Basic OCR Characteristics
OCR-A, OCR-B and MICR are the most widely used OCR fonts in a variety of industries. In OCR, there is little redundant information in
a character; all of an OCR character must be present to allow recognition. ANSI standards also apply. OCR templates are exible and
can be con gured quickly within software such as Microscan’s ESP®.
