CHAPTER 14 DRIVER’S LICENSE SET UP
(DS457-DL)
Introduction
The DS457-DL imager is capable of parsing out information from standard US driver's licenses and certain
other American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) compliant ID cards. Parsing can be
achieved in one of two ways:
• Internally embedded algorithms - scanning bar codes activates algorithms internally embedded in the
imager to produce formatted data. Use the formatted data for age verification, credit card application
information, and more.
• Server based parsing algorithms - the imager recognizes the same ID cards but encrypts the content and
sends this to a host side application. The host side application uses Motorola's server based parsing
algorithms, provided as a .DLL, to produce formatted data.
This chapter describes how to program the DS457-DL imager to read and use the data contained in the 2D bar
codes on US driver's licenses and AAMVA compliant ID cards.
