Scan Barcode documents

SmartCapture can process documents containing barcodes and automatically extract barcode data during scanning.

 

Barcode data, including document IDs, customer numbers, and product codes, can be captured from forms, ID tags, inventory lists, and shipping documents.

 

This guide uses the preconfigured scanner button 4 Barcode File Naming as an example.
