OCR Programming
8-2 DuraLine™ 2D Imagers
You can either select an OCR default, or create your own custom tem-
plate for the type of OCR format you intend to read. See
OCR on page 8-
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 8-5
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.
OCR Fonts
Default All OCR Settings
turns off all OCR capability in the imager, so
the imager will be able to scan linear, stacked, matrix, and composite bar
codes, 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.
