Bar code zone separation

The bar code zone separation setting under the Capture tab on the Job Setup dialog box allows you to scan an image in the Bar Code window and define general bar code properties for all defined bar codes zones and bar code zone-specific properties. The commands within the Bar Code window are listed below.

Setting eight or more bar code zones for a job may adversely affect your scanning speed.

Image name - if desired, select a pre-existing image from the drop-down list. For more information, click hereThe Image name drop-down list contains all the images that have been scanned for bar code setup. You must have at least one image in this list before you can define a bar code zoneA bar code image that the software recognizes as a separator between batches or documents in images being scanned. Before a bar code image can be used as a separator, the user must define it as a bar code zone in the Capture tab of the Job Setup dialog box. .

For typical job setups using bar code zones, a single image is all that is required. Multiple images are needed for job setups that have batch and document header sheets, each containing bar code information.

Any bar code zones that you define will be displayed on the current image, even if you defined those zones using a different image..
