How: Make sure there’s enough space between each field. You must re-design the document if
that’s the case. There’s no minimum value that is required as the distance between 2 fields,
except for the 7mm border that is required in order for the Anoto digital pen to recognize the
pattern being used.
Writing in a Legible Way
l
Target: User.
l
What: It is important to write in a legible way i.e. applying yourself by writing well defined
numbers and letter that are easily interpreted.
Warning
You must write on a flat and smooth surface i.e. a delivery person should use a clipboard.
Why: Some numbers can create some confusion, like numbers 7 and 1. 7 can be interpreted as
a 1 and vice versa. The letter i, where the dot on top is a circle, can possibly cause a conflict
because the dot can be considered as an o.
How:
l Write an additional line under the number 1.
l Write an additional line across the number 7.
l The ICR functionality of PlanetPress Capture cannot recognize dotted letters where there
are circles instead of dots (like i , j). This would be analyzed as an i AND o. Therefore,
dots should be as such and not circles.
l In French, the ç is somewhat sensitive. You must apply yourself and draw the letter
carefully. In most cases, it is recognized, but attention must be paid.
l Number 8 is also sensitive. It is recommended that the number is traced as one
movement instead of drawing 2 circles on top of each other.
