Extract face image to file

The face image rectangle is extracted from the ID image and saved to a file. The face

image is saved under the ID image name with the .Face extension (e.g. if the card

image name is c:/images/ID-1.bmp, the face image is saved as c:/images/ID-1-

Face.bmp). To find out more about file naming methods, see the Image manual save

and Image auto-save sections on page

14. The saved face image has the same

properties as the ID card image (color scheme, resolution and file type).

To activate this feature, check the checkbox titled Extract face image to file.

Extract signature image to file

The signature image rectangle is extracted from the ID image and saved to a file. The

signature image is saved under the ID image name with the Sig extension, e.g. if the

card image name is c:/images/ID-1.bmp, the signature image is saved as

c:/images/ID-1-Sig.bmp). The saved signature image has the same properties as the

ID card image (color scheme, resolution and file type).

To activate this feature, check the checkbox titled Extract signature image to file.

Note: The signature extraction feature is currently not supported by all the states. Appendix

A shows the states that support signature extraction.

Using the signature extraction feature in documents of states that do not support it

yields no result.

Export id data to web

If you select this option, the scanned card data is exported automatically to a

predefined web address, according to the settings in the data.txt file, located in the

application (.exe file) directory.

Extract ID data to a file

The textual data is extracted from the ID image and saved to a user-selected text file.

The data is organized in fields in a constant order separated by a unique character.

The field separating character can be any of the following:

• Comma character “,” (default).

• Tab character.

• Custom-defined character: any single character from the keyboard.

Each ID scan (record) is organized in a single line. Each record has the following

organizational order:

ID number, License number, Name, Address, City, State, Zip, Issue date, Expiry date,

Birth date, Sex, License class, Social security, ID image file name, First name, Middle

name, Last name, Name suffix, Scan time, Scan date, Text line1, Text line2, Text

line3.
