Flattermarken

Flattermarken are identification marks used in book production that facilitate the proper arrangement of bound sections by a book binder.

Data and Options

• The data field holds a sequence of digits, each a group of nine modules:
  • 1-9: a single mark at that module of the group
  • 0: the group is left blank
• The inkspread option can be used to adjust the width of the bars.
• If greater fidelity is required then the raw encoder should be used instead.

Examples
