Figure 9: The placing of a passport
While using the ScanShell® 1000 scanner, you can assign a specific document category
to each of the scanner buttons; see Scanner button assignment, Page 25. Once assigned,
pressing one of the scanner buttons will initiate a scan in the assigned scanning mode.
Magnetic strips
Reading magnetic strips works in much the same way. The data is extracted as soon as
you swipe a card through the magnetic reader.
Extracted text
The Extracted text can be saved in two ways:
1. Each record in its own text file.
2. Each record appended to the last record at a new line in the same text file.
Text file naming in auto save mode - Allows the user to choose between three types of
file names:
1. Ascending file name (e.g. MyData-0.txt, MyData-01.txt, MyData-02.txt…).
2. Fixed file name: Each record will be saved with the same file name, either
overwriting the previous file, or appending the new record as a new line in the
same txt file according to user definition.
3. Person’s name or ID number (as extracted from the magnetic strip): The text file
name can be saved either under the name of the person or under the ID number in
the data record.
