Enter the minimum number of characters that are read from a bar code.

If the value read from the bar code is not at least as long as the Minimum Characters in Code, the bar code is ignored.

Enter the maximum number of bar codes that are found on a page. Once the system has found this number of bar codes on a given scanned page, it begins processing the next page.

Enter the maximum number of bar codes that are found in a row. Once the system has found this number of bar codes in a given row, it begins processing the next row.

Skew is the degree that a bar code deviates from being perfectly horizontal or vertical on the scanned page.

Select None for skewed angles up to +/- 10 degrees.

Select Light for skewed angles up to +/- 20 degrees.

Select Heavy for skewed angles up to +/- 45 degrees.

Density is the degree of darkness of the bar codes.

Select Normal if the bar code does not need to be darkened or lightened before scanning.

If the bar code is too light, select Light to prompt the scanner to exaggerate all black pixels to darken the bar code.

If the bar code is too dark, select Dark to prompt the scanner to exaggerate all light pixels to lighten the bar code.

Quality indicates how clearly the bar code is delineated.

Select Good to have the scanner make the least number of passes because the bar codes are of the highest resolution quality available.

Select Normal to have the scanner make enough passes to read a bar code of normal quality.

Select Poor to have the scanner make the most number of passes because the bar codes are of the lowest resolution quality.

The Search Direction section allows you to specify the direction the scanning engine should read the bar code.

Because bar codes are always from left to right, this allows you to configure OnBase to read vertical or horizontal right-to-left bar codes.

The bar code is oriented at zero degrees.

The bar code is oriented at ninety degrees from the zero horizontal axis.

The bar code is oriented at one hundred and eighty degrees from the zero horizontal axis.

The bar code is oriented at two hundred and seventy degrees from the zero horizontal axis.

Select Verify Checksum to validate the bar codes using an internal check digit.

Use the drop-down to select the type(s) of bar codes in use in the Bar Code Process. Click Select to add a type of bar code to the Bar Code Type list. To remove a bar code type from the list, select it and click Deselect.

Each bar code type has its own way of representing letters and numbers. Some bar code types may use similar sequences of lines in a bar code to mean different things.

For a complete list of which bar code types are supported with the Hyland Bar Code Recognition, Kofax, and Fujitsu PaperStream IP software, see the Matrix Overview.

Enter the size, in inches, of the height and width of the bars in the bar code(s) to be read. You must account for the size of all bars in all bar codes to be read.

The minimum height that can be specified is 0.015 inches. The maximum height is 1.25 inches.

The minimum width that can be specified is 0.01 inches and the maximum width is 0.05 inches.

Select the 2 to 1 Ratio check box to assist the scanner in its search for the bar codes when the wide bars in the bar code are twice as thick as the thin bars.

Select the Any Width check box to have OnBase automatically determine the width of the bars. When the Any Width option is selected, the width is automatically set to 0 and the field is disabled.
