Chapter 16 Driver’s License Set Up (DS6878-DL)IntroductionThe DS6878-DL digital scanner is capable of parsing out information from standard US driver's licenses and certain other American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) compliant ID cards. Parsing can be achieved in one of two ways: •Internally embedded algorithms - scanning bar codes activates algorithms internally embedded in the digital scanner to produce formatted data. Use the formatted data for age verification, credit card application information, and more.•Server based parsing algorithms - the digital scanner recognizes the same ID cards but encrypts the content and sends this to a host side application. The host side application uses Motorola's server based parsing algorithms, provided as a .DLL, to produce formatted data.This chapter describes how to program the Symbol DS6878-DL digital scanner to read and use the data contained in the 2D bar codes on US driver's licenses and AAMVA compliant ID cards.
16 - 2 Symbol DS6878 Product Reference GuideDriver’s License ParsingThere are three options available for programming the digital scanner:•No driver's license parsing (default) - disables the feature.•Embedded driver's license parsing - this does not require Motorola software (.DLL).Scan the bar codes on the following pages in the order indicating the sequence of data fields that the digital scanner outputs. See Parsing Driver’s License Data Fields (Embedded Driver's License Parsing) on page 16-3 for more information.As jurisdictional updates become available, Motorola updates a series of bar codes on the Motorola Web site: http//www.motorola.com/enterprisemobility/support.These bar codes contain embedded software. Scanning these in conjunction with the bar codes on page 16-4 download jurisdictional software updates to the digital scanner. The updates reside in the digital scanner's Flash memory and apply when the digital scanner is next used. •Server based driver's license parsing - this requires Motorola software (.DLL).The digital scanner recognizes the same ID cards, encrypts the content, and sends it to a host side application that can use Motorola's server based parsing algorithms. Download/install the software from the Motorola Web site at: http//www.motorola.com/enterprisemobility/support.When the Motorola .DLL installs on the host server along with a custom driver's license application, the Symbol DS6878 digital scanner can read 2D bar codes on standard US driver's licenses and AAMVA compliant ID cards to produce formatted data. Use this data for age verification, credit card application information, and more.The Motorola driver's license Software Developer Kit (SDK), available on the Motorola Web site at http//www.motorola.com/enterprisemobility/support, provides scanner software, sample code, a demo application, and Help to develop the application necessary to generate formatted driver's license information.As jurisdictional updates become available, Motorola updates the .DLL on the Motorola Web site.Scan the appropriate bar code below to program the digital scanner.*No Driver’s License ParsingEmbedded Driver’s License ParsingServer Based Driver’s License Parsing
Driver’s License Set Up (DS6878-DL) 16 - 3Parsing Driver’s License Data Fields (Embedded Driver's License Parsing)To begin programming a parsing rule:1. Scan Begin New Driver’s License Parse Rule on page 16-4. 2. Scan any of the field bar codes on the following pages, or Send Keystroke (Control Characters and Keyboard Characters) on page 16-24 to complete the parsing rule.3. After entering the entire rule, scan Save Driver’s License Parse Rule on page 16-4 to save the rule.To abort the programming sequence at any time during programming, scan Quit Entering Driver’s License Rule on page 16-4. Any previously saved rule is retained.To erase a programmed saved rule, scan Erase Driver’s License Parse Rules on page 16-4.Embedded Driver's License Parsing Criteria - Code TypeAfter specifying the fields and their order for the parsed driver's license, you can also apply standard ADF rules to the parsed data using the Parsed Driver’s License criterion bar code in the Advanced Data Formatting Programmer Guide.See Embedded Driver's License Parsing ADF Example on page 16-21 for a sample ADF rule using this code type criterion.NOTE Only ONE driver’s license parsing rule may be stored in memory at any time. Saving a new rule replaces the prior rule.NOTE Only create standard ADF rules on parsed driver's license data when configured for Embedded Driver's License Parsing.

Driver’s License Set Up (DS6878-DL) 16 - 5Driver’s License Parse Field Bar Codes (continued)The parse fields currently supported begin below. Not all IDs present data in the same format. For example, some IDs may have separate fields for first name, last name, and middle initial, and others may have a single field with the entire name. In addition, some IDs may expire on the subject's birth date and the actual expiration date field may only indicate the year. In order to present data in a consistent format, the following nine bar codes return data that may be calculated from the actual data contained within the ID bar code.First NameMiddle Name/InitialLast NameName SuffixName PrefixExpiration DateBirth Date

GlossaryAAperture. The opening in an optical system defined by a lens or baffle that establishes the field of view.ASCII. American Standard Code for Information Interchange. A 7 bit-plus-parity code representing 128 letters, numerals, punctuation marks and control characters. It is a standard data transmission code in the U.S.Autodiscrimination. The ability of an interface controller to determine the code type of a scanned bar code. After this determination is made, the information content is decoded.BBar. The dark element in a printed bar code symbol.Bar Code. A pattern of variable-width bars and spaces which represents numeric or alphanumeric data in machine-readable form. The general format of a bar code symbol consists of a leading margin, start character, data or message character, check character (if any), stop character, and trailing margin. Within this framework, each recognizable symbology uses its own unique format. See Symbology.Bar Code Density. The number of characters represented per unit of measurement (e.g., characters per inch).Bar Height. The dimension of a bar measured perpendicular to the bar width.Bar Width. Thickness of a bar measured from the edge closest to the symbol start character to the trailing edge of the same bar.Bit. Binary digit. One bit is the basic unit of binary information. Generally, eight consecutive bits compose one byte of data. The pattern of 0 and 1 values within the byte determines its meaning.Bits per Second (bps). Bits transmitted or received.Bluetooth.

Intercharacter Gap. The space between two adjacent bar code characters in a discrete code.Interleaved 2 of 5. A binary bar code symbology representing character pairs in groups of five bars and five interleaved spaces. Interleaving provides for greater information density.
