DIN CEN/TS 16238 DIN SPEC 66296:2011-12

This document describes the 'Open Standard Interface between Image Processor, Machine Control and Image Controller' (IP/MC/IC Interface) in the context of postal automation equipment. It was agreed to unify the interfaces between a) Image Processor and Image Controller, b) Image Processor and Machine Control and c) Machine Control and Image Controllerand to produce one common specification for this so-called IP/MC/IC Interface. The communication partners of this interface will be called Machine or Machine Control (MC) on the one side and Reading/Coding (RC) System on the other side. There may be several instances of this interface, depending on the implementation of the MC and the connected RC.
