  • About Our OCR-A & OCR-B Fonts:
    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 OCR fonts in several formats that support all of these implementations. Features of our package include:

  • Created from ANSI and ISO Specs - The OCR-A and OCR-B fonts are special fonts that are used for optical character recognition systems and both include the Euro character. The OCR-A and OCR-B character sets contain upper case and lower case letters, numbers, and several special characters. The OCR-A font was created from ANSI X3.17-1981(R2002) and ISO 1073/11 specifications and the OCR-B font characters was created from ANSI X3.49-1982(R2002) and ISO 1073/1 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, 3 and 4 - multiple sizes of each font are provided for various applications. These sizes are usually represented as roman numerals I, III and IV. The size I fonts are IDAutomationOCRa and IDAutomationOCRb.
  • USPS Mail - our IDAutomationOCRa font at 9 points is being used to print OCR readable mail in the US.
  • Norwegian Bank Checks - when printing the IDAutomationOCRb font with the point size of 9, this font conforms to the ISO specification size I. The OCR-B font at 9 points has been accepted by BBS (Norwegian banks payment centre) for use on bank checks in Norway. OCR A1 EUROBANKING and German Bank Checks - this OCR-A font includes special symbols such as the Chair, Fork, Hook and Euro for printing bank cheques in Europe. The IDAutomationOCRa size 1 font (cheque schriften) should be used to print German bank checks.
  • OCR B1 EUROBANKING - our IDAutomationOCRb font at point size 9 and supports the character set of the OCR-B1 Eurobanking standard. This standard includes the numbers 0 - 9, some uppercase letters and a range of special characters (< > + - / # * | . , "). Our IDAutomationOCRb font meets the specifications for the ECMA-11 norm and can be used on accept giro forms. Our OCR B font includes the Euro symbol.
  • Full Embedding Support - the embedding support of our fonts enables them to be encoded / embedded in special PDF document applications such as Adobe Writer, Distiller, PDF Lib and FOP TTF Reader. This level of embedding also supports creation of custom OpenType and TrueDoc fonts for webpages. More about internet fonts...
  • Adjustable Spacing - to fine tune the spacing of characters to match your printer, change the point size. For example, setting the IDAutomationOCRa font to 9.10 points will allow it to print slightly wider on your printer
