About patch codes
There are three types of patch codes you can set up in Capture Software:
• Patch 2 codes are traditionally used to separate pages into documents.
A page containing a Patch 2 code is usually kept.
• Patch 3 codes are traditionally used to separate documents into batches.
A page containing a Patch 3 code is not kept.
• Patch T codes or programmable patch codes can be used for
either document, batch separation or the creation of an attachment.
A Patch T code is never kept.
With Capture Software, you can define the separation method for each of the
patch codes. This is useful for existing applications where Patch 2 codes were
used as document separator pages instead of Patch T codes. You can also
define a patch code to create an attachment. For new applications and for
compatibility reasons, it is recommended that you use patch codes the way
they were designed to be used.
NOTES: Patch code applications cannot be used with Low Volume
Capture Software
Lite
(Scanner 1500 and Scanner 2500),
Capture Software
Lite
for i50/i60/i80 Scanners, or Capture
Software
Lite
for i200 Series Scanners.
For patch code reading when color or grayscale scanning, refer
to Chapter 7,
Bar Codes, Patch Codes and OCR Indexing with
Color Scanners
.
When patch code reading is enabled in an i800 Series Scanner,
software patch code reading in Capture Software is not allowed.
Conversely, when software patch code reading is enabled in Capture
Software, hardware patch code reading in the i800 Series Scanner
may not be defined.
