OCR User-Defined Variables
You can create up to two of your own user variables for an OCR template. These
variables will represent any OCR readable characters. The user-defined

the same steps as creating a template, but instead of scanning the Enter OCR
Template symbol, you scan the Enter User-Defined Variable symbol

variable you specified.
Example: You need a variable to represent the letters "A," "B," or "C." The
template for this variable would be:
To create this template, you would enable the OCR-A font. Scan the Enter

program the following template:
