1 Scope
This American National Standard describes the components of a software test form to be used in COM recorder systems that can accept electronic forms. The software test form serves to generate by electronic means an image corresponding to the components of the form as defined in this American National Standard. The components have been designed to check or test certain capabilities of the COM recorder system to assure that good image quality is being obtained and that during the use of the COM recorder system, the quality is being maintained. The recording method (i.e., laser scanner method, cathode ray tube method, light emitting diode method, or the like) is not relevant in establishing the software test form components. The test target form could also complement the quality control of alphanumeric COM recorder systems that use a hard test form slide, such as that described in ANSI/AIIM MS28.

3 Definitions
For the purposes of this American National Standard, the terms and definitions given in ANSI/AIIM TR2 and the following apply.
3.1
COM
computer output microfilm  data generated on a computer that is output to microfilm by a recording system that generates images by CRT, laser, LED, or other means.
3.2
dpi
dots per inch
NOTE When applied to COM applications, this term is generally intended to mean the number of dots per inch in the full equivalent original size, not the dots per inch as actually recorded on film.
3.3
hard form
any type of form that exists as a physical entity, usually on glass for projection purposes or paper.
