FoD-OMR from Command Line
|
 |
|
Finished Form Definitions may be printed under
the direction of other
programs or under the control of Command Line procedures (.bat
files). Used in this way, the form design is never seen and
the form appears on the laser printer as a function of running a larger
job. System designers may use these techniques to populate OMR forms
with data such as names, dates, runs, students and other
information. The information is normally displayed as text as
well as either OMR Preslugging or as barcodes, both of which are
automatically read by the OMR.
