Separating batches You can separate batches in the following ways: • with a bar code • with an OCR zone (see the section entitled "Setting OCR zone properties" later in this chapter) • with a patch code (see the section entitled "Patch Setup dialog box" in Chapter 5 for more information) • with a blank page (see the section entitled "Blank Page Setup dialog box" in Chapter 8 for more information) • automatically after x documents • by selecting Batch>New from the Capture Software menu bar To separate a batch with a bar code: 1. Define the zone where you expect to find the bar code. 2. Check the Batch separation option. 3. Fill in the Keep bar codes with mask and /or Minimum length field in the Properties tab if you wish to restrict batch separation to a specific bar code value or mask. IMPORTANT: Normally the page containing the bar code that separates the batch does not have any content. Therefore, the page containing the bar code which creates the new batch is always deleted. The next page scanned becomes the first page of the first document in the batch. Any bar codes on the Batch Header page can still be used in the batch or document index file. When a batch is manually created (usually the first batch of the day), any batch level bar codes will not be read from the batch separator page if it is the first page scanned. This is because the batch was not automatically created from the batch separator page. As a result, you must do one of the following to batch index the first scan batch of the day successfully: Manually enter the batch index fields using the Edit Batch Fields option on the Index menu. Create a "dummy" first batch of the day and precede the batch with a "dummy" document. As a result, when the batch separator page is scanned, the batch will automatically be created and indexed.
