IMAGETEAM™ 2020/4620 System Manual 9 - 5
Creating an OCR Template
A single template allows you to program the imager to read any combination of
characters in the order you specify. Refer to examples that follow the Template
Characters table below.
Template Characters
Note: OCR templates default to eight digits, no check character.
To Add an OCR Template
1. Turn on the OCR font you want to read ( page 9-2 ).
2. Begin building the template.
Scan the Enter OCR Template symbol ( page 9-14 ).
3. Scan the characters for the string.
Use the Template Characters chart above to determine what characters you
need to create your format. Use the
OCR Programming Chart (after the
Sample Codes in the back of this manual) to scan the characters for your
template.
Example: You need to read any combination of eight digits. The template would
be:
dddddddd
a represents any alphanumeric character (digit or letter)
c represents a check character position
d represents any digit
e represents any available OCR character
g represents character from user-defined variable “g”
h represents character from user-defined variable “h”
l represents any uppercase letter
t marks the start of a new template
r multi row indicator
All other characters represent themselves. Spaces can be used.
Note: In MICR E13 B templates, TOAD characters (capital letters T, O, A, and D),
represent Transit, On Us, Amount, and Dash.
