Zero-PC Footprint Scanning

Link does not implicitly write scanned output or other housekeeping information to the registry or to the file system. Instead, Link hands off data and image for the current document to the solution program in memory via an application programming interface (API). Link provides programmatic access to the scanner error log and operations log.

The ability to hand off data/ OMR read levels without creating any scanned output files is exposed.

These new APIs support scanning without creating file output:

Coding Pattern

Create an instance of SessionInfo and set its DataFileOption to L_DATA_FILE_OPTION_NOFILES. Specify the application definition and optionally edit profile and/or score profile. Do not specify the data file or conversion profile.

You access scanned output via OmrBuffer (OMR read levels) and/or ScanEventArgs.Document (resolved ASCII). In a desktop process you can use data services directly because IDocument.ConnectionString is available, but in the IE scripting sandbox, you need to call Document.ExecuteQuery to obtain XML data and edit failures.

Your program saves the data as necessary. It can set ScanEventArgs.RejectDocument to true (available only at DocStacked) to indicate that the save failed. This will cause the serial number to be reused.

Applications

Additional Comments

A desktop style process has access to the ClipHelper so ad hoc clipping is still possible. However a script running in the IE sandbox has no access to any imaging service.
