Barcode Locator

The following sections describe the concept of the Barcode Locator and show how to
add and set up the locator.

Concept

Some documents contain bar codes that are usually attached to a form during the
scanning process. With the Barcode Locator any bar code present on the document is
detected and decoded. The detected values can be assigned to a field. The Barcode
Locator can locate the most common bar code types automatically, even if the bar
codes are rotated. Sometimes, document quality requires making a few manual
settings.

Properties

The following sections describe how to set up the Barcode Locator . In most cases, the
default settings are sufficient. However, it can be useful to restrict bar codes to
certain types and/or lengths to avoid errors or if multiple bar codes might be present
on the document.
