OMR marks are horizontal or vertical black solid lines found on printed mailing sheets. The mail processing machines check for these lines on every page fed in the system. The tracking of these marks triggers mechanical processes like the folding of all pages that should be inserted together in an envelope.
BarDIMM can generate OMR marks used by insertion/folding/Sealing systems found in mailrooms. Using BarDIMM makes it easy to put those marks in ERP, Linux or any PCL5 document where you can control the spool commands.
There is no standard for OMR marks; the specifications vary per machine and per OMR scanning software (please refer to your mailroom system brochures for your own OMR marks requirements).
BarDIMM can be configured to fit any specification: width, spacing and length marks can be defined using the b, s and v parameters.
Usage
Only 3 characters can be used in data for OMR: ‘0’, ‘1’ and ‘2’:
1: Regular mark (thickness defined by the 1st parameter for b)
2: Heavy mark (thickness defined by the 2nd parameter for b)
0: Mark skipped
Marks are defined in the data from top to bottom.
