Character Box
When the Define Character panel is selected, the Character Box is displayed
in red, over the image display. Position this box over the printed character
that is to be used in teaching the current character pattern. The box size can
be reduced to exclude characters or noise around the character being taught.
Placing pixels within the character pattern
The Define Character panel shows an enlarged view of the portion of the
image contained within the Character Box. Pixels in the character pattern
are shown in yellow and green, where yellow indicates a pixel that is
expected to be white, and green indicates a pixel that is expected to be black.
The Teach function automatically places green and/or yellow pixels within
the character pattern. You can manually place or remove pixels by clicking
the mouse within the displayed character pattern, at the location where the
pixel is desired. The Pixel Color options (see below) determine what color
pixel will be placed.
