Barcode Recognition

• Introduction

  Icon

  
  
  The barcode recognition reads barcodes from captured images. The barcode value can then be used in other plugins to name files (using the automatic file namer) or separate batches of documents (using the batch separation plugin)

• 1. Multi-pass

  Change the slider to set multi-pass on / off.
  
  What Is Multi-Pass?
  When multi-pass is enabled the recognition process can be run multiple times in order to try and make barcode recognition recognize as many barcodes as possible using different settings for each pass.

• 2. Description

  Enter a text description to describe the selected pass settings.

• 3. Type

  Choose the barcode types to be recognized using the check boxes.

• 6. Error check

  Checking this option will indicate that error checking should be performed on the barcode.
  
  The barcode type selected MUST be capable of supporting error check digits

• 7. Allow missing start/stop markers (e.g. 3 of 9)

  3 of 9 barcodes use start and stop markers (an asterisk).
  
  This option enables barcodes WITHOUT the start and stop markers to be recognized. Use with caution.

• 8. Barcodes to read

• 9. Direction

  Select the direction that the barcode is read using the 4 direction box selectors.
  
  These boxes relate to the sectors left, middle and right and top, center and bottom
  
  PLEASE NOTE : The configuration shows a portrait page, but the concept is the same for a landscape page, and the position can still be chosen as required.
  
  If all sectors are un-checked then no barcodes will be recognised.

• 10. Positioning on page

  Use the 9 position selection boxes to indicate which position barcodes should be recognised from.
  
  To ignore position tick all the boxes. 
  
  The example on the right would only recognise barcodes on the bottom right of the page.
  
  PLEASE NOTE : Position is the center point of the barcode

• 11. Recognition timeout

  Enter a value (in seconds) that recognition should be attempted before timing out.
  
  Minimum = 0 (timeout disabled)
  Maximum = 30
  

• 12. On time-out proceed with

  Choose an option to be performed when a timeout occurs
  
  Nothing - Do nothing and return no barcode
  Stop - Stop the recognition process
  Display an error - Display an error to the user to say that recognition has timed out
