OCR tips
You can increase the chance of successful character
recognition by taking the following precautions. Ask the
originating fax to
m send documents in High Resolution Mode—200 dpi,
sometimes called Fine resolution
m use characters between 10 and 30 points in size. OCR
interprets larger or smaller characters as graphics.
m use outline fonts or TrueType fonts instead of bitmapped
fonts
m insert the document at a right angle (vertically or
horizontally). It must have no more than a 7% slant
OCR works with Apple Fax documents only.
