Barcode types

Barcodes are machine-readable codes that store information as bars (1D) or as patterns (2D, QR codes for example). Docuflair can read barcodes on scanned documents and extract information from them automatically — an invoice number or a customer number, say. Barcodes can also be printed onto the documents output.

Access

This function is available to every signed-in user. No particular permission is required.

The barcode types Docuflair supports fall into two categories:

• Classic 1D barcode types
  Barcodes where the code runs along a single axis only, so it is one-dimensional (1D codes).
• 2D barcodes
  In increasing use since the end of the 1980s. These are two-dimensional codes (2D codes), where the code runs along two axes or dimensions.
