This plugin only needs to be configured once per batch class.<\/p>\n To navigate to the plugin:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Figure 1. Reader Plugin Configuration<\/em><\/p>\n Configure the plugin. The following are the configurable properties for this plugin.<\/p>\n Ephesoft Transact will filter out barcode results that have a confidence value less than this specified threshold.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Windows<\/strong><\/p>\n Linux<\/strong><\/p>\n Ephesoft Transact will attempt classification using the engine that is listed as first priority. If Transact can not classify the document using the first Barcode Method that is listed, then Transact will proceed down the list until extraction is successful. Once a barcode is extracted, other engines with lower priorities are ignored.<\/p>\n Note<\/strong>: You can delete a barcode engine by right-clicking the name and selecting Delete<\/strong>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Note<\/strong>: Performance and accuracy will increase if a smaller region is specified.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n \u2020<\/span>This option is available for 2020.1.06 and above.<\/span><\/p>\n Note<\/strong>: In Ephesoft Transact 2019.1 and below, using the RecoStar engine has a limitation in which the RecoStar plugin thread only allows the usage of one license. The limitation of one thread applies when there is a license for up to 8 cores, which may cause slow processing when using the Page Process module. This does not affect Ephesoft Transact 2019.2 and above.<\/p>\n You can test the plugin configuration in the Plugin Configuration<\/strong> screen.<\/p>\n Note: <\/strong>If you receive the message \u201cNo Results found for Barcode Extraction\u201d, you may need to lower the Barcode Confidence<\/strong>, or select a different Barcode Type<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":31858,"menu_order":9,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","doc_tag":[],"yoast_head":"\n<\/a>Overview<\/h2>\n
