US federal
government, there are 2 sub sets for Optical Character
Recognition : OCR-A and OCR-B.
ANSI INCITS 17-1981 (R2000), formerly known as ANSI X3.17-1981
(R2000), specifies the shapes and dimensions of OCRA.
ANSI X3.49-1975 (R1982) describes nominal shapes, sizes, and
printing positions of OCR-B. Most part of OCRB is identical to
what is defined by ECMA-11.
Both OCR-A and OCR-B character sets can be printed in three
different sizes (I, III and IV) in order to provide for their
use with a wide rane of printing devices. Eash size is
differentiated by its unique scale factor and stroke width.
The choice of sizes for OCR-B application is basically based
on requirements for the following printing device:
Size I is used for typewriters and printers.
Size III is used by cash registers and accounting machines.
Size IV is usded by credit card imprinters.
Barcodesoft OCR font package contains the following font
files: OCRA I, OCRA III, OCRA IV, OCRB I, OCRB II and OCRB IV. |
