Bar code header information

If the Bar Code Accessory is installed and enabled and a bar code is detected on the document, the decoded information is included in the image header.

Bar code information can contain a maximum of 106 ASCII characters:

∙80 characters of actual data

∙9 delimiters

∙a colon

∙14 bytes of image address information

∙a line feed

∙a null terminator

Samples:

<Bar Code>:<IA><line feed><null>

<Bar Code 1>;<Bar Code 2>;<Bar Code 3>:<IA><line feed><null>

When using bar code, some situations may require evaluation of Image Header data and, perhaps, manual cleanup of the information contained in the header:

∙During normal bar code reading , if a bar code is not decoded properly (i.e., not recognized or only a portion of the code is recognized), the bar code data will not appear in the image header. For example, if there are two bar codes on a document and only the second bar code is read and decoded properly, only the data contained in the second bar code will appear in the image header (making it appear as though only one bar code was placed on the document).

∙During partial bar code reading , if a bar code is not decoded (i.e., not recognized or only a portion of the code is recognized), a question mark may appear in the image header. For example, if the start character followed by the minimum number of characters is readable, the image header will contain bar code information (corresponding to what has been successfully read and decoded) followed by a semi- colon (;) and a question mark (?).

∙During reading of multiple bar codes , duplicate bar code information may be placed in the header.

Image Deskew Flag

If the image was successfully skew corrected, this flag is set to 1 otherwise this flag is set to 0. This requires the Image Manager.

Skew Angle

The scanner will report the detected skew angle from 0 to 44 degrees independent of whether the image was skew corrected. This requires the Image Manager.
