Patch 2, 3, or T code separation

This option is not available with Capture Pro Limited Edition.

The Patch 2, 3, or T separation settings under theCapture tabon theJob Setup dialog boxallow you to set up the software to recognize patch codes as separators between batches or documents on your scanner. Each patch has its separate window, but the commands are the same in all three windows. You can set up the system to recognize all three patch codes or just certain ones.

Detect Patch - click the checkbox to enable the Detect Patch option.  For more information, click here.ClosedIf the Detect Patch check boxes are disabled in all three Patch Code windows, the patch reader is disabled.

If you have checked Detect Patch on any of the Separation by Patch dialog boxes, the software checks each page for the type of patch code you selected.

Alternatively search on 180° rotated images - if a patch code reading is unsuccessful, this option rotates the image and searches for the patch code again. For more information, click hereClosedThis option can prevent a patch code read failure because a page was scanned upside down.

The software always searches for patch codes in the first four inches (10 cm) of the top of the image after rotation, deskew, and cropping (if any). If a patch is vertical, the image should be rotated with the Software rotation option defined in the Page Setup dialog box.
.  

Alternatively search on back - if a patch code reading is unsuccessful, this option searches the back side of the document for the patch. If the software detects a patch code on the front side, it will not look for a patch code on the back side.

Under What to do if patch code is detected - select one of four options:

  • Batch separation - create a new batch with a patch code. For more information, click hereClosedPatch 3  is normally used to create a new batch.

    Normally the page containing a patch code for batch separation should not have any content. Therefore, the software discards the patch code page; the next page scanned becomes the first page of the first document in the batch.
    .

  • Document separation - create a new document with a patch code.For more information, click hereClosedPatch 2  is normally used to create a new document and keep the image of the page containing the patch code.

    Patch T is normally used to create a new document and delete the image of the page containing the patch code.
    .

  • Create attachment - create an attachment with a patch code.

  • Rotate document based on patch - rotates the image containing the patch code so the patch code is located horizontally on top of the page. For more information, click hereClosedAll the images in the document will be rotated. This option only works when the Alternatively search on 180° rotated images option is enabled. Fronts and backs are rotated according to the selected single side scanning mode (classic or calendar).

    The Rotate document based on patch option does not work when the patch code separator page is discarded.
    .  

Delete page - deletes the page containing the patch code that started the new document or attachment. For more information, click here.ClosedThis option is important when you use inserts used for document separation purposes that do not contain any other information.

Rotate base on path (only if Alternatively search on 180 rotated images is checked).
 

OK - closes the dialog box.  All your settings are saved.
