9、o July, 1983 Formsets for Use with Embossed Cards and Imprinting Equipment 5 Preface This is the second edition of CSA Standard 2243.32, Formsets for Use with Embossed Cards and Imprinting Equipment, which supersedes the first edition published in 1977. It is based upon modifications published in th
10、e Canadian Bankers Association Standard S9, Formsets for Use With Embossed Cards, and Imprinting Equipment in the Banking Industry. The material presented is updated to the current document formset requirementsfor other industries as well as the banks. Dimensions are given in both SI (metric) units
11、(rounded) and exact inch units due to the precise requirements of these documents. This Standard does not apply to charge forms itemized by many point of sale devices such as cash register printers. Standardization of these formsets results in: (a) one card issuers charge form and paymenthansaction
12、card have to be processed; and Improved automatic processing of standardized charge form media in an interchange environment where more than (6) A reduction in the need for multiple imprinters at the point of sale. Examples of industry relationships which may benefit from imprint standardization are
13、: (a) Financial institutions (airline, petroleum, retail, entertainment); (b) Pet roleurn (financial institutions, travel, entertain ment) ; (c) Retail (financial institutions, travel, entertainment); and (d ) Ai r I i nes ( f i n anc i a I i ns t i t u t i o n s, trave I, en te rt ai n m e n t ) .
14、Each industry has varying degrees of interchange among its own members. This Standard was prepared by a Working Group of and approved by the Technical Committee on Credit Cards and Identification Cards under the jurisdiction of the Standards Steering Committee on Computers, Information Processing an
15、d Office Machines, and was formally approved by these Committees. Rexdale, July, 1983 Note: Although the intended primary application of this Standard is stated in its Scope, it is important to note that it remains the responsibility of the user of the Standard to judge its suitability for his or he

27、carbon paper or carbon- less paper. If interleaved carbon paper is used, the following shall (a) Thecarbon substrate between part 1 and part 2 shall be carbon coated on both sides to facilitate imprinting of the reverse of part 1 and on the face of part 2; and (b) The carbon substrate between parts
28、2 and 3 shall be coated on the reverse side only. If carbonless paper is used, the configuration shall be determined by the system requirements. Note: Two, three, or four parf formsets are permissible as determined by the bank or merchant, or both, requiring such documents. 2.1.2 Sequence. The seque
29、nce of parts shall be determined by the system requirements at the option of the issuer. 2.2 Dimensions 2.2.1 The detached copies of each formset shall be the size of either: (a) Size A (see Figure 1). Length - 187.33 * 0.94 mm (7.375 * 0.037 in.). Width - 82.55 i 0.38 rnm (3.250 F 0.015 in.); or (b

July, 1983 Forrnsets for Use with Embossed Cards and Imprinting Equipment 9 3. Printing Requirements 3.1 In general, the formset con
37、tains two main areas, each of which have different requirements. To facilitate processing, particularly where national or international exchange systems are in operation, the following printing requirements have been determined and are applicable only to the processing copy: (a) OCR Capture Area. Th
38、e upper left hand corner of the form (area ABCD in Figures 1 and 2) is reserved for imprints from the card and the merchant identification plate. The areas ALKJ and MNOP are reserved for other information intended to be captured by OCR techniques. Printing in scan areas not intended to be optically
39、read, must be printed in non-read ink. For printing required to be read by OCR equipment, read ink suitable for data capture shall be used. The OCR requirements of the formset shall be in accordance with IS0 Standard 1831, Printing Specifi- cations for Optical Character Recognition; (b) Other Areas:
40、 (i) Area EFGH on the PROCESSING COPY is reserved for bank use and is at present being used by some card issuers for the microfilming of retrieval numbers; and (ii) Area EFGH is available for use on the MERCHANT and CUSTOMER copy, as agreed to by the merchant and the card issuer, for printing, e.g.,
41、 logos; (c) Reverse Side. Printing on the reverse side (back printing) is acceptable provided it does not interfere with face scanning or eye readability. 4. Information Content 4.1 Formset Reference Code 4.1.1 Where required by the issuer, the formset shall have a sequential reference code which sh
42、all consist of the following: (a) A one digit transaction code followed by; (b) One space, followed by; (c) Six characters indicating the sequence number; (d) The transaction code which will have one of the following values: (i) 0 - 4 = Reserved for future use; (ii) 5 = Sales; (iii) 6 = Credit; (iv)
43、 7 - 9 = Reserved for future use. In certain interchange systems this may require special consideration. The reference code shall be OCR 7B font or the equivalent, and the printing specifications shall be in accordance with IS0 Standard 1831, Printing Specifi- cations for Optical Character Recogniti
44、on. 4.1.2 On the size A formset, the sequential reference code shall be located in the area designated BLKX in Figure 1 and appear on all parts of the formset. The first (or low order) digit of the reference code shall be a minimum of 36.53 mm (1.4375 in.) from the rightmost edge of the formset to t
45、he beginning of that character; the seventh (or high order) digit shalt be a maximum of 66.72 mm (2.625 in.) from the rightmost edge of the formset to the end of that character; and the centre line of the reference code shall be 5.57 f 1.02 rnm (0.219 k 0.040 in.) from the top of the formset. 4.1.3
46、On the size B formset, the sequential reference code shall be located in the area designated MNOP in Figure2, and appear on all parts of the formset. The first (or low order) digit of the reference code shall be a minimum of 12.70 mm (0.5 in.) from the rightmost edge of the formsettothe beginning of
47、 that character; the seventh (or high order) digit shall be a maximum of 44.00 mm (1.73 in.) from the rightmost edge of the formset to the end of that character; and the centre line of the reference codeshall be 35.60 * 1.02 mm (1.40 k0.040 in.) from the top of the formset.
