Using the Most Restrictive Mask
l Target: Form designer.
l
What: In the Capture Options tab of a Capture object, the mask type indicates the type of character to
be recognized. There are 3 possible selections: numeric, alphabet and alphanumeric. The alphabetic
mask type allows you to select the letter case.
The following guidelines are applicable when configuring a PlanetPress Capture object that utilizes
ICR:
l The collected data is expected to be a number, therefore the numeric mask type must be selected, or
l The collected data is expected to be a letter, therefore the alphabet mask type must be selected,
l
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.
l
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.
l 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.
l
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.
l 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.
