本美国国家标准描述了可接受电子表格的COM记录系统中使用的软件测试表格的组件。软件测试表格用于通过电子方式生成与本美国国家标准中定义的表格组件相对应的图像。组件设计用于检查或测试COM记录器系统的某些功能，以确保获得良好的图像质量，并且在使用COM记录器系统的过程中保持质量。记录方法（即，激光扫描仪方法、阴极射线管方法、发光二极管方法等）与建立软件测试表单组件无关。测试目标表格还可以补充使用硬测试表格幻灯片的字母数字COM记录器系统的质量控制，如ANSI/AIIM MS28中所述。

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.
