There are two kinds of jams: static jams detected when the device is at rest, and operational jams detected while the device is running.
  • Page 118 OMR glossary Timing control type If paper has pre-printed timing marks, the scanning area (reading area) of targeted mark frames will be determined by such timing marks. Timing control type is a method to determine the reading zone based on the timing mark width.

Dropout color Refers to colors pre-printed or written on documents that people can see but that don’t appear when read with an image scanner or other devices.
  • Page 120 OMR glossary Colors that can be used as dropout colors differ depending on the model, but with some models, even regular ballpoint pen ink drops out and cannot be used. In such cases, you need special OCR ballpoint pens that are rarely available today. See table below for relationships between wavelengths and colors.

Mark to mark type is a method to read zones between two timing marks. Therefore, the number of timing marks in mark to mark type forms is always an even number.
