OCR Programming

Introduction

Use this section to program the hand-held Imager to read machine readable fonts used in optical character recognition (OCR). The IT4410 reads 6 to 60 point OCR typeface.

The IT4410/4710 will read the following fonts:

OCR-A

0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ ()<>/\+-*$

OCR-B

U.S. Currency Serial Number (Money)

*

You can either select an OCR default, or create your own custom template for the type of OCR format you intend to read. See "OCR" on page 4-2 for programming codes that will enable your scanner to read OCR-A, OCR-B or U.S. Currency fonts. See "Creating OCR Templates" on page 4-4 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 scanner.
