Overview   SkewTolerance controls the maximum angle from the horizontal or vertical at which a barcode will be recognised by the toolkit. The table below shows the possible values for this property along with the approximate maximum angles: 0 =  up to 5 degrees 1 = 13 degrees 2 = 21 degrees 3 = 29 degrees …

Overview   TifSplitMode controls the way in which multi-page TIF files are split into sub-files when the TifSplitPath property is set. A value of 0 means that the sub-files will each start on a page with a bar code (or page 1). A value of 1 means that each sub-file will terminate on a page …

Overview   TifSplitPath is the file path template for splitting multi-page TIF files into sub-files in either TIF or PDF format. The template can include the following conversion specifications:     %d replaced by a sub-file index number (starting at 1) %s replaced by the barcode found in the sub-file (modes 0 and 1) or …

Overview   When UseOverSampling is TRUE the barcode reader samples 3 lines at a time (skipping 2 lines between each sample) and takes the average pixel value. This is useful for images containing both black and white speckles. Type: BOOL Default value: FALSE
