character. The image scanner transmits the OCR data without the check character data. You must specify the location of the check character in the template with a c.

Example: You need to read any combination of seven digits, with a modulo 10 check character in the eighth position. The template would be:

dddddddc

To create this template, you would enable the OCR-A font. Scan the Modulo 10 Check Character symbol. Then scan the Enter OCR Template symbol, and scan the d from the OCR Programming Chart seven times, and scan the c once. Scan Save OCR Template (page 9-13). This template will let you read any combination of six digits with a correct check character after. (If the check character is invalid, data is discarded.) For example, the following string could be scanned:

01234569

and the output would be: 0123456

OCR Modulo 10 Check Character

Scan this symbol to program the OCR template for a simple modulo 10 checksum of the digits 0 through 9.

OCR Modulo 36 Check Character

Scan this symbol to program the OCR template for a simple modulo 36 checksum of the digits 0 through 9 and the letters A through Z.

OCR User-Defined Check Character

You can customize the check character calculation to suit your application. Each character of the check character alphabet can be programmed in its proper order. The number of characters you enter determines the modulo value
