Test Zone and Test All Zones — attempts to read all or the selected bar code
or OCR zones for a value. The Bar Code and OCR Values dialog box will be
displayed.
This dialog box provides the following information:
• Label of the bar code or OCR zone.
• Type of bar code found in the zone. If the zone is an OCR zone, the Type
will be OCR.
• Confidence level (in a percentage) of the bar code value found.
• Orientation of the bar code or OCR zone (with 0 degrees representing a
horizontal and right-side-up bar code or OCR).
• Value of the bar code or OCR zone.
• X and Y coordinates of the upper left corner of the bar code or OCR zone.
The coordinates are in 1/100ths of an inch and represent the distance of the
zone from the upper-left corner of the image.
• Width and Height of the bar code or OCR zone in units of 1/100ths of an
inch.
NOTE: If a bar code or OCR value cannot be found for a zone, the zone is still
included in the value list with only the label and zone coordinates
displayed.
Zone Properties — allows you to define the properties for the currently
selected bar code or OCR zone. The Bar Code Zone Setup dialog box or the
OCR Zone Setup dialog box will be displayed. See the sections entitled, “Bar
Code Zone Setup dialog box” and “OCR Zone Setup dialog box” later in this
chapter for more information.
General Properties — allows you define properties that will apply to all bar
code and OCR zones. This option is useful when using bar code header
sheets for document separation and indexing that has less content than the
rest of the pages of the document. This option can increase the performance
of scanning into the bar code/OCR application.
When you select this option, the General Bar Code and OCR Properties dialog
box will be displayed.
1. Select the Extract bar codes/OCRs from image between checkbox to
activate this option.
2. Enter a value in the minimum bytes field (default 1000 bytes) and the
maximum bytes field (default 100,000 bytes). The values entered in these
fields limit the images from which bar codes or OCR text will be read to
only those whose size falls between these values.
3. Click OK.
