User Manual

The black marks are positioned differently on the outside fold of each signature in bookbinding
to aid in collating.
• [Bar code]
You can create an automated workflow for finishers by using a barcode and a registration mark
for finisher. For example, the automated workflow can be used for the Duplo DC-646. See topic
"Automated workflow by using barcodes for finishers, for example, the Duplo DC-646" in the
technical service manual.
The barcode and readable text are always black when you define a barcode in the [Production]
workspace.
Four settings ensure the readability of the barcode: checksum for [1D bar code] or error
correction for [2D bar code], minimum size of the barcode, quiet zone and resolution.
In barcode technology, a quiet zone is the blank margin on either side of a barcode that's used
to tell the barcode reader where a barcode's symbology starts and stops. The purpose of a
quiet zone is to prevent the reader from picking up information that does not pertain to the
barcode that is being scanned. The blank margin will not send a scanning signal, hence the
name "quiet".
• [1D bar code]
A 1D barcode should have a quiet zone of at least 6 mm on each horizontal side and at least
1.6 mm on each vertical side.
• [2D bar code]
A 2D barcode should have a quiet zone of at least 2 mm on each side.
You have to configure the quiet zone and the resolution in the configuration file. Browse to the
config file and open it using a text editor, for example, Notepad:
C:\ProgramData\Oce\PRISMAcore\Configuration
\PRISMAcore.Plugin.PBE.AppSettings.config
• "BarcodeResolution" value="600"
The default value for the resolution is 600. Possible values: 300 or 600. An unsupported
value is ignored and 600 is used instead.
• "BarcodeWhiteBorderSize" value="3"
The horizontal and vertical margins form the non-printable area, or quiet zone, around the
barcode. The default value is 3 mm. The horizontal and vertical margins both use the value
of "BarcodeWhiteBorderSize".
When the barcode is rotated, the minimum values for the quiet zone are rotated accordingly.
1. [Text]
The typed text and any variables are encoded as a barcode. The barcode type determines
whether you can use digits, text, variables, or a combination of these in the text. You can
add the sheet number, the total number of sheets, and the job name to the text of the
barcode. Finishers can use this information to check if the order of sheets is correct and to
check if the job contains all sheets.
