Example

Copy 
 VectorImage vectorImage = scanDocument.CreateVectorImage("image1", DistanceUnit.Millimeters);

 vectorImage.SetJumpSpeed(2000);
 vectorImage.SetMarkSpeed(1000);
 vectorImage.SetMarkDelay(200);
 vectorImage.SetJumpDelay(150);

 //Create serial number
 SerialNumber serialVar1 = new SerialNumber("serialVar");

 //Add serialNumber to scandocument
 scanDocument.AddSerialNumberVariable(serialVar1);

 //  Date Serial Item
 DateSerialItem dateSerialitem = new DateSerialItem(28, 2, 2023);

 // Date format for Expiry date
 dateSerialitem.CodeFormat = "EXP Date: [DD]/[MMM]/[YYYY]";

 // Use current date
 dateSerialitem.UseCurrentDate = false;

 // To increment Date, Month, Year 
 dateSerialitem.IncrementYears  = 1; 
 dateSerialitem.IncrementMonths = 1; 
 dateSerialitem.IncrementDays   = 1;

 //Save serialization instance data to SMC
 scanDocument.IsSaveAndUseSerailizationState = true;

 //Time to expire the serialization instance data
 scanDocument.SerailizationStateSaveDataExpirationTime = 1;

 serialVar1.SerialItemList.Add(dateSerialitem);

 //Dynamic Text 
 DynamicTextShape dynamicText = new DynamicTextShape();
 dynamicText.Height = 5;
 dynamicText.Location = new Point3D(0, 0, 0);
 dynamicText.VariableName = "dynText1";
 dynamicText.Text = " ";
 dynamicText.EvaluateVariableTags = true;
 dynamicText.FontName = "Arial";
 dynamicText.CharacterGap = 0;
 dynamicText.ScaleX = 1;
 dynamicText.ScaleY = 1;
 dynamicText.Angle = 0;

 // Embed Font  
 Collection<UnicodeRange> unicodeRanges = new Collection<UnicodeRange>();
 UnicodeRange unicodeRange = new UnicodeRange();
 unicodeRange.StartingCharacter = Convert.ToChar(0x00);
 unicodeRange.EndingCharacter = Convert.ToChar(0xff);    // Characters from 0 to 255 or basically extended ASCII range is embedded
 unicodeRanges.Add(unicodeRange);
 scanDocument.EmbedFont("Arial", FontStyle.Regular, unicodeRanges); 
 
 vectorImage.AddDynamicText(dynamicText, new SerialNumberEx(serialVar1));

 scanDocument.Scripts.Add(new ScanningScriptChunk("defaultScript", "ScanAll()"));
