Readiris supports most widespread 2D barcodes, both laser printed and inkjet printed.
In Readiris Corporate, barcodes can also be used to separate documents in a batch. Note that in this case the content of the barcodes is not converted into text, the barcodes are only used to do the separation.

Barcodes can be used as separators to separate documents in a document batch. Readiris can automatically look for barcode pages and mark them as cover page, indicating the beginning of a new document.
On the Settings menu click Document Separation and Indexing.
Select Detect cover pages with a barcode.
If necessary, indicate specific content Readiris should look for. For more information see the section How to separate document batches.
Note: the barcode reading results can also be included in an XML index. Select the option Generate an XML index and check the box Include text of cover pages in index.
Click OK to save the settings. Then process your documents.
