What Should You Keep In Mind When Adding More Marks For
Higher Integrity?
More space and programming is required to print additional marks on a docu-
ment, so you need to weigh the trade-off between the integrity desired and the
programming time/space you have for your document/job.
It also follows that, as more marks are used in an application, the longer the
mark region becomes, and therefore, the more susceptible the application be-
comes to skewing in the feeder. The figure below is an exaggerated example
of the effect of skew on scanned information. Under normal circumstances,
this is not a problem, but if a large number of marks is used at the area locat-
ed near the trailing edge of the paper in a situation where stapled groups are
being fed, the skew issue could become a significant factor.
NOTE: Pitney Bowes service personnel should carefully evaluate such appli-
cations to ensure the inserting system can handle them reliably.
