Some HP scanners have added support for TWEI_BARCODETEXT2
This is ONLY valid for Twain 2.5 implementations.
We've found that HP default drivers for scanners that support it had an issue and required an update from HP
Once you have a valid TWAIN 2.5, you need to make some mods to then enable the updated barcode features:
You have an HP scanner which supports internal native BarCode recognition.
This is different from using EZTwain Barcode features in that the BarCode info is set in extendedImageInfo options
For this to even be an option, you should see TWEI_BARCODETEXT2 (or if not defined, 0x1253) as a supported ExtendedImageInfo option when querying (or in a TWISTER report on your scanner)
First though to even have a chance for this to work you must add the TWEI_BARCODETEXT2 to your EZTwain.cs (for C#, eztwain.vb for VB and so on) - you'll have to adapt per your language
find the definition section for TWEI_ items (extended info)
You should find one for
public const int TWEI_BARCODETEXT = 0x1202;
You can add
public const int TWEI_BARCODETEXT2 = 0x1253;
Once you have that and have a valid TWAIN 2.5 driver for the scanner you can try and implement the feature... it is doe via TextendedImageInfo.
Please verify the feature is supported by running TWISTER and performing a test scan. Look at the results for ExtendedImageInfo (search for TWEI_ prefix)
You're looking to see if TWEI_BARCODETEXT2 or 0x1253 is showing
If so, then you can attempt to enable
In code, after opening the scanner but before acquire add a call to
EZtwainSetCapability(ICAP_BARCODEDETECTIONENABLED, 1);
Then, below that add
EZtwainEnableExtendedInfo(TWEI_PAGENUMBER, 1);
EZtwainEnableExtendedInfo(TWEI_FRAMENUMBER, 1)
;
EZtwainEnableExtendedInfo(TWEI_BARCODECOUNT, 1)
;
EZtwainEnableExtendedInfo(TWEI_BARCODETYPE, 1)
;
EZtwainEnableExtendedInfo(TWEI_BARCODETEXT, 1);
EZtwainEnableExtendedInfo(TWEI_BARCODETEXT2, 1);
Now, in your code for handling the acquire, in your loop, once you have the HDIB you can add a check on the values
int pageNum = EZtwain.ExtendedInfoInt(TWEI_PAGENUMBER, 0);
int frameNum = EZtwain.ExtendedInfoInt(TWEI_FRAMENUMBER, 0);
int barCount = EZtwain.ExtendedInfoInt(TWEI_BARCODECOUNT, 0);
string barcodeType = EZtwain.ExtendedInfoString(TWEI_BARCODETYPE, 0);
string barcodeText = EZtwain.ExtendedInfoString(TWEI_BARCODETEXT, 0);
string barcodeText2 = EZtwain.ExtendedInfoString(TWEI_BARCODETEXT2, 0);
