How to use this 2d barcode form
- Complete this form online and then print it out. Do not attempt to print out a blank form.
- You must submit the original 2d barcode form only. Do not send a photocopy.
- Never alter the form by hand after you print it out. The
information you enter is stored in the barcodes on the
form.
- If you want to make more than one registration with
similar information, keep the form open after you print
it; then make the necessary changes and print that version.
Repeat as needed. Once you close the form, all the
information entered will be lost.
- Both single- and double-sided printing are acceptable.
- Important printer information: To achieve best results, use
a laser printer. Inkjet printer copies require enlarging if
you use the shrink-to-fit-page option. Dot-matrix printer
copies are not acceptable.
- Please inspect your printed form to confirm that 2-D barcodes like the one below appear on each page. The barcodes must appear clearly and be free of any distortions, smudges, or fading. If such problems appear and cannot be corrected after checking your printer, do not submit the form.
