Bitonal Image Cleanup
All Barcode Xpress editions include ScanFix Xpress Lite (Read the description of ScanFix Xpress Lite v5 features) for bitonal image cleanup technology such as deskew, despeckle, rotate, mirror, flip and more. These features improve recognition of poor quality barcodes.

Image Input, Image Output, and Image Handling
Provided through the included ImagXpress Standard .NET component and ActiveX/COM control
Features include TWAIN scanning, file conversion, image input, and image output.

Edition Descriptions
Barcode Xpress Standard is designed for developers deploying a low-speed scanning solution, such as a flat bed TWAIN scanner, or a lighter volume sheet-fed scan solution. Barcode Xpress Standard is speed-limited to read approximately 4 barcodes per second. This version is intended for low-volume barcode applications. Please note: Only the Professional and Professional + 2D Write editions support 2D barcodes.

Barcode Xpress Professional is the unlimited-speed barcode engine. It will read as fast as the processor can handle and significantly faster than the Standard Edition’s 4 barcodes per second. It is engineered for high-end, high-volume imaging applications where speed is critical for the success of the application. Barcode Xpress Professional supports 1D recognition and writing, and 2D recognition. It supports both Standard and Professional recognition speeds, allowing integrators to deploy either speed and price option. Please note: Only the Professional and Professional + 2D Write editions support 2D barcodes.

Barcode Xpress Professional + 2D Write contains the same features of Professional PLUS DataMatrix and PDF417 barcode writing.
