FH/FZ5 Processing Item Function Reference Manual
OCR
Characters in images can be recognized and read as text information using the internal font information without
the need to prepare dictionary data. Using your own dictionary data (OCR User Dictionary), you can also
recognize characters in a special font.
OCR provides a higher level of recognition st
ability
than character inspection when reading closely spaced
characters, curved text strings, and other deviational characters. Setup is easy because there is no need to
create a dictionary.
Used in the Following Case
• Reading characters printed on a product
• The following characters are acceptable for OCR function.
• Letters (A to Z) • Numbers (0 to 9) • Period (.)
• Colon (:) • Hyphen (-) • Apostrophe (')
• Left parenthese (() • Rightparentheses ()) • Slash (/)
• Note that measurement cannot be done on a continuing sequence of the following symbols.
• Period (.) • Colon (:) • Hyphen (-)
• Apostrophe (') • Left parenthese (() • Rightparentheses ())
• Slash (/)
Example
• Processing is different for color images and monochrome images. If the camera type, color camera, or
monochrome camera, was changed from a previous setup, a reset of some settings may be needed.
Example: Inspection of expiration date, lot number, or other text printed on a curved surface such as a can or bottle.
