dim b as BarcodeScannerMBS
dim p as Picture
// set b to your scanner and p to your picture

for i=0 to 99
  lines.append i*10 // search every 10th line on a 1000 pixel high image.
next

if b.scan(p,lines) then
  // ok
end if

Notes:
The barcode is searched on the lines with the given offsets from the left to right.

The lines array must have at least one entry specifying the lines to search on.
If the values in the lines array are out of bounds, they are ignored. The first line has the value 0.
