Enabling OCR Reading
Scan one of the following bar codes to program your scanner to read OCR in
either Normal Video (black characters on a white background), Reverse Video
(white characters on a black background), or Both Normal and Reverse
Video. Scan the OCR Off bar code to disable OCR reading.
Note: Once OCR reading is enabled, you must select a Pre-Defined Template,
page -3, or create a Custom OCR Template, page -8, in order to read
OCR characters.
Working Orientation
OCR characters are direction-sensitive. For example, OCR can misread when
scanned sideways or upside down. Use the working orientation settings if your
OCR characters will not usually be presented upright to the scanner. If the
OCR string is not in the selected orientation, it will not be read. Orientation
