Document type export strings
The document type is specified in the exported text file with the following (exact)
strings:
 When scanning driver licenses using OCR, the last fields will contain the
string: "Driver license (ocr)"
 When scanning driver licenses using barcode, the last fields will contain the
string: "Driver license (barcode)"
 When scanning driver licenses using a magnetic reader, the last fields will
contain the string: "Driver license (mag)"
 When scanning passports using OCR, the last fields will contain the string:
"Passport (ocr)"
When scanning business cards using OCR, the last fields will contain the string:
"Business card (ocr)"
Notes:
1. If a specific field is not supported in the current state, its corresponding value
is empty.
2. ID number and License number have the same value in the US.
3. ID image file name holds the full path and name of the ID card image file.
4. First name, Middle name, Last name, Name suffix fields are generated by
parsing the Name field and not directly from the cards.
5. Text lines 1-3 are extracted only for Chile driver licenses. These data fields
are not extracted for other states or countries.
6. Address2-Address5 are extracted for United Kingdom driver licenses.
Important! This order is guaranteed to remain in this format in future versions of ScanShell.
However, this list may expand in the future to include additional fields, as more states
are supported. These new fields will be added to the end of the list.
Append records:
The records can be written to the text file in two ways:
 Appending mode: In this mode, each new record is appended to the end of
the text as a new text line. To activate this mode, check the checkbox titled
‘Append Records’.
 Single record mode: In this mode, each new record overwrites the previous
record; thus the text file always contains a single record. To activate this
mode, uncheck the box titled ‘Append Records’.
