Processing
The task reads the image and detects the presence of the selected supported barcode types. When a barcode is detected, the
data it contains is read and added to the Data Page level of the metadata.
This task does not recognize more than one level of the metadata Document. This means that if you are intending to
define separate documents, you should use the Metadata Level Creation task after the Barcode Scan.
Output
This task outputs the original data file but with modified (or created)metadata. The format should be the same as the input.
Supported Barcode Types
The following types of barcodes are supported:
Barcode
types
Description
EAN13 EAN13 symbology. Used with consumer products internationally, 13 characters.
EAN8 EAN8 symbology. Short version of EAN-13, 8 characters.
UPCA UPCA symbology. Used with consumer products in U.S., 12 characters.
UPCE UPCE symbology. Short version of UPC symbol, 6 characters.
Code11 Code 11 symbology. Used to identify telecommunications equipment
Code39 Code 39 symbology. U.S. Government and military use, required for DoD applications
Code93 Code 93 symbology. Compressed form of Code 39.
Code128 Code128 symbology. Very dense code, used extensively worldwide.
Codabar Codabar symbology. Used in libraries and blood banks.
Inter2of5 Interleaved 2 of 5 symbology. Used in warehouse, industrial applications.
Add2 2 additional digits code for UPC-based symbologies. Used to indicate magazines and newspaper issue numbers.
Add5 5 additional digits code for UPC-based symbologies. Used to mark suggested retail price of books.
PDF417 Portable Data File is a 2-dimensional barcode (also known as matrix code) used in a variety of applications, includ-
ing Transport, Identification cards, and Inventory management. It is best suited for cases where information
needs to move with an item or document.
DataMatrix DataMatrix is a two-dimensional barcode which can store from 1 to about 2,000 characters. DataMatrix is being
used to encode product and serial number information on electrical rating plates; to mark of surgical instruments
in Japan; to identify lenses, circuit boards, and other items during manufacturing.
QRCode The QR Code (Quick Response Code) is a 2-dimensional matrix code. It can encode up to 2509 numeric or 1520
alphanumeric characters.
PostNet PostNet symbology. Used by the United States Postal Service to assist in directing mail.
RM4SCC RM4SCC symbology. Used by the Royal Mail.
The fewer barcode types are selected, the faster the plug-in performs. Selecting only the expected barcodes is there-
fore a good practice.
Barcode Orientations
Barcode orientations represent a barcode orientation on an image. For example,when the left-to-right optionis checked, the
task will try to read the barcode value assuming that the barcode data should be read in a left-to-right fashion.
The fewer orientations are selected, the faster the task performs.
