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 Modulo 36 Check Character

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 deter- mines the modulo value for the calculation. By default, the check character computation is unweighted, but the imager also supports two weighted modulo 10 checking schemes.

Example: To program a modulo 11 check character, you would enter the following 11 characters in order:

0123456789X

Also enter the OCR template:

dddddddc

Enable the OCR-A font, then scan the following string:

6512351X

The imager performs the following check character computation:

(6 + 5 + 1 + 2 +3 + 5 + 1 + X) modulo 11 = 0

Since the result is zero, the message is considered to be valid, so the reader outputs the message: 6512351

Programming a User-Defined Check Character

1.Scan the Enter OCR Check Character barcode, below.

Enter OCR Check Character

2.Enter the characters in order. For each character, look up the corresponding hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page A-3.Use the Programming Chart on the inside the back cover of this manual to scan the two symbols for each hex value.

3.Scan the Save barcode on the inside back cover.

Example: To program the modulo 11 check character from example #8 on page 7-7, enable the OCR-A font. Scan the Enter OCR Check Character barcode on page 7-7, then scan the following hex values in order:

3031323334353637383958
