Introduction

The folding and inserting system can be equipped with reading. This allows the system to
read special codes that have been printed on the documents. These codes contain
information about the processing of the sheets. Three types of codes are available:

• 1-track OMR: Optical Mark Recognition

• BCR: BarCode Reading

• Flex 1-9

Depending on the settings, the code tells the system if:

• The document set is complete
• Enclosures must be added to the set
• The system must stop
• The set is complete (no pages are missing)

The sheets with the printed code are placed in a feeder. Depending on the programmed

code, the other feeders can be used as selective feeders to add enclosures.

In case of a Z-fold, the address has to be printed on the last page of the set (see

Document

orientation

on page 72 for the code position). With the other fold types, the first sheet of a

set always contains the address. A full length code is printed on every sheet of a set. The

code must appear at the same location on every page regardless of the actual code length.
The code on the last sheet of the set contains the insert instruction (unless reverse reading

is used, see

Reverse reading

on page 71). The other sheets carry the accumulate

instruction. If a parity check is used with OMR, this is checked on each sheet. If the “page

n of m” code is used with BCR, the set will be inserted when n equals m.
