   GRYPHON™ I GD/GBT/GM4500
CONFIGURATION | OCR DECODING 
The GX45 bar code family is equipped with an Optical Character Recognition feature.
This section describes how to configure the Datalogic bar code reader to enable OCR
decoding.
The Gx45 models support the following OCR font types:
• OCR-A
• OCR-B
• MICR E13B
• US Currency Serial Number.
In most OCR applications a suitable usage of check digits and the addition of constraints
on sub-strings types (e.g. digits-only or letter-only) reduces misdecoding probabilities.
The  user  can  choose  between  a  set  of  predefined  templates  (already  optimized  for
decoding) and customizable free templates.
For free templates, as OCR decoding is less reliable than traditional barcode decoding,
the  reader provides  tools to  minimize misdecoded  labels.  As  a  result,  particular  care
shall be dedicated to the setup of free custom templates to reduce incorrect output.
For more information on how to customize the user templates for your needs, please
contact Datalogic Technical Support.
Use  one  of  the  following  labels  to  enable  one  of  the  predefined  templates  for  OCR
decoding.
