What is <strong>OMR</strong>?<br />
The top-mounted scanner reads the marks from on top of the<br />
sheet, while the bottom-mounted scanner reads the marks<br />
from underneath the sheet of paper. This configuration allows<br />
you the maximum flexibility for your document folding needs<br />
when processed through the system. Specifically:<br />
• the top-mounted scanner supports C-fold and double fold<br />
documents so the address can be visible in window envelopes<br />
• that bottom-mounted scanner supports Z and half-fold<br />
documents so the address can be visible in window envelopes<br />
How are <strong>OMR</strong> Marks Generated?<br />
There are several ways to print the special <strong>OMR</strong> marks on a<br />
document. <strong>Pitney</strong> <strong>Bowes</strong> offers a PC-based product called PB<br />
FIRST that enables you to add the <strong>OMR</strong> marks to your<br />
documents so they can be read by the DI400 inserter (it also<br />
allows you to setup <strong>OMR</strong> marks for the DI350 and DI800<br />
inserters). What’s nice is that once you’ve setup PB FIRST<br />
correctly to generate the marks, the marks are printed to the<br />
proper specifications – no “experimentation” is necessary.<br />
If you have a computer/IT department in your organization, you<br />
may be able to use them also as a resource to create and print<br />
the <strong>OMR</strong> marks for you, based on the DI400 <strong>OMR</strong> specifications<br />
given in this chapter (see pages 4-25 and 4-26).<br />
Additional information on implementing <strong>OMR</strong> marks can be<br />
found in <strong>Pitney</strong> <strong>Bowes</strong> publication SV40193 and the <strong>OMR</strong><br />
template that are included with your DI400 inserter.<br />
IMPORTANT: Unless you (or your organization) has had<br />
previous experience working with <strong>OMR</strong> marks or PB FIRST,<br />
we recommend that you have a <strong>Pitney</strong> <strong>Bowes</strong> Consultant<br />
setup your <strong>OMR</strong> marks for you (at a cost to be estimated).<br />
<strong>Pitney</strong> <strong>Bowes</strong> does not cover the implementation of <strong>OMR</strong><br />
marks on your documents under the standard support<br />
agreements for the DI400 inserter.<br />
