Testing Ocr Zones; Using Separations When Color Scanning - Kodak 8383697 - Capture Pro Software User Manual

Testing OCR zones

Using separators
when color scanning
6-32
When you define a new OCR zone from an image, Kodak Capture Pro
Software automatically checks your zone to verify that it is readable. However,
if you edit the OCR zone or change its properties later, it may no longer be
readable. You can manually test your OCR zones to verify they are still
readable.
1. Select File>Job Setup. The Job Setup dialog box will be displayed.
2. Select a job setup from the Job Name drop-down list and open the Capture
tab.
3. Select Separation>By OCR Zones. The OCR window will be displayed.
4. Click the Test All Bar Code and OCR Zones icon to test all OCR zones or
click Test Selected Bar Code or OCR Zone to test an individual OCR
zone. The Bar Code and OCR Values dialog box will be displayed.
5. After viewing the values in this box, click OK to return to the OCR window.
6. Click OK. If you make any changes to the OCR zone settings, test them
again.
Kodak Capture Pro Software can scan color, grayscale, and black and white
images with separators (bar code zones, OCR zones or patch codes). Images
can be separated or mixed together. To separate these color/grayscale images
quickly and reliably, Capture Pro Software uses their duplicate black and white
images for reading the separators.
When scanning both color/grayscale and black and white images and the
software detects a bar code zone, patch code, or OCR zone, the software
either deletes all four page images (color front, color back, black and white
front, and black and white back) or attaches them to the new or current
document or batch. This action will be determined by the settings in the Bar
Zone Code Setup dialog box, Patch Code setup, or OCR Zone Setup dialog
box.
When you are scanning only color/grayscale images, the software reads the
duplicate black and white images. While these black and white images are
never displayed or outputted, they are used for bar code reading, patch code
reading, and OCR indexing.
