Character Match Sequences
On the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page A-4, find the Hex
value that represents the character(s) you want to match. Use the
Programming Chart (inside the back cover) to scan the numbers that
represent these characters.
Example: You need to read three digits, three specific characters (ABC), three
digits. The template would be:
ddd414243ddd
To create this template, you would enable the OCR-A font. Scan the
Enter
OCR Template
symbol (page8-13). Scan the
d
from the OCR Programming
Chart in the back of this manual three times. Then scan
414243
from the
inside back cover (the hex characters for “A,” “B,” and “C”), and scan the
d
three more times. Scan
Save OCR Template,
page 8-14. This would let you
read any string of three digits, “ABC,” then any string of three digits, for
example:

551ABC983

Adding Spaces
You may also need to put spaces in your template.
Example: You need to read three digits, space, three specific characters (ABC),
space, three digits. The template would be:
ddd2041424320ddd
To create this template, you would enable the OCR-A font. Scan the
Enter
OCR Template
symbol (page8-13). Scan the
d
from the OCR Programming
Chart in the back of this manual three times, then scan
2041424320
from the
Programming Chart on the inside back cover (the hex characters for “space,”
“A,” “B,” “C,” “space”). Scan the
d
three more times, then scan
Save OCR
Template
(page 8-14). This would let you read any string of three digits,
space, “ABC,” space, then any string of three digits. For example:

551 ABC 983

Note: If using Quick*View to program, use the space bar to designate a space
and not the hex value of 20.
