Modify a zone for an A2iA Zone Locator

The A2iA Zone Locator is now deprecated and no longer supported. However, if you have used an A2iA Zone Locator in a previous release, it is possible to continue to use these locators at your own risk. The A2iA Zone Locator and the Check and Cursive Recognition engine remain for reference purposes only and are not meant for use in production.

Alternatively, you can migrate these locators to a supported locator method. To use or migrate an A2iA Zone Locator it is necessary to install the Check and Cursive Recognition Add-On.

See the Kofax Transformation Modules Installation Guide for more information on installing the Check and Cursive Recognition Add-On.

When you migrate an A2iA Zone Locator, the following behavior occurs:

If an A2iA Zone Locator is configured to use the CheckReader functionality, then it is migrated to a Check Locator.
If an A2iA Zone Locator is configured to use the FieldReader functionality, it is migrated to an Advanced Zone Locator that uses the FormXtra recognition engine . If a single A2iA Zone Locator has multiple zones then multiple FormXtra zone profiles are created, one for each zone. This enables you to configure unique settings for each zone.

If the extraction of a zone for an A2iA Zone Locator is not performing as expected, you can make changes to it to improve your results by following these steps:

Open the locator properties.
Click the Zones tab.
Select the zone to be modified.
Click in the field you want to change:
- To rename a zone, click the Name field and type a new name.
  
  Alternatively, click Rename. The Name field is selected, and you can type a new name.
- To select the page that contains the zone, click Page.
- To enable or disable background removal for a zone, make sure FieldReader is selected as the A2iA Reader and select the setting from the Background Removal field.
Click Close to close the locator properties window.
Save the changes to your project.
