edge of the document.
• The bar code must be at least 0.25 in. (6.3 mm) from the trailing
edge of the document.
• There must be at least 0.25 in. (6.3 mm) of blank space preceding
the start character and following the stop character.
• The bar code may not exceed 11 in. (275 mm) in length.
• The bar code height must be at least 0.40 in. (9.5 mm) or 25% of the
bar code length, whichever is greater.

Before you begin Before feeding documents containing bar codes, verify the following:
• Bar code reading is enabled in the current mode.
• The bar code confirmation tone is enabled (if desired).
• A bar code test has been performed and the read rate/accuracy is
satisfactory.
Once each of these items has been verified, you may begin feeding
documents.
