OCR Programming Parameters
Enable/Disable OCR-A
Parameter # 680
To enable or disable OCR-A, scan one of the following bar codes.
OCR-A Variant
Parameter # 684
Font variant sets a processing algorithm and default character subset for the given font. To choose a variant,
scan one of the following bar codes. Selecting the most appropriate font variant optimizes performance and
accuracy.
OCR-A supports the following variants:
• OCR-A Full ASCII
!"#$()*+,-./0123456789<>ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ\^
• OCR-A Reserved 1
$*+-./0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
• OCR-A Reserved 2
$*+-./0123456789<>ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
• OCR-A Banking
-0123456789<>
NOTE OCR is not as secure as a bar code. To decrease OCR misdecodes and speed OCR reading, set an
accurate OCR template and character subset, and use a check digit. See OCR Subset on page 8-13 and
OCR Template on page 8-15.
NOTE All OCR fonts are disabled by default. Enabling OCR can slow bar code decoding. Enabling more than
one OCR font could also slow OCR decoding and impact OCR decoding accuracy.
