Turn On Replacement Characters for Barcodes

Please refer to the Wiki Documentation for the complete Bar Code Recognition reference.

With OCR processing certain characters will read incorrectly in some cases, such as an I reading as a 1 and an O reading as a 0. If this is expected to happen you can set the OCR to use the character replacement feature to replace all instances of the letter O with the number 0.

Barcodes don’t have this issue nearly as much during the recognition process as OCR does, but sometimes it can be beneficial to have this replacement option available for the barcodes as well. This is turned off by default, but can be turned on in the Job Configuration’s XML text.

Instructions for enabling replacement characters in barcodes:

  1. Right click on the Job Configuration file that you would like to suppress the prompt on and select Open With>Notepad
  2. Search the XML settings text open in Notepad for this term:
    <BARCODE_REPLACE_CHARS>
  3. Set the value between from “False” to “True”. It should look like this:
    <BARCODE_REPLACE_CHARS>True</BARCODE_REPLACE_CHARS>
  4. Save and close the file.
