Barcode Xpress™ is a powerful control which accurately reads common industry 1D and 2D barcodes, detecting them anywhere on the page, in any orientation. It also writes most 1D barcodes and some 2D barcodes.
Barcode Xpress ships with ImagXpress which provides world class image cleanup capability for use with Barcode Xpress. Configurable speed settings are available to suit various application and budget requirements.

Barcode Xpress version 12 is offered in four editions, 1D Standard, 1D Professional, 1D/2D Standard, and 1D/2D Professional. BarcodeXpress 1D/2D Professional is the default edition which has the maximum functionality available.
- Standard Editions are for deploying a moderate speed scanning solution, with up to a few barcodes per page.
- 1D Standard – It reads and writes 1D barcodes, including Postal Code, at a 40 pages per minute speed limit.
- 1D/2D Standard – It includes the 1D Standard edition capabilities, with reading of all 2D barcodes (PDF417, Data Matrix, QR code, and Aztec), along with writing of some 2D barcodes (PDF417 and Data Matrix). The recognition rate is 40 pages per minute.
- Professional Editions comprise the unlimited speed barcode engines. They are for high-end, high-volume imaging applications where speed is critical for the success of the application. They support all reading speeds, allowing integrators to sell various speed and price options. They read as fast as the processor allows.
- 1D Professional – It reads and writes 1D barcodes, including Postal Code, with unlimited processing speed.
- 1D/2D Professional – The 1D/2D Standard edition capabilities with unlimited processing speed.
Caution: When using trial (unpaid) licensing, the words " UNLICENSED accusoft.com " will appear in the middle of every Data Matrix, QR Code and PDF417 barcode created, taking up 25 bytes of space including a space before and after. When testing the contents of generated barcodes, be aware of the extra space requirements.
