Honeywell/Metrologic Easy ID software and Focus Scanners
Easy ID is a great new product from Honeywell that was originally a Metrologic product that was acquired by Honeywell when it bought Metrologic. This can be purchased as a software or firmware product. Easy ID can be purchased with the FOCUS scanner line mainly the MK1690, and it is a part of the scanner.
Using the manual, or Metroset a program that comes with the unit, you can program the scannner to pull the drivers license data and put whatever delimiters in the data. Using Metroset you can create a barcode that can be scanned to setup a particular group of data to be pulled from the PD4417 barcode on the drivers license.
The important thing about reading the barcode on the license, is that only about 18 states follow a spec and not even those keep the spec 100% accurate. Herein lies the beauty of the EASY ID product, in that Honeywell keeps the spec up for most of the states. They are enough different and changing that it is a danting task to try and maintain it for a programmer or end user.
