Creating an OMR Job

Before you Start
Before creating a Job Definition using OMR, make sure that the
required OMR code has been set up as described in Create New
OMR Code on page 5-11.
Setting the Type of OMR
During the Create Job process, the machine will ask whether OMR
is being used within the job being programmed. If you reply yes, you
must select the type of OMR code you wish to use: Selective Feed
or Non Selective Feed. If either of these options are greyed out, it
means an OMR code of the required type has not yet been created
and saved into the machine's memory.
When creating a Job Definition using Select Feed marks, additional
questions will be asked to assign feeders to required Select Feed
mark(s).
TIP:
Note that a Selective Feed code can be used in a non-
Selective Feed Job Definition by not allocating any of
the Select Feed (SF) marks to a feeder when creating
the Job Definition.
Setting the OMR Scanning Area
Material is scanned as it feeds through the machine. This means that
the OMR Scanner reads a vertical strip or margin down the page,
defined by the OMR Specifications on pages 5-8 and 5-9.
The machine must now be told if the entire OMR margin (the strip
down the page that is scanned for OMR marks) is clear of any other
printing or punched holes, etc.
If the area IS clear, the machine can normally detect the OMR marks
with no further setup.
If the entire margin is NOT clear, or the machine cannot set itself
automatically, it will ask questions to ascertain where it needs to look
for OMR marks and where it should ignore other printed matter.
Depending on the type of OMR code being used, the machine will
ask you to define either the first mark position and code length
OR the Clear Zone as described on the following pages...
