WDI4700: enable reading USA Driver's License

Authors list

This document enables reading the PDF417 barcode on the back of many USA driver's licenses. The WDI4700 should be able to read this off a computer monitor. If you have trouble, print the page out and scan that.

Note that due to the amount and complexity of data contained in the barcode, there is not a way for the scanner to parse and output specific pieces of information. However, the data is formatted in such a way as to identify various pieces of information, and parse that in a custom program or something like Excel that uses formulas.

Below is an example of the data contained in the barcode in a Texas driver's license (including non-printable characters).
