Barcode
types
Description
PostNet PostNet symbology. Used by the United States Postal Service to assist in directing mail.
RM4SCC RM4SCC symbology. Used by the Royal Mail.
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
option is 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 acci-
dental 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 check-
sum 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 or by 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 val-
ues on processed Datapage level if it already exists. All supported images will be con-
verted 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. The Barcode Scan task char-
acter replacement option will allow successful barcode reading of all non-printable characters in
a given barcode. The value specified in the Replace non-printable character with option will be
