Appendix C
Enhanced Bar Code Engine
Introduction
Access to the Kofax Standard bar code recognition engine is provided through your
scanning application. Access to the Enhanced Bar Code features is available if you
have activated a VRS Professional Workgroup or VRS Professional Production
license, or if you have installed an Adrenaline 650i adapter.
Note The Enhanced Bar Code engine may also be licensed through the Kofax
Capture licensing scheme. For more information, refer to the Kofax Capture
documentation.
This appendix gives information on the bar code types supported, the differences
between the Standard Bar Code engine and the Enhanced Bar Code engine, and
instructions on how to switch between the two. Refer to Using the Bar Code Properties
Dialog Box on page 140 for more information.
Standard vs. Enhanced Bar Code
With the Adrenaline Image Processing Engine, the ability to capture and read bar
codes has been expanded through the application of color technology. Because color
images provide more information to assist in bar code interpretation, the enhanced
bar code reader is able to achieve more accurate readings of all supported bar code
types at low dpi levels and varying levels of quality. The enhanced bar code also has
the ability to work with grayscale images in addition to having improved bitonal
recognition capability. Another significant advancement is the support of two-
dimensional (2D) bar codes.
