Barcode Scan
The Barcode Scan task is used to convert barcode data from multiple image formats into text-readable
information. This information is placed in the Metadata and can be used by the rest of the process.
Input
Image formats supported by the Barcode Scan task are:
l
Tag Image File Format (TIFF)
l
Portable Document Format (PDF)
l
Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG and JPG)
l
Portable Network Graphics (PNG)
l
Bitmap (BMP)
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.
Note: 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.
