OCR User-Defined Check Character
You can customize the check character calculation to suit your application. Each
character of the check character alphabet can be programmed in its proper
order. The number of characters you enter determines the modulo value for the
calculation. By default, the check character computation is unweighted, but the
imager also supports two weighted modulo 10 checking schemes.
Example: To program a modulo 11 check character, you would enter the
following 11 characters in order:
Also enter the OCR template:
Enable the OCR-A font, then scan the following string:
The imager performs the following check character computation:
Since the result is zero, the message is considered to be valid, so the reader
outputs the message: 6512351
