Variable Data Printing (VDP) – Personalization & Barcode Printing for OMR Sheets

The Variable Data Printing (VDP) module from Addmen Group is designed to make your printing process smarter and more personalized. It allows you to pre-print unique data fields—such as candidate information, barcodes, or sheet numbers—directly on OMR (Optical Mark Recognition) forms or other variable print materials.

By integrating with common data sources like Excel or MS Access, this system makes it simple to generate customized print layouts, unique identifiers, and PDF outputs—streamlining workflows for examination, data collection, and result processing.

What is Variable Data Printing?

Variable Data Printing (VDP) is an advanced digital printing process that allows specific elements such as text, numbers, barcodes, or images to change from one printed piece to the next, without slowing down the print run.

In the context of OMR sheet printing, the VDP module ensures that each sheet carries unique identification data, enabling error-free tracking and accurate result mapping during scanning and evaluation.

Key Functions of the Variable Data Printing Module

The Addmen VDP module is equipped with flexible features to handle a wide range of personalization needs for OMR forms and other printed materials.

1. Data Personalization and Pre-Printing for OMR Forms

Use the VDP module to print candidate-specific details—such as roll number, name, center code, or unique ID—on each OMR sheet. This ensures accuracy in identification and prevents duplication of answer sheets during examinations.

2. Unique Sheet Numbering and Barcode Generation

Each OMR form can be pre-printed with a unique sheet number or barcode for efficient scanning and data management.

3. Printing Variable Data from Excel or Access

The system directly imports data from Microsoft Excel or Access databases, enabling easy mapping of fields such as candidate names, roll numbers, or center codes.
This minimizes manual effort and ensures consistency across thousands of forms.

4. Generation of Lithocode, OCR, and Barcode Fields

The VDP module can generate lithocodes, OCR text, or barcode data fields dynamically, based on your imported dataset.

This is especially useful for organizations needing traceable forms, certificates, or secure documents.

5. Creation of PDF Files (Single or Multi-Page)

Create individual PDFs for each form or merged multi-page PDFs containing multiple candidates’ data in sequence.

This flexibility simplifies bulk printing, storage, and digital archiving.

6. Selective Printing of Series or Ranges

The module allows selective printing based on series, batch, or candidate range.
This feature is ideal for handling segmented printing jobs such as exam sessions, departmental batches, or location-based forms.
