OCR Programming
8-2 PowerScan® 7000 2D
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 OCRon 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
Templateson page 8-5 if 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.
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.

OCR

Only one OCR symbology can be read at a time.
NOTE
Setting the template and check character
options are essential for OCR reading
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.
