The following guidelines are applicable when configuring a PlanetPress Capture object that utilizes ICR:
The collected data is expected to be a number, therefore the numeric mask type must be selected, or
The collected data is expected to be a letter, therefore the alphabet mask type must be selected,
If upper case letters are expected, select Upper case in the Case option menu. The captured characters would be immediately
converted to capital letter i.e. the ICR engine will recognize a lower case a but will display it in upper case.
If lower case letters are expected, select Lower case in the Case option menu. Same as for upper case letters, the captured
characters would be converted to lower case and displayed as such.
If proper names or nouns are expected (i.e. only the first letter must be a capital letter), select Capitalization in the Case option
menu.Only the first letter would be converted to a capital letter.
If no specific format is expected, select None in the Case option menu.The letters will be interpreted as written, no conversion
will be done i.e. characters in lower case will be displayed as such.
The collected data is expected to be a combination of numbers and letters, therefore the alphanumeric mask type must be
selected.
Why: Reducing the number of expected characters increases the probability that the correct one is matched. This allows us to
avoid that the letter l (a lowercase L) is not recognized as the numeric value 1 (one) and vice versa. Or, if the mask type is
identified as alphanumeric, there’s a possibility that the letter a is recognized as 2; since Capture will also interpret how the
movement was traced.
How: Use the following options from the Capture options tab under Mask Type and Case option to filter the expected data.
The following diagram illustrates the available mask types. It is recommended to select the mask type that is the closest to the
desired result. An alphanumeric field should be used as a last resort.
