possible to underline characters (e.g. 123456).

●A series or code number that changes can only be printed once on the same disc.

●Due to limitation of space on the disc surface the series or code number can be applied in one line only.

●The selected numbers of a series or code number can be increased or reduced by any constant value. Other characters such as letters or symbols remain unchanged.

●A maximum of 9 characters can be increased or reduced.

Example: BCDE123456789

ABC-123456789gh0m 123456789abcdef

00000-123456789-0000000

The numbers 123456789 are the characters that can be changed.

●It is not possible to write in ”bold” or ”italics”.

Special requests (e.g. printing random numbers which can be supplied on a DOS compatible 3.5” floppy disk) should be addressed directly to our Customer Service department.
