Scan Driver License and Vehicle Registration Barcodes

THIS SECTION OF THIS DOCUMENT IS UNDER DEVELOPMENT. Coplogic™ Ethos includes a built-in barcode scanner that allows you to use your computer's camera to scan in data from a DL (driver license) or vehicle registration form. You can also use the barcode reader to upload a barcode image that resides on your computer. You can then pull the relevant data into a report to quickly populate fields with person and vehicle data.

1. With a report form open in Ethos, click the Search Data icon in the right hand side of the upper pane.

   

2. In the record search panel, click the barcode reader icon.

   

   The Ethos barcode reader opens, along with your computer's camera.
3. Next, select the option your want.

   To scan in a barcode	Hold the document you want to scan up to the camera, making sure the barcode appears in the rectangle in the middle of the barcode window. When the reader recognizes the barcode, it scans the data into Ethos.
   To upload a barcode image that resides on your computer	In the barcode reader utility, click Choose File. When Microsoft Internet Explorer opens, navigate to the file location on your computer, select the file, and then click Open to load the data into Ethos.

   Note the following: In order for the data in the record to populate the correct fields, you must be on the appropriate page in your form.

You can edit the auto-populated data if necessary by clicking in the desired field and typing in the new information.
