OCR fonts are used for several purposes where automated systems need a standard character shape defined to properly scan numbers and text without the use of barcodes. Some examples of OCR implementations include bank checks, passports, serial labels and postal mail. Our OCR Font Advantage Package includes 4 versions of the OCR fonts to support all of these implementations in several versions. Features of our package include:
Created from ANSI Specs - The OCR-A and OCR-B fonts are special fonts that are used for optical character recognition systems. The OCR-A and OCR-B character sets contain upper case and lower case letters, numbers, and several special characters. The OCR-A font characters were created from ANSI X3.17-1981 specifications and the OCR-B font characters were created from ANSI X3.49-1982 specifications.
Special Symbols - are provided for purposes such as international character support. To see locations for these symbols, open the IDAutomationOCRa font in Windows® and go to the Character Map application.
ANSI Size 1 and 4 - when printing the IDAutomationOCRa font with the size of 12, this font conforms to ANSI specification size 4 which is an approximate character height of 3.8mm and a character width of 2mm.
