Product Features

General Features

  • Barcode generation
  • Barcode recognition
  • Symbology specification (60+ symbologies: 1D, 2D, and postal types)
  • Managing barcode appearance-related parameters
  • Image rotation
  • Encoding and decoding non-English characters in 2D types
  • Customizing recognition engine variables
  • Saving to or loading from a stream or a file
  • Label printing
  • Working with complex barcodes (e.g. Swiss QR Code)

Barcode Recognition

  • Reading 1D and 2D barcodes at any angle from an image
  • Supporting popular image formats: JPEG, TIFF, PNG, BMP, and GIF
  • Reading images with resolution from 75 to 600 dpi
  • Reading highly blurred or noised images
  • Specifying image areas to scan barcodes
  • Predefining target barcode types
  • Managing recognition engine variables to reach the best trade-off between reading speed and quality (both manually and through embedded presets). For example, the following cases can be allowed for recognition: color barcodes on color background, dashed industrial Datamatrix barcodes, decreased images, damaged barcodes with incorrect text, damaged QR/MicroQR barcodes, and others
  • Detecting and then reading all barcodes presented in the scanned region
  • Reading barcodes of different 1D symbologies from a single scanned region
  • Defining the angle and region information for all barcodes recognized in an image (using points, quadrangle, or rectangle to specify a bounding barcode region)
  • Performing checksum validation for 1D and postal barcodes
  • Increasing the barcode detection speed through multi-threading
  • Scanning from multi-page TIFF through System.Drawing

Barcode Generation

  • Generating barcode labels according to required settings
  • Providing a wide range of options to customize barcode image appearance (size, resolution, height, background color, bar color, rotation angle, X-dimension, image quality, captions, wide-to-narrow-ratio, and others)
  • Saving barcode labels in various image formats: JPEG, TIFF, PNG, BMP, GIF, EMF, and SVG
  • Customizing the barcode encoding type and parameters
  • Supporting checksum addition (for 1D barcodes) and supplement data
  • Supporting X- and Y-dimensions for 2D barcodes
  • Customizing a wide-to-narrow ratio for the supported symbologies to improve recognition precision
  • Setting an encoding type for 2D barcodes: Error Checking and Correcting (ECC) or Extended Channel Interpretation (ECI)
  • Providing visual components for barcode generation in WinForms and WPF (e.g. supporting WYSIWYG editing through GUI-based controls)
  • Encoding DataMatrix barcodes through X12, EDIFACT, and Base 256

Barcode Imaging

  • Customizing barcode image borders, border color, style, margins, and width
  • Customizing barcode image color, background color, and bar color
  • Customizing bar height
  • Customizing barcode caption and its font, background/foreground colors, alignment, and location
  • Rotating barcode images to any degree
  • Setting the required quality and resolution setting for barcode images to be generated
  • Anti-aliasing for barcode images
  • Selecting size units (inches or millimeters)
  • Auto-sizing of barcode images
  • Rendering barcode images on any device
