Zone OCR

The Zone OCR connector recognizes the characters in a scanned document and extracts them as text. This connector can only be added to a workflow whose [Job Processing Location] is set to [On Server].

To use the Zone OCR connector, create and register a Zone OCR form in advance.

The scan settings for the input image must match the following scan settings for the image scanned to the Zone OCR form. Otherwise, an error occurs and Zone OCR is not performed.

• Color mode

• Orientation

• Size

• Resolution

If there is a possibility that scanning cannot be performed properly, use the Image Correction connector to perform top and bottom identification as needed.

Supported formats (input data)

The following file formats are supported as input data of the Zone OCR connector.

• TIFF

• TIFF-F

• BMP

• JPEG

• PNG

• GIF

To configure the properties of the Zone OCR connector.

1. In the Delivery Flow, click the [Zone OCR] connector icon.

2. Enter a display name.

3. In [General Features], select the registration form.

4. From the [Section (1-500)] list, choose the section to perform OCR.

You can only specify one section. If the job contains more than one section, the system performs OCR only on the first page.

When performing Zone OCR for all pages of a document, first divide the document into single page files using the Image Converter connector, and then divide them into single sections using the Section Splitter connector.

5. From the [Error Processing] list, specify how to process the job when an error occurs from [Stop Processing] or [Skip Errored Process].

• [Stop Processing]: The system stops processing when an error occurs.

• [Skip Errored Process]: The system ignores the error and continues processing.

If you select [Skip Errored Process] while selecting the [Judge as an error when the OCR result is blank.] option on the Area Properties screen, the job is processed and an error log is added to both the job log and system log.

6. Click [Save] to save the workflow.
