Comment :  65 I 6.8.6.8 48
"Paper record shall be created
such that its contests are
machine-readable." The
discussion continues "this can
be done by using specific OCR
fonts."

Recommend rewording this
requirement to "the paper
record shall be created such
that all information on the
paper record can be gathered
by automated and electronic
means."

This requirement is in conflict
with earlier requirements to
match the DRE font with the
paper record font. Comment:
Also, does having a machine
readable barcode meet this
requirement? Or, are they
talking about the paper record
text itself?
