What's New in Barcode Xpress V6.0

• 64-bit support - now available as 32/64-bit AnyCPU for .NET and as ActiveX /COM 32- and 64-bit editions
• Improved accuracy - especially for damaged barcodes
• Color barcodes - directly reads 24-bit color and 8-bit grayscale images

What's New:
SmartScan Xpress Barcode has been renamed Barcode Xpress to coincide with the release of Version 5. Pegasus have added recognition of QR Code and 3 new postal codes, improved the 1D and 2D recognition accuracy rates, and provided streaming support to integrate with Pegasus Imaging’s FormSuite components. The product has evolved with the new launch, and the name change is consistent with the product naming strategy.

New Features Include:
QR Code Recognition.
Pegasus Imaging introduces recognition support for the 2-dimensional (2D) QR Code, one of very few barcode types that support encoding of Asian Kanji and Kana characters. QR code offers up to 30% error recovery, making this barcode especially suitable for business-critical applications. 

Intelligent Mail® (formerly OneCode®) - 4-State U.S. Postal Service Barcode Recognition.
The United States Postal Service (USPS) has adopted a new 4-state barcode called Intelligent Mail (formerly OneCode) that Barcode Xpress will now recognize. It includes more address information than the current postal codes. More information about the new postal barcode can be found at the USPS Web site.

Royal Mail 4-State Customer Code (RM4SCC) – 4-State U.K. Postal Service Barcode Recognition.
Barcode Xpress will now recognize the Royal Mail 4-State Customer Code (RM4SCC), a new 4-state barcode being used in the U.K.

Australia Post - 4-State Barcode Recognition.
Recognition of the Australian variant of the 4-State Postal Code is supported by Barcode Xpress.

Improved Barcode Recognition.
Pegasus Imaging’s scientists have improved the recognition accuracy, to recognize more 1D and 2D barcodes than SmartScan Xpress v4 recognized. The barcode recognition process has been improved by extending the mathematical algorithms used for barcode detection, and extending the process used to refine and verify candidate barcodes. User configurable settings may be selected to direct some recognition behavior. When possible, check digits are used to verify recognition results. Candidate barcode regions of interest are accessible to developers who may chose to apply image cleanup processing and then apply recognition again. Specific check sum values and number of digits are also returned for barcodes supporting check sums. Confidence values are also reported for detected barcodes.

45-Degree Scanning Angle Feature.
Barcode Xpress now offers a user-configurable option to scan at a 45-degree angle in addition to earlier supported horizontal and vertical scans. This feature helps detect barcodes at high skew angles.

Streaming Support to Integrate with FormSuite Components.
Barcode Xpress now provides streaming support to integrate with FormSuite, a collection of components that performs a variety of forms processing functions, including form identification and optical character recognition (OCR). The new application programmer interface (API) allows Barcode Xpress to be more easily integrated into applications built using components in FormSuite.

Edition Change.
The Basic edition is no longer available. Chariot Support customers who previously licensed the Basic edition will be automatically upgraded to Standard, and Chariot Support customers who previously licensed the Standard edition will be automatically upgraded to Professional.

Barcode Xpress V5 Editions:

• Standard is speed-limited to 4 barcodes per second and supports reading and writing only 1D barcodes
• Professional continues to offer unlimited recognition speed, and supports both 1D and 2D barcode reading and 1D writing
• Professional + 2D Write continues to offer the same features as Professional plus 2D writing

Barcode Xpress lets you read and write 1D and 2D barcodes with tools for .NET, ActiveX, Java, and Java ME.

Easy Development; Higher ROI
With the Barcode Xpress toolkit, you can add top-quality, high-speed barcode recognition to your applications with just a few lines of code. The total cost of your barcode solution plummets.

Continuous Innovation
Accusoft Pegasus are constantly improving recognition accuracy and adding new barcode types. As you upgrade, your applications gain the advantages of the latest barcode technology with a minimum of effort.
