Chapter 14 Driver’s License Set Up
(DS6708-DL)
Introduction
The DS6708-DL digital scanner is capable of parsing out information from standard US driver's licenses and
certain other American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) compliant ID cards. Parsing can be
achieved two different ways: with internally embedded algorithms or with Motorola's server based parsing
algorithms.
•
Internally embedded algorithms - algorithms internally embedded in the digital scanner are set in motion by
scanning bar codes to produce formatted data. The formatted data can be used for age verification, credit
card application information and more.
•
Server based parsing algorithms - the digital scanner recognizes the same ID cards but encrypts the content
and sends the encrypted content to a host side application. The host side application uses Motorola's server
based parsing algorithms, provided as a .DLL, to produce formatted data.
This chapter describes how to program the Symbol DS6708-DL digital scanner to read and utilize the data
contained in the 2D bar codes on US driver's licenses and AAMVA compliant ID cards.
