Image address tab (Kodak i800 scanner)

This information applies only to users of the Kodak i800 Scanners and is not available with Capture Pro Limited Edition.

Image addressing is used for document tracking, batch control and image management. The Image Address tab allows you to set an image address starting point. The scanner will increment the image address based on how you set up the image address rules on this tab. This tab is only available when the scanner is in Image Address mode.

Template — up to four fields can be defined. The maximum length for each image address field is 9. The combined length of all image address fields cannot exceed 27 characters. This results in a maximum image address length of 30 characters (with a period (.) delimiter between each field). Enter a width value of 0 to disable an image address field. The default setting of all image fields widths set to 0 will disable image addressing in the scanner.

The i800 Series Scanners have more options available for image addressing schemes with the following guidelines:

  • Only one field may be assigned to a level. You are only allowed one level 1 field, one level 2 field, and one level 3 field.

  • There is no requirement to have any level field.

Field width — there are four image address fields that make up the image address format:

  • Fixed — a static field containing ASCII text that does not increment or change during scanning.

  • Level 3 — a counter that is associated with the numeric portion of the batch name within the software. Whenever a Level 3 page is scanned, the software will automatically create a new batch and discard the Level 3 page.

  • Level 2 — a counter that is associated with the document number of the current batch in the software. Whenever a Level 2 page is scanned, the software will automatically create a new document.

  • Level 1 — a counter that is associated with the page number of the current document in the software. Whenever a Level 1 page is scanned, the software will attach the images for the page to the current document.

After Level 3, After Level 2, After Level 1 — for each image address level, specify the image level that will be assigned to the next scanned page. Possible values are Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3. Level 1 is the default.

For example:

For health claim processing, every page scanned (the claim form) is its own document. There is, however, the occasional claim form that will be accompanied by some form of correspondence or supporting documentation. For this application, you would define a Level 2 image address with the following rules:

  • Level 2 followed by Level 2

  • Level 1 followed by Level 1

This will effectively create a new document in the software for every page scanned. When the exception claim form needs to be scanned, the scanner operator presses the Level key on the scanner control panel to set the image address level to Level 1 after scanning the claim form. Then the correspondence pages are scanned. Once complete, the Level key is pressed again to set the image address level back to Level 2 for regular scanning.

Image Address format — the image address can be printed on the original documents as they are transported through the system. You can define the format in which the image address is printed. Select one of the following formats:

  • Display leading zeros (e.g., 004.003.002.001)

  • Suppress leading zeros (e.g., 004. 3. 2. 1)

  • Compress leading zeros (e.g., 004.3.2.1)

OK - saves your settings and closes the dialog box.
