Scanning Overview
The HiCap Sheet Feeder (HCSF) on the tower of the FPi 5100 - 8100 inserter can scan both OMR, 1D (code 3 of 9, interleaved, 2 of 5) and 2D data matrix barcodes. A 1D scanner or a 2D camera can be present on either side of the HCSF. The tower supports 1D ladder scanning on either side or a 2D camera only on the left side.
1D Scanning Overview (includes OMR)
The system offers two types of scanning; both types are optional features: · Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) - uses a dark solid line on a sheet of
light colored paper. OMR presents in a "ladder" orientation. · Barcode Recognition (BCR) - a series of vertical bars and spaces
presented in "ladder" or "picket" orientation. Barcodes that can be used with your system are 1D (code 3 of 9, interleaved 2 of 5) and 2D data matrix.

2D Data Matrix Scanning Overview
2D data matrix barcodes provide a compact barcode option to keep the physical size of the barcode to a minimum. This makes it easier to fit a barcode into a document. 2D data matrix barcodes can store a large amount of data in a smaller sized barcode. They can store more data than standard linear barcodes (such as code 3 of 9). The data capacity of a 2D data matrix barcode is determined by two factors: · The dimension of the barcode measured by the number of modules. A
module is either a black or white square.
Module
· The data encoding method used when the barcode is generated. The three most common data encoding types are: - Numeric (just numbers, highest data density) - Alphanumeric (numbers and letters) - Binary (just numbers 0 and 1)
Customers may encode their barcodes in any of these three formats. For inserters, the number of characters encoded in the barcode is critical, not the encoding type. NOTE: Customers should supply samples of their raw barcode data so we can determine if we can support their application.

Adjusting the Scan Heads
Once the system administrator or system supplier sets up the scan configuration, the key to maximizing barcode or OMR performance lies in proper adjustment/positioning of the scan heads to be able to read the mark. The scan heads are located in the feeder tower or the HCSF (if present on your system.) There are two scan heads in either location. This allows the system to read the mark regardless of the mark's location on the sheet. Additionally, more than one sheet within a set can be marked. If multiple sheets are using the same scan head, the marks on each sheet must be oriented so they pass over the scan head in the same position. If both scan heads are used, they must be offset by at least 0.787" (20 mm) to avoid errors.
IMPORTANT: The side guides must be set properly in order for the scan heads to read the marks correctly. Additionally, material must be jogged back into place and loaded as an even stack to ensure the scan head and marks align properly. Refer to Load Material into the Trays for more information.
Adjusting Scan Heads for Ladder or 2D Orientation Marks
1. Fold one of the sheets to be scanned in half vertically (side with mark facing up.)
2. Draw two arrows, one at the top of the mark, and one at the bottom of the mark, pointing towards the top of the sheet.
Vertical fold

3. Fold the sheet horizontally, so the barcode appears on either side of the fold line.
Horizontal fold

4. Open the main transport deck cover. Use the ruler to measure the distance from the center of the sheet (lined up at 0 on the ruler) to the center of the marks.
5. Refer to the loading instructions to determine: · Scan head location for this sheet (left or right) · If the sheet will be loaded top or bottom first
6. Open the tower cover: · If the scanner is in the Feeder Tower (Feeders A, B, C, D) open the feeder tower cover · If the scanner is in the HCSF (High Capacity Sheet Feeder J, K, L, M), open the HCSF tower cover.
TIPS: · Remove the left feeder trays from the feeder tower to allow the
HCSF tower cover to open freely. · If you have two HCSFs on your system, the first HCSF Tower will
prevent the second tower (farthest) from opening fully. For best results, be sure you have proper lighting when adjusting the scan head in the second tower.
7. Determine the direction the scan head needs to be moved (to the left or right of 0 on the ruler): · Make sure the center of the sheet (the vertical fold) is lined up with the center of the inserter (at 0 on the ruler.) · If the sheet is loaded top first, make sure the arrows point DOWN. · If the sheet is loaded bottom first, make sure the arrows point UP.

Additional Information
· Paper weight range for OMR is 18 lb. (70 gsm) to 32 lb. (120 gsm). · Feeder linking will only work correctly if the operator has started with the
correct sheet (i.e. linking can only be done reliably on a collation break). The feed order and print order determines if feeder linking is possible. Some sort of collation integrity (WAS or MC) ensures right pieces are in the right collations. · Selective feed of additional sheets is always available up to the maximum limits of either folder (8 sheets of 80 gsm paper or equivalent) or 25 sheets into a flat envelope.
