OMR barcode printing

Barcodes on OMR sheets are usually used for confidentiality reasons. When the identity of the student or candidate has to be kept hidden from the examiner or evaluator, it is done by printing barcodes on the OMR answer sheets. You do not need any special equipment to print the barcodes on the OMR sheets. This can be done with the help of the OMR software.

The OMR sheet printing software has the ability to generate variable data automatically. The desired number series for the barcode can be provided in an Excel sheet, which are then printed on the OMR sheets. Here is a list of instructions that you have to follow while printing the barcode on the OMR sheets.

  • The barcode as well as the text for optical character recognition (OCR) should always be printed in black.
  • The OMR software can only read the barcodes that have been printed using the variable data printing process.
  • The barcodes can be placed anywhere on the sheet. It is best to print the barcode twice on the sheet. If the software is not able to read the first barcode it will read the second one automatically, without causing any delay to the OMR reading process.
  • Always maintain the optimal size while printing barcodes. Barcodes that are too big or too small will not be read by the OMR software.
  • The Addmen OMR software can read the barcode printed in any direction. So you do not have to worry if you have printed the barcode upside down.

OMR barcode printing is no longer a difficult task. You can do this easily with the OMR software. You can contact the Addmen office to know more about barcode printing and advice on the use of fonts.
