Jobs
A job is a collection of parameters the DS2200 use for scanning documents.
The jobs you set up allow you to process documents in a similar manner from
run to run.
The scanner captures images of documents and stores the information it
collects in batches, which consist of one or more transactions. The definition of
a transaction can vary from customer to customer, and even from job to job. A
transaction may consist of several page types. For example, a check, a stub
(or remittance piece), and an envelope.
Structured vs. Unstructured jobs
Structured jobs require you to scan documents in a particular order. For
example, when running a structured job, the machine may prompt you to scan
a batch ticket first, then a stub, then a check, and/or another document, and
finally an envelope to signify the end of the transaction. If a page type is
scanned out of sequence or if the system is expecting a certain page type, the
system will alert you.
In an unstructured job, you can scan any of the expected page types in any
sequence. The only restriction is that the transaction boundary, in most cases
an envelope, is scanned last in the transaction. The transaction boundary tells
the system the current transaction is complete and the next transaction will
begin.
Page types
The term “page type” is used to specify a collection of criteria that a piece must
meet to be classified as a certain type of document, such as: length, height,
barcode, mark detect, MICR, etc. The system uses the page type parameters
set up by your System Administrator to classify documents that come into the
system. When the scanner processes documents in a job, it gathers data (such
as length and width) on each item and compares the item to the page types
you have designated for that job. This is how the system identifies each
document scanned into the system. The system then collects the appropriate
data from the document and sorts it according to the current job parameters.
