To Add an OCR Template

1.Turn on the OCR font you want to read (page 9-1).

2.Begin building the template.

Scan the Enter OCR Template symbol (page 9-13).

3.Scan the characters for the string.

Use the Template Characters chart above to determine what characters you need to create your format. Use the OCR Programming Chart (after the Sample Codes in the back of this manual) to scan the characters for your template.

Example: You need to read any combination of eight digits. The template would be:

dddddddd

To create this template, you would enable the OCR-A font. Scan the Enter OCR Template symbol (page 9-13), then scan the d from the OCR Programming Chart in the back of this manual eight times. Scan Save OCR Template (page 9-13). This would let you read any string of eight digits, for example:

37680981
