OCR Programming
Use this section to program the Imager for optical character recognition (OCR). The 2D imager reads 6
to 60 point OCR typeface.
Note: OCR is not as secure as barcodes. To enhance security in OCR applications, create an OCR
template to match the data, and print an OCR check character.
The 2D imager will read OCR-A, OCR-B, U.S. Currency Serial Number (Money), MICR E-13B, and
SEMI Font.
You can either select an OCR default, or create your own custom template for the type of OCR format
you intend to read. See "OCR" on page 7-1 for programming codes that will enable your imager to read
OCR-A, OCR-B, U.S. Currency, MICR E 13 B, or SEMI fonts. See "OCR Templates" on page 7-2 if you
want to create a custom "template," or character string that defines the length and content of OCR
strings that will be read with your imager.
Note: Setting the template and check character options are essential for OCR reading.

OCR Fonts

Default All OCR Settings
stacked, matrix, and composite barcodes, but not OCR fonts. In addition, any OCR templates you have
created are erased. The eight digit default templates are reinstated for any future use of the
codes listed below.

OCR

Note: OCR symbols can misread when scanned sideways or upside down. Use
Orientation, page 3-16, if your OCR symbols will not usually be presented upright to the imager.
Only one OCR symbology can be read at a time.
OCR-A On allows you to scan characters in the OCR-A font. The default setting allows you to scan any
eight digit combination. If you have created an OCR template, character combinations that fit the tem-
plate can be scanned (see
OCR-B On allows you to scan characters in the OCR-B font. The default setting allows you to scan any
eight digit combination. If you have created an OCR template, character combinations that fit the tem-
plate can be scanned (see
turns off all OCR capability in the imager, so the imager will be able to scan linear,
