Why is OCR not working for my MVX scanner?

Why is OCR not working for my MVX scanner?

Panini controls what options are enabled for your machine depending on what options were purchsed for that machine.  It is possible that OCR has not been enabled on this machine. 

One way to determine if your scanner has OCR enabled is to check the transportinfo.ini file located at C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Silver Bullet Technology\Ranger\[scanner model]\API Files.  If this file has an entry of OcrReaderCount=1 (or any # greater than 1) then it has OCR.

Otherwise, contact your vendor about getting this option turned on.

The driver options for snippets will over write the OCR options in the GenericOptions.ini file. Make sure that the driver options file (MVXOptions.ini) has snippets disabled.
  1. [Snippets General]
  2. NeedSnippets=false
If you need snippets and OCR then you will need to make sure you are not over writing OCR options in the GenericOptions ini file or the options you provide in the driver options file will work with the OCR area you setting up.
