Since t
10、he first American National Standard for Microfiche of Documents was completed in 1970, the micrographics field has seen major changes and advances in technology. Although this document was revised in 1975, the rapidly expanding use of microfiche and the need to recognize the accepted practices, proc
11、edures, and formats dictated its revision in 1991. A number of major factors in- fluenced the changes that were made to the standard at that time. This standard replaces ANSI/AIIM MS5-1991 which superseded ANSUAIIM MS5-1985 and those portions of ANSUAIIM MS2-1!978 that referenced microfiche. First,
12、some reduction ratios and microfiche formats have gained such wide acceptance as to constitute de facto standards. Over fifteen years ago, 1:48 was a rare reduction ratio for COM, much less for source document microfilming; today, it is common- place. Although this standard recognizes the widespread
13、 use of 1:24 and 1:48 reductions and the associated microfiche for- mats, the continuing use of 1:20 and 1:42 reduction ratios is also acknowledged and retained in Appendix A. The use of other reduction ratios, such as 1:72, must also be noted; should their use become commonplace, their inclusion in
14、 an appendix or the body of the standard may be warranted in the future. Second, the use of microfiche as computer-output microform has resulted in COM becoming one of the major sources of the microfiche medium. The benefits of compatible microfiche, no matter how produced, have also been recognized
15、. As a result, one microfiche standard for both source documents and computer- output microfiche is now appropriate. Third, much progress has been made in the area of quality control in both computer-output and source docu- ment microfilming. While this standard is not intended to duplicate or repea
16、t the quality controls that are speci- fied in other standards or practices, it is important to real- ize that microfiche formats and reduction ratios cannot be considered independent of quality requirements. There- fore, reference to such requirements is provided through- out this standard. Fourth,
17、 the expanding use of microfiche in both pri- vate and public applications has increased the demand for information concerning accepted practices and procedures. Such information ranges from the seemingly simple areas of how to microfilm documents of different sizes within the accepted formats and r
18、eductions to the more complex 1 AIIM MS5 92 LOL234B 0500263 9Tb = areas of dimensional tolerances and the effects of temper- ature and humidity. This standard, therefore, includes such guidance. Finally, it should be noted that this standard does not purport to provide the only possible approach to
19、the use of microfiche. Many other formats of microfiche are ac- ceptable for various purposes. Microfiche with the entire microimaging area containing only one or a couple of microimages of maps or drawings are suitable for special- ized applications. High and ultra-high reduction micro- fiche, prod
20、uced in one or two steps, and duplicates of jacket microforms also are not discussed in this standard. For such applications, standards and technical reports are being developed or wiil be developed in the future. Also, in 1992, the corner cut dimensions in this stan- dard (Section 4.5.2 Corner Cuts
21、) was modified to align with the dimensions in new, related international standards. IS0 9923 Micrographics-Transparent A6 Microfiche Image Arrangements has been approved and publication is pending. IS0 9923 is a revision of IS0 2707-1980, IS0 2708- 1980 and IS0 5126-1980. Dimensions contained in AN
22、SI/AIIM MS5 are in accordance with those in IS0 9923. A revision of IS0 4330-1987, Photography - Determi- nation of the Curl of Photographic Film, is in process. It will replace IS0 4330-1987. This IS0 4330 standard will also most likely replace ANSI IT9.10-1991, For Imaging Media-Determination of t
23、he Curl of Photographic Film. Both IS0 4330 and IT9.10 are referenced standards for this version of MS5. It is also anticipated that ANSI 239-32-1981, Information on Microfiche Headings, will undergo a revi- sion in the near future. Additionally, ANSUAIIM MS1, Recommended Practice for Alphanumeric C
24、omputer-Output Microforms-Operational Practices for Inspection and Qual- ity Control, also referenced in this standard, is being revised by AIIM C4, Committee on Quality and Control. Suggestions for changes or improvements to this stan- dard are welcome and should be sent to the Chairman, AIIM Stand

Other terms are defined in AIIM TR2, Tech- nical Report for Information and Image Management - Glos- sary of Imaging Technology. Column. A vertical series of images on microfiche one single frame in widt
37、h, and the height of that portion of the microfiche grid which is reserved for microimages. COM. (Computer Output Microfilm) Technique for generation of microforms direct from computer output, either on-line or off-line. Distribution Microfiche. The distribution microfiche is not defined in terms of
38、 generations. It is any microfiche intended for actual use, as distinct from camera and inter- mediate microfiche whose function it is to create micro- fiche for distribution. A distribution microfiche is a working copy that is expected to be filed, retrieved, and used. The normal use of a distribut
39、ion microfiche may be for display on a reader, re-enlargment on a printer or reader-printer, or contact printing to produce a duplicate COPY * Frame. A rectangular area on the microfiche bounded by imaginary intersecting grid lines within which a microimage may be recorded. The grid lines shal be pa
40、rt of gauges used for checking microfiche, but they do not actually ap- pear on the microfiche. Frame, Single. A frame which is bounded by adjacent pairs of grid lines; the smallest subdivision of a grid. Frame, Double. A combination of two horizontal, adja- cent single frames. Grid Line. An imagina
41、ry vertical or horizontal line which defines an edge of the frame boundary. The line is of zero width on the microfiche proper and does not infringe on the usable area of a single or double frame. Heading. Inscription placed at the top of the microfiche to identify its contents. It is readable witho
42、ut magnifica- tion. It may also contain machine-readable information. 1 Heading Backing. An opaque or semi-opaque treatment applied to the back of the heading area to make the head- ing more readily visible by reflected light. Imaginary Document. A document of the appropriate size that would have ex
43、isted if the COM-generated microimage had been produced by source document microfilming. Information Area. The area of a document that contains information, usually exclusive of the margin. Margin, Document. In a document, the space between the information area and the edges of the sheet. Microfiche
44、. A transparent sheet of microfilm with micro- images arranged in a grid pattem. A heading large enough to be read without magnification appears at the top of the microfiche in a space reserved for this purpose. Microfiche Set. Two or more microfiche. A lead micro- fiche followed by one or more addi
45、tional microfiche. Quality Index. The subjective relationship between legi- bility of printed text and the resolution pattern resolved in a microimage. Note: used to pre-determine camera/mic- rofilm requirements to ensure legibility in the resulting microimages. Right-Reading. Orientation of text or
46、 images in normal sequence for reading, even if the material is rotated from an upright position. Right-reading is the opposite of reverse reading, which describes a mirror image. (See Figures la and lb.) - Figure la. Examples of Right Reading Figure lb. Examples of Reverse Reading Row. A horizontal
47、 series of microimages on a microfiche. Source Document Microfilming. The conversion of docu- ments, usually paper, to microimages. 2 4. Physical Characteristics of the Microfiche 4.1 General. Physical characteristics of the microfiche shall conform to ANSI PH1.51. 4.2 Sheet Size. Nominal sheet size
48、s shall be 105 mm x 148 mm (nominal IS0 A6 size). See Figures 2 through 5 and Appendix D for tolerances and other information that could affect the dimensional characteristics. 4.3 Corner Rounding. The comers of any microfiche may be rounded, with the exception of those comers which were previously
49、subjected to a corner cut. Where corner round- ing is employed, the process shail not remove any more than 3 mm of either of the two sides which form the corner. 4.4 Cut-Off Corners. Where segments of an edge have been removed due to corner rounding or corner cuts, a straight line, extending the remainder of the edge in the relevant direction, shall constitute the basis for measur- ing dimensions and spacing. 4.5 Identification of the Sensitized Side. To facilitate microfiche-to-microfiche copying, a notch or corner cut may be used to identify the sensitized layer of a sheet of photograp
