Customer has an existing Barcode (BCR) application running on a
competitive inserter
1. Can I run this application on the DI900/DI950 inserter?
A. It depends. The DI900/DI950 must be at integrity level "Barcode" (>see
"Scanning Levels Overview" on page 4-19).
B. Compare the printed application marks against our DI900/DI950 barcode
specifications (>see "Barcode Print and Placement Specifications" on
page 4-6) to make sure they meet requirements for symbology (barcode 3
of 9 or Interleaved 2 of 5), font type, font size, clear zone, etc.
2. How do I implement this application on the DI900/DI950 inserter?
Program a scan code on the DI900/DI950 that includes the BCR functions
you need. Then assign a scan configuration to a job (>see Chapter 7, In-
serter Setup).
Customer wants to create a new application (no current one exists)
1. What level of scanning integrity is required?
Review the DI900/DI950 integrity level purchased and the scan codes
supported (>see "Scanning Levels Overview" on page 4-19).
2. Will it be OMR or Barcode Symbology?
>See comparison chart on page 2-10 to help them in their decision making.
3. What are the implications of the integrity chosen on the marks used and
on the mailpiece contents (EOC, BOC, Fold Type, etc.)?
>See "DI900/DI950 Scan Codes and Levels" on page 2-15 for help.
4. Who is doing the application programming (customer's IT or Pitney
Bowes)?
Does it make sense for customer to buy and use PB FIRST™ or PB
FIRST™ PD to create the application? Or do they have an IT department
willing to do it themsleves?
Customer has an existing OMR or Barcode (BCR) application that they
would like to convert to a Pitney Bowes-generated application for use on
DI900/DI950
1. What level of scanning integrity is required?
Review the DI900/DI950 integrity level purchased and the scan codes
supported (>see "Scanning Levels Overview" on page 4-19).
2. Will it be OMR or Barcode Symbology?
>See comparison chart on page 2-10 to help them in their decision making.
3. Who is doing the application conversion (customer or Pitney Bowes)?
Does it make sense for customer to buy and use PB FIRST™ or PB
FIRST™ PD to create the application? Or do they want to do it them-
selves?
