Signature Capture Code

CapCode, a signature capture code, is a special pattern that encloses a signature area on a document and allows a scanner to capture a signature.
There are several accepted patterns that allow automatic identification of different signatures on the same form. For example, on the federal tax return 1040 form there are three signature areas, one each for two joint filers, and one for a professional preparer. By using different patterns, a program can correctly identify all three, so they can be captured in any sequence and still be identified correctly.
