Creating an OCR Template
A single template allows you to program the scanner to read any combination of
characters in the order you specify. Refer to examples that follow the Template
Characters table below.
Template Characters
To Add an OCR Template
1. Begin building the template.
Scan the
Enter OCR Template
symbol (page 4-10).
2. Scan the characters for the string.
Use the Template Characters chart above to determine what characters you
need to create your format. Use the OCR Programming Chart (after the
Sample Codes in the back of this manual) to scan the characters for your
template.
Example A:
You need to read any combination of 8 digits. The template
would be:
dddddddd
To create this template, you would scan the
Enter OCR Template
symbol
(page 4-10), then scan the
d
from the OCR Programming Chart after the
Sample Codes in the back of this manual 8 times. Scan
Save OCR Template
(page 4-11). This would let you read any string of 8 digits, for example:
37680981
a represents any alphanumeric character (digit or letter)
c represents a check character position
d represents any digit
e represents any available OCR character
g represents character from user-defined variable “g”
h represents character from user-defined variable “h”
l represents any uppercase letter
t marks the start of a new template
r multi row indicator
All other characters represent themselves. Spaces can be used.
