OCR Programming

You can either select an OCR default, or create your own custom tem- plate for the type of OCR format you intend to read. See OCR on page 8- 2 for programming codes that will enable your imager to read OCR-A, OCR-B, U.S. Currency, MICR E 13 B, or SEMI fonts. See OCR Templates on page 8-5if you want to create a custom “template,” or character string that defines the length and content of OCR strings that will be read with your imager.

Setting the template and check character options are essential for OCR reading

NOTE

OCR Fonts

Default All OCR Settings turns off all OCR capability in the imager, so the imager will be able to scan linear, stacked, matrix, and composite bar codes, but not OCR fonts. In addition, any OCR templates you have created are erased. The eight digit default templates are reinstated for any future use of the OCR On codes listed below.

NOTE

OCR symbols can misread when scanned side-

ways or upside down. Use Working Orientation on page 3-24, if your OCR symbols will not usually be presented upright to the scanner.

Only one OCR symbology can be read at a time.
