Scan Mark Selection

A step-by-step animation of this section is available online by clicking here.

The options available in this section depend on the hardware configuration you select in General Settings (see Select a configuration file and sample document). The Selective Marks tab will only be active if the hardware configuration has any optional scan marks for you to configure. Otherwise, it will be skipped.

For each scan mark, three options are available to determine whether or not it appears on the page when printing:

On: Click on this if you want the mark to always appear on the page.

Off: Click on this if you never want the mark to appear on the page.

Condition: Click here if you want the mark to appear only under certain conditions. When selecting this option the conditions will appear at the bottom of the screen. These conditions behave the same as the Boundary selection conditions. Please refer to Identify the mail piece boundaries for details on creating and combining conditions.

Conditional scan marks are always evaluated on each page of your job. However, depending on what feature they control, they may appear for a single page, a single mail piece, or the whole job. This is set in the configuration file. Refer to your Folder Inserter's documentation for more information on how these scan marks should appear.

The options available as well as their default status and ability to be changed varies between hardware, and the description of each is provided by the manufacturer (consult your hardware documentation to learn which options are available to you).

All the scan marks must be set to either of the options before you can continue to the last section.

Moving the scan marks
In the Preview window, you have the ability to change the location of the scan marks defined in the hardware configuration. The configuration defines not only the size limitations of the scan marks, but also the area where your Folder Inserter can read the scan marks. This area will be shown as a pink highlighted area on your page. To move the scan marks, simply click on them and hold your mouse button, then move them to a new location on the page. You can move the scan marks anywhere on the page, but of course if you move them outside of the highlighted area, your Folder Inserter may not be able to read them. While Folder Inserters generally have a margin of error and may be able to read scan marks that are placed partially outside of the scanning area, we highly recommend keeping the scan marks inside this area to insure that your document will process correctly and with less possible errors.
