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.
- [Snippets General]
- 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.
