Chapter 16 Driver’s License Set Up
(DS6878-DL)
Introduction
The DS6878-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. 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 DS6878-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.
16 - 2 Symbol DS6878 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
16-3 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
16-4 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 DS6878 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
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.

Parsing Driver’s License Data Fields (Embedded Driver's License Parsing)
To begin programming a parsing rule:
1. Scan Begin New Driver’s License Parse Rule on page 16-4.
2. Scan any of the field bar codes on the following pages, or Send Keystroke (Control Characters and
Keyboard Characters) on page 16-24 to complete the parsing rule.
3. After entering the entire rule, scan Save Driver’s License Parse Rule on page 16-4 to save the rule.
NOTE Only ONE driver’s license parsing rule may be stored in memory at any time. Saving a new rule replaces
the prior rule.
To abort the programming sequence at any time during programming, scan Quit Entering Driver’s License Rule on
page 16-4. Any previously saved rule is retained.
To erase a programmed saved rule, scan Erase Driver’s License Parse Rules on page 16-4.
Embedded Driver's License Parsing Criteria - Code Type
After specifying the fields and their order for the parsed driver's license, you can also apply standard ADF rules to
the parsed data using the
Guide.
NOTE Only create standard ADF rules on parsed driver's license data when configured for Embedded Driver's
License Parsing.
See Embedded Driver's License Parsing ADF Example on page 16-21 for a sample ADF rule using this code type
criterion.

Driver’s License Parse Field Bar Codes (continued)
The parse fields currently supported begin below. Not all IDs present data in the same format. For example, some IDs may
have separate fields for first name, last name, and middle initial, and others may have a single field with the entire name.
In addition, some IDs may expire on the subject's birth date and the actual expiration date field may only indicate the year.
In order to present data in a consistent format, the following nine bar codes return data that may be calculated from the
actual data contained within the ID bar code.

applying the previous ADF rule.
Field Update Procedure
Scan the following bar codes in order to perform a field update.
This update COMPLETELY REPLACES prior updates and overrides any embedded parsing software programmed
in the digital scanner.
1. Scan Field Update Start.
2.
Scan the entire set of PDF bar codes provided separately.

Field Update Start
3. Scan Field Update End.
Field Update End
Scan Erase all Field Updates to completely remove all previous updates. It is not necessary to scan this bar code
before performing a normal field update. Scanning this bar code ensures that only the parsing software currently in
the digital scanner is used for parsing.
