OCR Programming

Introduction

This chapter describes how to set up the RS6000 for OCR programming. The RS6000 can read 6 to 60 point OCR

typeface. It supports font types OCR-A, OCR-B, MICR-E13B, and US Currency Serial Number.

OCR is not as secure as a bar code. To decrease OCR misdecodes and speed OCR reading, set an accurate

OCR template and character subset, and use a check digit.

All OCR fonts are disabled by default. Enabling OCR can slow bar code decoding. Enabling more than one OCR

font could also slow OCR decoding and impact OCR decoding accuracy.

Throughout the programming bar code menus, asterisks (

*) indicate default values.

Table 15 lists the defaults for OCR parameters. To change any option, scan the appropriate bar code(s) provided

in the Parameter Descriptions section beginning on page 247.

NOTE: Most computer monitors allow scanning the bar codes directly on the screen. When scanning from the

screen, be sure to set the document magnification to a level where you can see the bar code clearly, and bars

and/or spaces are not merging.

NOTE: See Standard Default Parameters for all user preferences, hosts, symbologies, and miscellaneous

default parameters.
