What it checks
The print layout (Profile 0.1) reads at smaller sizes than the standard layout.
Why
The print layout uses larger marks and gaps for small labels, so a printer's dot gain and a camera's blur do not close the gaps. This checks that it earns its place.
Test codes
Print or open the sheet at https://openckey.org/tests/sheet?id=FT-09. It is drawn by the CKey web SDK from the values below.
| Code | Size | Version | Level | Layout | Style | Holds |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | 0.3 in | smallest that fits | M | standard | plain | https://openckey.org/t/FT09-A |
| B | 0.4 in | smallest that fits | M | standard | plain | https://openckey.org/t/FT09-B |
| C | 0.5 in | smallest that fits | M | standard | plain | https://openckey.org/t/FT09-C |
| D | 0.3 in | smallest that fits | M | plain | https://openckey.org/t/FT09-D |
|
| E | 0.4 in | smallest that fits | M | plain | https://openckey.org/t/FT09-E |
|
| F | 0.5 in | smallest that fits | M | plain | https://openckey.org/t/FT09-F |
Set up
- Print the test sheet at 100% scale on the best printer you have, ideally 600 dpi.
- Codes A to C use the standard layout; D to F use the print layout, at the same three sizes.
Steps
- From as close as your phone can focus, try each code for up to 8 seconds.
- Record whether it read.
What to record
- Read within 8 seconds, boolean, required. For each of: A std 0.3 in, B std 0.4 in, C std 0.5 in, D print 0.3 in, E print 0.4 in, F print 0.5 in.
- Printer resolution (dpi), number, optional.
Every report also records the device, operating system, reader and its version, and the printer or screen.
How to grade it
- Pass: A print-layout code read at a size where the standard layout did not.
- Partial: Both layouts read at the same sizes.
- Fail: The print layout read at no size where the standard layout read.
