Defining OMR codes

You can add one or more OMR codes to a document. You specify OMR codes at Job Begin, Document Begin, Process Begin, or Page Begin.

Note:

If you use constant values for the OMR code, add the OMR code at Job begin only, for performance reasons.

Standard strokes

STD OMR codes use standard strokes, i.e. each stroke position in the code has a predefined meaning. See STD strokes.

Bar functions

By defining a generic OMR code or a bar code, you can use bar functions at any stroke position in the OMR code. See Bar functions.

To define an OMR code at Job Begin

This procedure describes how to define an OMR code at Job Begin. To define OMR codes at other levels (Document Begin etc.) you must select the corresponding icon.

1	Open the Runtime Output Connector Settings dialog box (generic layer).

2	Click the Job Begin icon and select the OMR tab.

3	Click . The Define Options dialog box opens.

4	Configure the OMR settings (see OMR settings and click OK.

OMR settings

Setting	Description
Name	The OMR code name. This is only used as an internal reference. Only the first OMR code of two or more OMR codes with identical names is printed. An OMR code defined on both Job begin and Document begin will be printed only on Job begin.
Type	The OMR code type. For STD, STDH, and STDE OMR types, see STD strokes. For all barcode types, you can define the OMR by using bar functions, see Bar functions.
X (mm)	The absolute horizontal position of the OMR code (0 is left).
Y (mm)	The absolute vertical position of the OMR code (0 is top).
Rotation (degrees)	The rotation of the OMR code.
Side	The side of the sheet where the OMR code is placed.
Bar functions	Functions representing bar strokes. See Bar functions.
Low sequence	The sequence start value.
High sequence	The highest value in sequence.
Sequence order	The sequence order. None is Ascending.
Insert mask	By setting this option, inserts can be included in envelopes depending on the OMR type. You can use a maximum of 31 insert trays, so you can enter an integer from 0 to (232-1) since the value is used as a binary mask. For example, 13=1101 means that inserts 1,3 and 4 are used for the documents within the job.
ON value	The value that indicates that a specific stroke is printed, normally 1.
Bar height (mm)	The height of the OMR code in millimeters.
Font size	The font size for the barcode text.

For the OMR type specific attributes, refer to the corresponding barcode specification.
