A batch type is a reusable collection of settings — scanner source, image processing profile, export options, and more — that determines how each batch of that type is scanned, processed, and exported.

​
How Operators use batch types

When creating a batch, an Operator picks a batch type to apply its settings. When no special settings are needed, the Operator can use the built-in Unsorted batch type, which processes images with the defaults.

​
Why define batch types

Batch types let you standardize processing across one or many Scanning Stations. Export a batch type to an XML file and import it on other stations to guarantee the same scan, image-processing, and export behavior everywhere — handy when you need consistent output quality or want to limit what Operators can change. See Working with batch types for how to create, edit, import, and export batch types, and Batch type settings for the full settings reference.
