<P ALIGN=LEFT>Used for the recognition of page sequences in
print-shops, the Flattermarken is not a true barcode symbol and
requires precise knowledge of the position of the mark on the page.
The Flattermarken system can encode any length numeric data and does
not include a check digit.</P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT><A NAME="DAFT"></A><BR><FONT SIZE=5><B>5.7.3 DAFT Code</B></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT>This is a method for creating 4-state codes where the
data encoding is provided by an external program. Input data should
consist of the letters 'D', 'A', 'F' and 'T' where these refer to
descender, ascender, full (ascender and descender) and tracker
(neither ascender nor descender) respectively. All other characters
are ignored.</P>
