General Requirements for Printing Codes
If you print documents for reading:
• Make sure the ribbon or toner quality is sufficient.
• Print the code in black on white background.
• Codes on the same sheet must have equal intensity.
• Print the code at the same position on every sheet.
• Be aware of "background noise". The reading function can be disturbed by: color
changes on the form, background design and a logo or copy on the opposite side of
the sheet that will bleed through.
• For matrix printers near letter quality (NLQ) printed characters are preferred to obtain
maximum blackness (double strike).
For more information on how to print a reading code on your
document, contact your service organization.
OCR Code Description
With OCR page n / m (page n of m) you can print human readable characters on your mail
set, which can be read by the system, to insert your mail set. The system can recognize
the characters in the so called “n / m” format.
If the value of n is smaller than the value m the sheet will be accumulated, if the value of
n is the same as the value of m the set will be inserted; m is the total number of pages
and n is the current page.
Some specifications for OCR page n / m:
Times New Roman, Arial, Helvetica, Courier.
Italic text will not be supported, bold not recommen-
ded. Supported fonts / font size
