Additional Content

There are four different types of additional content that can be added at print time. Text, Images, Barcodes and OMR Marks. They are used to add static or variable content when generating output. This is useful when driving custom processes on machines using either Barcodes or OMR Marks, as well as allowing the addition of last minute information through text and images.
