Defining OCR zones
To define an OCR zone on a template image:
From the Project Setup Scanning tab, select Barcode/OCR to
access the Barcode and OCR Setup window.
If your project already contains template zones, these will
directly appear on screen.
What to do with the default template OCR zones?
The template project that you have chosen when starting your project (see:
Starting up, Creating a project) is provided with template images and default
template zones. Before defining new OCR zones, check whether the template
zones can be useful to you: check their location and properties. You may
wish to simply modify them rather then start creating new zones from
scratch.
You can for example use a template OCR zone and change any of its
properties, etc. (see: Project setup, Scanning, Barcode/OCR, Setting the OCR
zone properties).
!Caution
If you decide not to use the default template OCR zones, delete them.
To create a new OCR zone, select the template image to be used
for the definition of the OCR zone in the Image field (down
arrow to access the drop-down list).
Click on the OCR button at the top of the window.
