OCR Programming
Use this section to program the imager for optical character recognition (OCR).
The IT4620 reads 6 to 60 point OCR typeface.
Note: OCR is not as secure as bar codes. To enhance security in OCR
applications, create an OCR template to match the data, and print an
OCR check character.
The IT4620 will read the following fonts:
• OCR-A
0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
()<>/\+-*$
• OCR-B
• U.S. Currency Serial Number (Money)
• MICR E-13B
• SEMI Font
You can either select an OCR default, or create your own custom template for
the type of OCR format you intend to read. See "OCR" on page 9-2 for
programming codes that will enable your imager to read OCR-A, OCR-B, U.S.
Currency, MICR E 13 B, or SEMI fonts. See "OCR Templates" on page 9-4 if
you want to create a custom “template,” or character string that defines the
length and content of OCR strings that will be read with your imager.
Note: Setting the template and check character options are essential for OCR
reading.
