OCR Programming
Introduction
This chapter describes how to set up the scanner for OCR programming. The scanner can read 6 to 60
point OCR typeface. It supports font types OCR-A, OCR-B, MICR E13B, and US Currency Serial Number.
OCR is not as secure as a barcode. To decrease OCR misdecodes and speed OCR reading, set an
accurate OCR template and character subset, and use a check digit.
All OCR fonts are disabled by default. Enabling OCR could slow barcode decoding. You can enable
OCR-A and OCR-B at the same time, but not other combined font types.
Setting Parameters
To set feature values, scan a single barcode or a short barcode sequence. The settings are stored in
non-volatile memory and are preserved even when the imager powers down.
To return all features to default values, scan the <bl_blue><em_Emphasis>Default Parameters on page
6-5. Throughout the programming barcode menus, asterisks (
*) indicate default values.
note Most computer monitors allow scanning barcodes directly on the screen. When scanning from the screen,
be sure to set the document magnification to a level where you can see the barcode clearly, and bars
and/or spaces do not merge.
