Note
The fewer barcode types are selected, the faster the plug-in 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 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 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 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. TheBarcode Scan taskcharacter 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 foundin place of any non-
