the criterion of at least one regular expression.

Template Creation Settings:
The Template Creation window displays the zones and properties. Each zone must have a zone type and a
specific set of properties.As the zone type is changed during configuration the property panel displays the
appropriate fields for the zone type:
n Zones: Lists all configured zones. Highlight any existing zone to view or change the Properties and
add or delete a zone
n Zone Types: The "Zone Types” area is a definition for the color coding of the zones that are drawn
on the form.
Zone Type Definitions:
n Static - Static value(s) are used to identify the template in the template library:it is recommended to
use a text block that is always present on the page (if you do not use a filter). A drift parameter (a
tolerance margin - can be increased or decreased) is automatically set to search for the static value in a
larger area on the form.If you define multiple static field types (static text and static barcode), all
fields and the exact data values need to be present on the form to match the template. In case of
mismatch, the software will attempt to match the next template.
If you use a filter in connection with a Static zone, the value is only accepted if it meets the set
Regular Expression or ODBC criterion.
n Text - Use this zone type to have its contents recognized as text.The location of the field can move
as long as it stays the same relative location to a Static or Static barcode zone that is referenced as the
reference zone in the Text zone properties. Using a reference zone increases accuracy to compensate
for feeder slip and drift of the fields when scanning.
n Check - The Check zone contains an area that is either marked or not marked on the form. It uses
the “Threshold” property to determine what constitutes a marked area. The "Confidence" property
defines the acceptable difference between the user-defined “Threshold” property and the recognized
value on the scanned image. If the difference between these two properties is below the confidence
value, then the zone returns a LowConfidence error.
n Barcode - This zone type must contain a barcode. During the configuration of a form template the
processing engine will attempt to auto detect the barcode encoding and set the BarCodeType
property. Advanced properties give you the option to set it manually. Depending on the selected
barcode recognition engine, you can set different barcode types for Barcode and Static Barcode
zones.
n Static Barcode - Static Barcode value(s) are used to identify the template in the template library.
The zone's content should be a barcode value that is always present on the page (if you do not use a
filter).A drift parameter (a tolerance margin - can be increased or decreased) is automatically set to
search for the static barcode value in a larger area on the form. If you define multiple static field types
