Disc Serialisation
5. DISC SERIALISATION
Sony DADC Austria offers the possibility to apply an
individual code number for every disc of the DVD-
ROM production, e.g. for identification purposes.
Your preselected code number is printed on the disc
with the ink-jet process.
The code number is printed approximately 5 mm
from the centre hole of a disc in arc form.
The number will be printed on the read-out side
and can only be seen from the read-out side.
(see drawing below)
Please note that this service may result in slightly
longer turn around time of your DVD-ROM order.
The most important data of an ink-jet printer
are indicated for disc numbering:
● Print image: 6 x 9 dot matrix, 3 mm high,
5 characters per 10 mm.
● The series or code number may consist of
a maximum of 28 characters using
numbers, letters and symbols. Of the
maximum 28 characters 9 characters can
be changed automatically (e.g. increasing
order of numbers).
● Admissible characters of the series or
code number are: letters ”a-z”, ”A-Z”,
numbers ”0-9” and symbols (selected
characters of the ISO 8859-1 set of
characters) in case you want to use
symbols please get in touch with our
Customer Service.
● It is not possible to underline characters
(e.g. 123456).
● A series or code number that changes can
only be printed once on the same disc.
● Due to limitation of space on the disc
surface the series or code number can be
applied in one line only.
● The selected numbers of a series or code
number can be increased or reduced by
any constant value. Other characters such
as letters or symbols remain unchanged.
● A maximum of 9 characters can be
increased or reduced.
Example:
BCDE123456789
ABC-123456789gh0m
123456789abcdef
00000-123456789-0000000
The numbers 123456789 are the
characters that can be changed.
● It is not possible to write in ”bold” or
”italics”.
Special requests (e.g. printing random
numbers which can be supplied on a DOS
compatible 3.5” floppy disk) should be
addressed directly to our Customer Service
department.
