Minimum code/basic commands
The minimum code is one mark in one line (insert).
However, for reliability it is advised to use at least 2
marks.
The first line is the start mark.
A mark printed on the second line means insert. No
mark on the second line means accumulate.
Note
In some cases, on customer request, the service organization can reverse the reading of
the basic commands. In this case, no mark is interpreted as an insert command, and a
mark has to be printed for the accumulate command.
Code Position and Free Area
The code must be printed minimally 15 mm (0.59 inch) away from top and 30 mm (1.18
inch) from the bottom of the sheet. Default the first mark from the top is set to 100 mm
(3.9 inch). From the left hand and right hand side 7 mm (0.28 inch) must be kept clear.
The code must appear in the same location and have a consistent number of marks on
every page.
Length
A non-printing space of 8,5 mm (0.33”) must be
kept above the first mark and below the last mark.
This means that the minimum code area consists of
6 lines:
- 2 lines to print the (basic) commands
- 4 lines free space
Line distance may be 2,54 mm (0.1”) to 6,35 mm
(0.4”).
Code width, character spacing and pitch
The minimum width of the code area is 7 character spaces from left to right:
- 2 characters space not printed (4,2 mm; 0.17”)
- track mark (3 characters or 6,3 mm; 0.24”)
- 2 character spaces not printed
Pitch 10 or 12 is accepted.
The track mark can be printed using the underline” sign (_), which must have a thickness
of at least 0,2 mm (0.08”).
