Using a Patchcode for Scanning
DR-M160 supports batch separation (automatic file separation)
functions by using patchcodes.
By tucking patchcode sheets supplied with this scanner into a
document and scanning it, the scanner can automatically separate
files by images of documents containing patchcode sheets (or
documents after the patchcode sheet).

software. Other applications that support this function include ISIS-
compatible applications. It is not supported by TWAIN-compatible
