CONFIGURATION | OCR DECODING
The PowerScan™ PD/PM/PBT9600 family is equipped with an Optical Character Recog-
nition feature.
This section describes how to configure the Datalogic bar code reader to enable OCR
decoding.
The PowerScan™ PD/PM/PBT9600 models support the following OCR font types:
• OCR-A
• OCR-B
• MICR E13B.
In most OCR applications a suitable usage of check digits and the addition of constraints
on sub-strings types (e.g. digits-only or letter-only) reduces misdecoding probabilities.
The user can choose between a set of predefined templates (already optimized for
decoding) and customizable free templates.
For free templates, as OCR decoding is less reliable than traditional barcode decoding,
the reader provides tools to minimize misdecoded labels. As a result, particular care
shall be dedicated to the setup of free custom templates to reduce incorrect output.
For more information on how to customize the user templates for your needs, please
contact Datalogic Technical Support.
Use one of the following labels to enable one of the predefined templates for OCR
decoding.
