Introduction

The DS9808-DL and DS9808-LL 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.
Parsing can be achieved in one of two ways:
•
Internally embedded algorithms - 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.
•
Server based parsing algorithms - the digital scanner recognizes the same ID cards but encrypts the content
and sends this to a host side application. The host side application uses Motorola's server based parsing
algorithms, provided as a .DLL, to produce formatted data.
This chapter describes how to program the Symbol DS9808-DL/LL digital scanner to read and use the data
contained in the 2D bar codes on US driver's licenses and AAMVA compliant ID cards.
