The CSV fields are as follows:

Hits – hit count for this barcode
Page – page number in image
Direction – ScanDirection mask value for this barcode
TopLeftX – x position for top left
TopLeftY – y position for top left
BottomRightX – x position for bottom right
BottomRightY – y position for bottom right

The XML output format contains the same information as the CSV format, but arranged in the following way:

<xml version=’1.0′ encoding=’iso-8859-1′>
<SoftekBarcode>
<Result>
<Folder>location of image file</Folder>
<FileName>name of file</FileName>
<Count>number of barcodes</Count>
<Error>error number</Error>
<ID>id as specified in an xml input file for image or folder (see ProcessXML)</ID>
Repeated for each barcode found in image
<Barcode>
<Value>value of barcode</Value>
<Type>type of barcode</Type>
<Hits>score</Hits>
<Page>page number</Page>
<Direction>ScanDirection mask value for this barcode</Direction>
<TopLeftX>x position for top left</TopLeftX>
