Note
The fewer barcode types are selected, the faster the plugin performs. Selecting only the
expected barcodes is therefore a good practice.
Barcode Orientations
Barcode orientations represent a barcode orientation on an image. For example,๎when the left-
to-right option๎is checked, the task will try to read the barcode value assuming that the barcode
data should be read in a left-to-right fashion.
Note
The fewer orientations are selected, the faster the task performs.
Settings
l
Force checksum validation: Select to define whether the checksum validation is
required for symbologies in which a checksum character is optional. The goal of
checksum is to detect accidental modification such as corruption to stored data or errors
in a barcode values. By default it is set to false. Note: If barcodes using symbologies with
optional checksum do not show the checksum and the option Force checksum validation
is checked, no barcode will be detected on the page
l
Process by: Select to define whether to process the image by page or๎by file:
l
Process by Page: The task is able to handle single or multiple page files (Tiff and
PDF) and act as a loop to process each page independently and sequentially. The
metadata file will be created separately for each page if it does not exist or will be
enhanced with the values on processed Datapage level if it already exists. All
supported images will be converted to tiff format.
l
Process by File: The task will process the file once and will insert the barcode
information in one metadata file. Metadata will be created if it does not exist or will
be enhanced with the values if it already exists.
l
Replace non-printable character with: Enter a character that will be used as a
replacement for all non-printable characters read from the barcode.๎Some barcode types
like Data Matrix can store non-printable characters that metadata does not support.
