Drawing and selecting a bar code zone

Before you can use a bar code image to separate documents or batches, you need to draw and select a bar code zone.

To draw a bar code zone:

Select File>Job Setup. The Job Setup dialog box will be displayed.
Select a job setup from the Job Name drop-down list.
Open the Capture tab and select Separation>By Bar Code Zones settings. The Bar Code window will be displayed.
Select an image from the Image drop-down list. If you need to scan the image, click the green Start Scan icon on the Bar Code window. For more information on scanning an image, click here.
Place the mouse cursor at the top left corner of the area of the image where you want to define the bar code zone. For more information, click hereBar code zones are specific to a particular job and not a specific image. Therefore, when you create a new image, the software will display the zones that you defined using earlier images.

When drawing a bar code zone, leave a border area of approximately ¼-inch around the bar code. This ¼-inch border is often necessary for successful bar code reading. Bar code zones can overlap..
Click the left mouse button and drag the cursor to draw a rectangle around the area of the bar code. Bar codes defined with Zone will be enclosed in a red box while those defined with Anywhere will be enclosed in a blue box. For information on setting Zone or Anywhere, click here
After you draw the rectangle and release it, the Bar Code Zone Setup dialog box will be displayed.
In the Zone name field, enter a name for the new bar code zone. You must create a name in order to save the zone.
After entering your other settings, click OK to close the dialog box and return to the Bar Code window.
Click OK to save your settings and close the Job Setup dialog box. Your new bar code zone is now saved.
