All of this is fairly straight forward.
1. Scan the back of your license / permit using a medium - high resolution. The resolution should be set so that the 2d barcode is about 2000 pixels long.
2. Open up the image in Photoshop and cut out the 2d barcode. The 2d barcode is the one on the bottom in the picture. Most states use the PDF-417 (Portable Data File, with 17 modules each containing 4 bars and spaces, thus 417). Edit the barcode so that it is exactly 2000 or less pixels long because that is the maximum the program will allow, and save it.
3. Open swipe toolkit pdf417 barcode reader, available to download in the last step, and load your barcode into it. Click decode image, and a window with all your information should pop up. The picture shows the window that I got ( I removed thinks I should probably care about). As you can see, you can view the information processed, in raw bytes, or in hex. An interesting thing to note is if your card contains your social security number, some states put it on and some states don't.

Driver’s License Barcode Scanners are specifically designed to read and decode information from the barcode on a driver's license. Many other Barcode Scanner are cable of reading the raw information, while others are pre-installed with a parsing application that allows you to configure the device to parse essential information from a driver’s license. PDF417 is an app for scanning several types of barcodes and QR codes. It supports a variety of use-cases, such as boarding passes, payment slips & m-wallets, retail tags, concert tickets, SIM cards, and other. Drivers' licenses also include a 2D barcode, which is easily read with a 2D Barcode Scanner. The data stored on the magnetic stripe of a driver's license includes the following: State or Province. According to the Card Design Standard by AAMVA, the PDF417 two-dimensional bar code symbology is the minimum mandatory machine-readable technology that must be present on compliant driving license/identification documents. The barcode encodes key information about the cardholder, including name, date of birth, sex, eye color, height and many others. Drivers License Check-In. And since our software is not modularized you can get started for the cost of the magnetic stripe reader ($100 US) or 2d barcode scanner ($395 US).

I am given a task to develop a small library which needs to be able to read
PDF417
barcode located on the back of the Driver's License card and parse the data out to our custom object.However I need to know what data types are these Data types denoting?

Guessing here, but <field length>/ANS, where A is alphabetic, N numeric and S spaces?
For example, 3/A is 3 alphabetic characters like USA.
Funny that weight and sex are both 1/N, but the example given (2 in both cases) fits my hypothesis.

The Washington spec is based on the AAMVA standard here:http://www.aamva.org/DL-ID-Card-Design-Standard/
The 2013 ID Card Design Standard is here: http://www.aamva.org/WorkArea/DownloadAsset.aspx?id=4435
The PDF 417 barcode specifications start on page 51 (65) of that document. On page 58 (72) they list the type definitions: 'A=alpha A-Z, N=numeric 0-9, S=special, F=fixed length, V=variable length'

6 A/N means it is a 6 digit or spaced (A)lpha/(N)umeric variable. For example 5'7' could be expressed as a variable that would fit the format as '067 in' (quotation marks only enclosing the actual variable. Very common definition of terms usually found in Database programming. Your variable will always be 6 characters long (including the space character)--3 alpha ( in) and 3 numeric (067).
