Click the left mouse button and drag the cursor until a rectangle is drawn around the area of the barcode. The barcode will be enclosed in a red box. Tip Leave at least a 1/4-inch of space around a barcode to guarantee that the full barcode will always fall within the zone. Move the zone around the barcode until the highest confidence rate is achieved (see: Project setup, Scanning, Barcode/OCR, Testing barcodes and OCR zones. ) 62 IRISPowerscanTM ­ User Guide Note Barcode zones are project-specific; not image-specific. Therefore, displaying a new image will continue to display the zones as defined. · Define the barcode properties in the Barcode Zone Properties window. See: Project setup, Scanning, Barcode/OCR, Setting the barcode properties. · Once the barcode has been properly defined on the template image, you can test it. See: Project setup, Scanning, Barcode/OCR, Testing barcodes and OCR zones. Modifying the barcode zone You can always modify the barcode zone.

If your project already contains template zones, these will directly appear on screen. What to do with the default template OCR zones?The template project that you have chosen when starting your project (see: Starting up, Creating a project) is provided with template images and default template zones. Before defining new OCR zones, check whether the template zones can be useful to you: check their location and properties. You may wish to simply modify them rather then start creating new zones from scratch. You can for example use a template OCR zone and change any of its properties, etc. (see: Project setup, Scanning, Barcode/OCR, Setting the OCR zone properties). !Caution If you decide not to use the default template OCR zones, delete them. · To create a new OCR zone, select the template image to be used for the definition of the OCR zone in the Image field (down arrow to access the drop-down list). · Click on the OCR button at the top of the window. 64 IRISPowerscanTM ­ User Guide · Place your cursor at the top left corner of the OCR zone. Click the left mouse button and drag the cursor until a rectangle is drawn around the OCR zone. The barcode will be enclosed in a green box. Tip: For variable length and height, make sure that you draw the zone large enough to capture all the data. At the same time, be careful not to draw the zone too large so that stray data (e. g. : lines on a form) can accidentally be captured. · Define the OCR zone properties in the OCR Zone Properties window. [. . . ] · Once you're happy with your adjustments, click Apply to apply the defined image adjustments on the selected images. To save a specific image adjustment model: - In the Image Processing window, General tab, click Save As. - Give your model a name in the Name field and click OK to confirm. 162 IRISPowerscanTM ­ User Guide (RE)ORGANIZING IMAGES (Re)organizing images The scanned images can be easily (re)organized from the Batches pane.
