   Pitney Bowes Inc

8. Tap the image capture button (camera icon).
9. Tap the check mark to accept the image, the circle arrow to capture another image, or the X to cancel.

11. The OCR app has sent the address to SendPro Enterprise.

Scanning Tips

Follow these best practices for the most consistent and accurate OCR results:

• Printed addresses only
• 12 pt block font
• 0.8 or less spacing between lines
• When scanning, hold the device 6-8 inches from the target address.
• Operate the OCR in a well-lit environment free of shadows over the target address. Insufficient light can cause the camera to not focus well.
