CHAPTER 12 OCR PROGRAMMING
Introduction
This chapter describes how to set up the scanner for OCR programming. The scanner can read 6 to 60 point OCR
typeface. It supports font types OCR-A, OCR-B, MICR E13B, and US Currency Serial Number.
OCR is not as secure as a bar code. To decrease OCR misdecodes and speed OCR reading, set an accurate OCR
template and character subset, and use a check digit.
All OCR fonts are disabled by default. Enabling OCR could slow bar code decoding. You can enable OCR-A and
OCR-B at the same time, but not other combined font types.
Setting Parameters
To set feature values, scan a single bar code or a short bar code sequence. The settings are stored in non-volatile
memory and are preserved even when the imager powers down.
To return all features to default values, scan the Set Factory Defaults on page 9-5. Throughout the programming
bar code menus, asterisks (
*) indicate default values.
NOTE Most computer monitors allow scanning bar codes directly on the screen. When scanning from the screen,
be sure to set the document magnification to a level where you can see the bar code clearly, and bars
and/or spaces do not merge.
