OCR Programming
8-8 PowerScan® 7000 2D
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-4 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
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 image r to accept many OCR for mats. 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-4 eight times, then scan the tto 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
NOTE
If using PowerView to program, use the space
bar to designate a space and not the hex value
of 20.
