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.
