Introduction

Barcode Director reads barcodes on pages of input documents in order to extract data, and/or to separate, organize, and route the documents.  It is the ideal document processing utility for enterprise and service bureau applications, because it can easily interface a scanning system to a workflow or archiving system, without any programming.

 

Barcode Director can:

• Rapidly separate individual documents from scanned/faxed image files.  

• Rename documents and put them into named folders based on the barcode values.  

• Deliver the barcode data as reports (CSV, Tab, or XML formats) or as separate data files

• Automatically apply adaptive image repair of poor quality barcodes in order to improve yields

• Preserve the attributes of input PDF files, including searchable text and high image quality

 

Built with the power of the ClearImage Barcode Recognition engines,  Barcode Director delivers best of breed performance to end-users and integrators.

• Quick implementation of barcode based workflow, without custom programming.  

• Command line invocation with predefined configuration files.

• Process entire folder and all subfolders of image files in one batch operation.  

• Define watch folders to process incoming image files.

• Profiles and configuration files deliver flexibility to match the needs of all document imaging systems.

 

The program functions in one of two fundamental modes:

Document mode

Separate, Sort or Rename input files based on barcode values found inside.  The output of the process is a set of output document files.   Various reports provide monitoring or workflow integration possibilities.

Reports mode

Read the input files and produce detail reports and/or files about their contents for workflow integration purposes.

Service Operation

As of Version 1.11, the Barcode Director Service Manager can activate, monitor, and deactivate multiple instances of Barcode Director as windows services.   Each instance can use a separate configuration file to run recurring tasks.  All features of Barcode Director are available in this way, but they do not require a logged in user.
