12 - 2 Symbol DS9808 Product Reference Guide
Driver’s License Parsing
There 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 
12-3 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 
12-3 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 DS9808-DL/LL 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.
