The breakdown:
Repeating Characters
To simplify the creation of user templates, the Fixed Character Repeat
control code may be used to repeat a character a specified number of
times. Any specific ASCII value, wildcard, or group can be repeated.
Because each OCR line is limited to a maximum of 50 characters, you can
shorten your string by using a fixed character repeat.
Example: Using the example for New Template‚ page 9, you need to read
8 numeric digits in either OCR-A or OCR-B:
12345678
The string without repeating characters was: 1 3 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 0
Using Repeating Characters, it would be: 1 3 5 E 0 8 0
