Batch Setup Separation Section

When configuring a Batch Setup, you can define how documents are separated during scanning. To configure these settings:

  1. Select a Batch Setup, right-click to open the context menu, and choose Batch Setup Properties.
  2. The Batch Setup Properties window appears.
  3. In the window, select the Separation section and configure the settings below.

Separation Types

Choose one of the following separation methods:

Manual

  • No automatic separation.
  • The user manually defines where a new document starts.
  • Useful for documents with varying formats or structures.

Fixed Pages

  • Automatically separates after a set number of pages.
  • Ideal for documents with a consistent page count.
  • Example: Every 2 pages is treated as one document.

Fixed Scanned Sheets

  • Separates based on the number of physical sheets scanned (not logical pages).
  • Useful for duplex (double-sided) scanning.

Page Size

  • Separates documents based on page size (e.g., A4, Legal).
  • Useful when document types differ in physical size.

Page Size Settings

  • Select the target page size from the dropdown (A0, A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6).
  • Example: Selecting “Max” separates at the largest page size detected.

Bar Code Separator

  • Uses a barcode to identify the start of a new document.

Barcode Settings

  • Barcode on Separator Sheet? – If checked, expects a barcode on a dedicated separator page.
  • Barcode Value – Specify the barcode text or pattern to trigger separation.
  • Barcode Type – Choose the barcode format (e.g., Aztec Code, CodeBar, Code 39, Code 93, Code 128, Data Matrix, EAN 8, EAN 13, ITF, MaxiCode, PDF 417, QR-Code, RSS, RSS Expanded, UPC-A, UPC-E, All 1D, UPC EAN Extension, MSI, Plessey, IMB QR Code, etc.).

Custom

  • Allows for advanced logic or scripting to define separation rules.

Custom Settings

  • Choose a predefined profile.
  • Click Edit Profile to adjust the custom logic.

Buttons
