Label Capture Settings

Defined under the namespace Scandit.Datacapture.Label

LabelCaptureSettings
class LabelCaptureSettings

Added in version 6.5.0

Configures label capture parameters and defines the structure of labels to be captured. This settings object is central to the Smart Label Capture workflow, specifying which label definitions to use, recognition parameters, and capture behavior.

Key configuration aspects:

  • Label definitions - Defines field types (barcodes, dates, text) and their validation rules

  • Recognition parameters - Controls scanning behavior and accuracy

  • Location selection - Specifies scanning areas and constraints

  • Symbology settings - Configures which barcode types are enabled

The settings follow a fluent builder pattern for convenient configuration and support multiple label definitions to handle different types of labels in the same scanning session. For the settings to take effect, they must be applied to a label capture instance using the appropriate apply settings method.

settingsForSymbology(symbology: Symbology): SymbologySettings

Added in version 7.4.0
