Comment:
"Paper record shall be created
such that its contests are
machine-readable." The
discussion continues "this can
be done by using specific OCR
fonts."
Recommended change:
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."
Rationale:
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?
