Comment : | 65 Comment: "Paper record shall be created such that its contests are machine-readable." The discussion continues "this can be done by using specific OCR fonts." Recommended change: 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." Rationale: 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?
