function codes
The following function codes can be enabled (or disabled) when using
the Patch Reader accessory.
Enabling patch reading — make sure patch reading is enabled before
feeding documents.
• Patch reading may be enabled or disabled at the mode level using
function code F50.
Enabling the patch reading confirmation tone — the patch code
confirmation tone may be used to signal that a patch has been read.
• If your machine is configured for no confirmation tones, then no
confirmation tones of any kind will be heard in any mode.
• If your machine is configured to allow confirmation tones, then you
can disable (or enable) confirmation tones in any mode as desired.
• If the machine confirmation tones and the patch code confirmation
tone are enabled during installation for the mode being used, you
may enable/disable the patch code confirmation tone during normal
operations by performing function code F53.
NOTE: In addition, a patch/bar code confirmation tone may be used to
signal that both a patch and a bar code have been detected.
This confirmation tone may be enabled or disabled by
performing function code F62.

reading, but do not want to read a patch found on the next document
only, perform function code F54.
