Comment : | 65 I 6.8.6.8 48 "Paper record shall be created such that its contests are machine-readable." The discussion continues "this can be done by using specific OCR fonts." Recommend rewording this requirement to "the paper record shall be created such that all information on the paper record can be gathered by automated and electronic means." This requirement is in conflict with earlier requirements to match the DRE font with the paper record font. Comment: Also, does having a machine readable barcode meet this requirement? Or, are they talking about the paper record text itself?
