OCR Configuration

OCR Configuration

OCR configuration is performed with a combination of PDT parameters and registry settings. For purposes of configuration, OCR is considered one sym- bology. Only one font can be active at a time.

OCR Data Output

OCR data is outputted to the system as though it were bar code data. Characters of the OCR fonts are outputted as printed. Only A-Z, 0-9 are supported.

The maximum number of OCR rows is three. The maximum number of characters per row is 16. This means that the overall maximum number of OCR characters is 48 characters.

Check digits are not outputted with OCR data. See "OCR Check Characters" starting on page F-42for more information.

OCR Templates

You can specify a null-terminated string that defines the length and content of OCR strings that can be read. This string can be used to specify a single template or multiple templates that are concatenated together. You can also stipulate two template variables that specify a configurable class of characters.

By default, a single template is defined that allows for any 8-digit OCR string to be read.
