OCR Programming

To create this template, you would enable the OCR-A font. Scan the Enter OCR Template symbol (page 8-16). Scan the d from the OCR Pro-

in the back of this manual three times, then scan 2041424320 from the Programming Chart on page B-5 (the hex char- acters for “space,” “A,” “B,” “C,” “space”). Scan the d three more times, then scan Save OCR Template (page 8-17). This would let you read any string of three digits, space, “ABC,” space, then any string of three digits. For example:

551 ABC 983

If using PowerView to program, use the space bar to designate a space and not the hex value of 20.

4.Exit OCR Template Editor

Scan Save OCR Template to save your entries. Discard OCR Tem- plate exits without saving any OCR Template changes.

Stringing Together Multiple Formats (Creating “Or” Statements)

You may want to program the imager to accept many OCR formats. To do this, you would string together each format with a “t.” This tells the imager to read optical characters that match any one of the formats in the template.

Example: You need to read any combination of eight digits, or a combination of four digits, two uppercase letters, and two digits. The template would be:

ddddddddtddddlldd

To create this template, you would enable the OCR-A font. Scan the Enter OCR Template symbol (page 8-16). Scan the d from the OCR Pro- gramming Chart on page B-4eight times, then scan the t to create the “or” statement. Then you would scan the characters for the second template. Scan d four times, scan l two times, then scan d two more times. Scan Save OCR Template (page 8-17). This would let you read either type of format, for example:

99028650

or

9902XZ50
