Bar Code Read Results dialog

This dialog appears after you select Test Bar Code in the Define Bar Code dialog and scan a sheet. It tests both whether you define a software bar code correctly in your application and whether or not the bar code on your form is being decoded properly.

Image clip

The image clip of the decoded software bar code appears. The area of the bar code outlined in red is the actual area decoded. If necessary, the clip is scaled to fit the window.

Bar code type

The type of bar code decoded is identified. This includes Code 39, Code 128, Code 25, Codabar, UPC/EAN, and PDF417.

If you are not sure of bar code type when you are defining the bar code, you can you use this feature to find out. If desired, this enables you to just select the specific bar code type you expect to read with your application.

Bar code text

The decoded bar code data is shown. If the bar code is unreadable, an asterisk (*) appears. For PDF417 format, the text may be truncated if there is a large number of characters. If part of the text appears, all is assumed to be decoded correctly.

Orientation

The decoded bar code orientation is identified. This includes Horizontal, Vertical, and Angled.

If you are not sure of bar code orientation when you are defining the bar code, you can you use this feature to find out. If desired, this enables you to just select the specific bar code orientation you expect to read with your application.
