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 9-13). Scan the d from the OCR Programming Chart in the back of this manual eight 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 9-14). This would let you read either type of format, for example:

99028650

or

9902XZ50

You can string together as many templates as you need.

OCR User-Defined Variables

You can create up to two of your own user variables for an OCR template. These variables will represent any OCR readable characters. The user-defined variables are stored under the letters “g” and “h.” Creating a user variable follows the same steps as creating a template, but instead of scanning the Enter OCR Template symbol, you scan the Enter User-Defined Variable symbol (page 9- 13). The letters g and h can then be used in an OCR template to define the variable you specified.

Example: You need a variable to represent the letters “A,” “B,” or “C.” The template for this variable would be:

414243

To create this template, you would enable the OCR-A font. Scan the Enter User-Defined Variable g symbol (page 9-13). Scan 414243 from the Programming Chart (the hex characters for “A,” “B,” and “C”). Scan Save OCR Template (page 9-14). This will let you read either A or B or C in any position where you place the g. For example, you could create the following template:

ddddddggg
