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:

0123456789X

Also enter the OCR template: dddddddc

Enable the OCR-A font, then scan the following string:

The imager performs the following check character computation:

(6 + 5 + 1 + 2 +3 + 5 + 1 + X) modulo 11 = 0

Since the result is zero, the message is considered to be valid, so

the reader outputs the message: 6512351
