OCR PROGRAMMING

INTRODUCTION

The Controller board EEPROM of the OCR contains the programmed Personality Data (PD) of the
specific OCR unit. The PD file determines the functionality of the OCR and it can be created and / or
modified by using the OCR programming software.

2. Plug the other end of the serial cable into the serial port of the PC.
3. Follow the Programming Instructions as described in the next paragraphs.
4. Exit the programming software and only then unplug the serial cable from the OCR.

INSTALLING THE PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE

The programming software can be run either from Windows or MS DOS. Copy the files from the
Futurecom supplied disk into a separate directory / folder on your PC. Create a shortcut (Windows)
or use the supplied batch file by typing in the path to the .exe file location on the specific PC. Run the
programming software by clicking on the shortcut or typing the batch file name.
