OCR Programming
Use this section to program the image scanner for optical character recognition
(OCR). The image scanner reads 6 to 60 point OCR typeface.
Note: OCR is not as secure as barcodes. To enhance security in OCR
applications, create an OCR template to match the data and print an OCR
check character.
The image scanner will read OCR-A, OCR-B, U.S. Currency Serial Number
(Money), MICR E-13B, and 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 9-1 for
programming codes that will enable your image scanner to read OCR-A, OCR-
B, U.S. Currency, MICR E 13 B, or SEMI fonts. See "OCR Templates" on page
9-3 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 image scanner.
Note: Setting the template and check character options are essential for OCR
reading.
OCR Fonts
Default All OCR Settings
turns off all OCR capability in the image scanner, so
the image scanner will be able to scan linear, stacked, matrix, and composite
barcodes, but not OCR fonts. In addition, any OCR templates you have created
are erased. The eight digit default templates are reinstated for any future use of
the
OCR On
codes listed below.

OCR
Note: OCR symbols can misread when scanned sideways or upside down. Use
Working Orientation
, page 4-22, if your OCR symbols will not usually be
presented upright to the image scanner.
Only one OCR symbology can be read at a time.
