typeface.
Introduction
The 147X will read the following fonts:
• OCR-A
• OCR-B
• U.S. Currency Serial Number (Money)
• OCR-B
• U.S. Currency Serial Number (Money)
You can either select an OCR default or create your own custom template for the type
of OCR format you intend to read. See “OCR” later in this chapter for programming
codes that will enable your imager to read OCR-A, OCR-B, or U.S. Currency fonts. See
“Creating OCR Templates” if you want to create a custom “template” or character
string that defines the length and content of OCR strings that will be read with your
imager.

The Visual Menu screens in this chapter may look different from the screens on
your PC. Visual Menu only displays the settings that your imager supports.
OCR
Default All OCR Settings turns off all OCR capability in the imager, so the imager will
be able to scan linear, stacked, matrix, and composite bar codes, but not OCR fonts. In
addition, any OCR templates you have created are erased. The 8 digit default templates
are reinstated for any future use of the OCR On mode.
