OCR indexing uses the English lexicon and allows reading of alphanumeric
text at high speed (1000 characters/second). It is zonal (similar to bar code
reading) and is processed during scanning. The following text information can
be recognized:
• ligatures ("joined" characters)
• broken characters
• degraded characters
• text from 200 to 600 dpi resolution
• text fonts from 8 to 72 points
• numbers from 0-9
• letters from A-Z and a-z
• symbols ! " $ % & ( ) * + , - . / :, ; < = > ? @ [ \ ] { } £ ¥ § « »
For best results, follow these guidelines when using OCR:
• 300 dpi resolution
• 12-point sans serif font (or larger if using resolutions lower than 300 dpi)
• no skewed documents
The OCR indexing function:
• Does not support other languages than English
• Does not recognized accented characters
• Does not recognized MICR fonts like E13B or CMC7
