This chapter describes how to set up the scanner for OCR, 1D and 2D barcodes.
What is OCR?
OCR - Optical Character Recognition. OCR is a technology used to convert images containing written text
(i.e travel documents) into machine readable text data. OCR is used on passports, checkbooks and dollar
bills. To scan passports and travel documents, follow the steps below.
OCR is disabled by default. To enable, scan the command barcodes below.
For D760 and S760, scan 1 and 2:
1. Enable OCR-B
2. OCR-B ICAO Travel Documents
For S860, scan 1, 2 and 3:
Scan (1)Enable OCR-B, (2)OCR-B ICAO Travel Documents plus the command barcode below.
3.OCR Orientation 180 degrees clockwise.

What is a 1D barcode?
Linear, 1 dimensional barcodes are a row of parallel lines of varying thickness. The information is stored in
the widths of the bars and spaces. 1D barcodes are used in retail products.
What is a 2D barcode?
2D barcodes are a pattern of black and white blocks arranged in a square or rectangles. Two dimensional
barcodes can hold signicant amount of information and are more typically used than 1D barcodes. 2D
barcodes are used for manufacturing, warehousing, etc.
DotCode is disabled by default. To enable, scan the command barcode below.
1. Enable DotCode
For command barcodes not available in the guide, contact [email protected].
After scanning a command barcode, power off and on the scanner to make sure it’s congured.
To enhance the speed of reading, disable all symbologies and enable the desired symbology only.
Disable All Symbologies
*No beep when scanning this command barcode
Note: Most computer monitors allow scanning the barcodes directly on the screen. When scanning
from the screen, be sure to set the document magnication to a level where you can see the barcode
clearly, and bars and/or spaces are not merging.
PROGRAMMING

Make sure the scanner is not connected to a host computer or device before scanning a command
barcode.
To enable or disable OCR-A, scan one of the following barcodes.

OCR-A Variant
Font variant sets a processing algorithm and default character subset for the given font. To choose a
variant, scan one of the following barcodes. Selecting the most appropriate font variant optimizes
performance and accuracy.
Note: Enable OCR-A before setting this parameter. If disabling OCR-A, set the variant to its default
(OCR-A Full ASCII).

accuracy. For the best performance in travel document reading, x the target document and the decoder
in place of 7-9 inches (18-23 centimeters).
Note: Enable OCR-B before setting this parameter. If disabling OCR-B, set the variant to its default
(OCR-B Full ASCII).
