Configuring Bar Code Discovery
Bar Code Discovery is accessed from the home screen.
Creating a bar code template
Automatic bar code discovery recognizes the most common bar code types and orientations on A4‑ or letter‑size paper.
If you are using a paper size other than A4 or letter or if the bar code is not recognized automatically, then you can
search for bar codes manually.
To search for bar codes automatically
1
Load a document containing the bar code faceup, short edge first into the automatic document feeder (ADF) or
facedown on the scanner glass.
Notes:
• Make sure the Adjust ADF Skew option is off on the scan settings.
• Make sure to position the bar codes horizontally.
2 From the home screen, touch Bar Code Discovery.
3 Touch Automatic bar code discovery.
The page is searched for bar codes. If automatic bar code discovery fails, then you can search for bar codes manually.
Note: Automatic Configuration searches for codes oriented at 0 degrees and 90 degrees.
4 Touch the bar code you want to configure, and then touch Configure.
Note: If you do not want a bar code to appear in the template, touch the bar code, and then select Ignore this
bar code.
5 Follow the on‑screen prompts to type a name for the bar code, set an optional delimiter, and assign optional field
names.
Note: Use a delimiter if the bar code contains multiple pieces of information that you want to identify
separately, such as first and last names. The delimiter is the space or character that separates two or more fields
within the bar code. If the template will be used to create files, then make sure not to use invalid characters,
such as \ / :*?”<>| for a Windows file name.
6 Repeat step 4 through step 5 for any additional bar codes that appear on the page, and then touch Next..
7 Type a name for the template, and then touch Next.
8 Confirm that the template is correct, and then touch Save.
