Creating a new batch

To create a new batch in the current job setup:

  1. Select Batch>New. The New Batch dialog box will be displayed.

  2. Select a job setup from the Job Name drop-down list.  Your new batch will be captured and output as defined in this job setup.

  3. Enter a new batch name in the Batch name field. By default, the software suggests a new batch name based upon the last batch name created for the job setup.  For example, if the last batch name is Batch002, then the new batch name default will be Batch003. You will not be able to enter a value if Enable Job Level batch numbering is unchecked on Workstation Setup dialog box.

For Network Edition clients. When Enable Job Level Batch Numbering is disabled in Workstation Setup and the batch name includes <BATCH_COUNTER), the batch name will say “Set by System” and cannot  be changed.

  1. Enter the starting document ID. The starting document ID is the ID you want to assign to the first document in a batch. In most cases, that ID is 1. By default, the software suggests a starting document ID based on the job setup.

  2. Click OK. The new batch is now created.  The Image Viewer will be displayed on the Main window with the batch name you assigned. The Image Viewer, Batch Explorer, and Thumbnail Viewer will remain blank until you start scanning images.

Depending on your user profile settings and your settings in the Job Setup dialog box, other dialog boxes may be displayed before the Main window is displayed.
