CHAPTER 16 DRIVER’S LICENSE SET
UP (DS8178-DL)
Introduction
The DS8178-DL digital scanner is capable of parsing out information from standard US driver's licenses and
certain other American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) compliant ID cards. This is achieved
using internally embedded algorithms, where scanning bar codes activates algorithms internally embedded in the
digital scanner to produce formatted data. Use the formatted data for age verification, credit card application
information, and more.
This chapter describes how to program the DS8178-DL digital scanner to read and use the data contained in the
2D bar codes on US driver's licenses and AAMVA compliant ID cards.
