- For a batch type — when creating the batch type with the Batch Type Wizard, or later on the Batch Options tab of the Batch Type Properties dialog box.
- For individual batches — on the Batch Options tab of the Options dialog box.
Batch separation
Batch naming scheme
Click Naming Scheme… to open the Batch Name dialog box and define the template used for new batch names. A batch name can combine static text with dynamic tokens. Tokens appear in the rule wrapped in angle brackets (<>); any plain text outside the brackets is used as-is. Available tokens:
- Current time
- Current date
- Batch type
- Automatic numbering — by default, uses unique batch identifiers. An identifier isn’t reused even if the batch it was assigned to is deleted.
- Registration parameters
Batch_<Time> names each new batch with the prefix Batch_ followed by the current time.
When to create a new batch
Use the Create new batch option to choose when Scanning Station starts a new batch during scanning:| Option | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Never | All images go into one batch. |
| Each time scanning is initiated | A new batch is created each time a scan starts. |
| Every n pages | Each batch contains n pages. |
Document separation
Document naming scheme
Click Naming Scheme… to open the Document Name dialog box and define the template used for new document names. The structure is the same as for batches: tokens in angle brackets, static text outside. Available tokens:- Current time
- Current date
- Barcode value
- Automatic numbering
- Batch name
Document_<Time> names each new document with the prefix Document_ followed by the current time.
When to create a new document
Use the Create new document option to choose when Scanning Station starts a new document during scanning:- Never — all scanned images stay in the batch; no new documents are created.
- Every n pages — each document contains n pages.
- For images separated by… — a new document is created whenever a separator is detected:
- Blank pages — configure detection parameters in the Empty Page Detection dialog box (click Options…).
- Barcodes — configure in the Barcode Options dialog box (click Options…). Specify the barcode type and value, or use one of these catch-alls:
- Any type — creates a new document on any supported barcode.
- Any type (except post barcodes) — same as Any type but skips postal barcodes, which speeds up detection because postal barcodes aren’t scanned.
* matches any string of characters; ? matches any single character.
QR Code, Aztec, DataMatrix, and Code 39 without asterisk must be specified explicitly. They aren’t detected when Any type or Any type (except post barcodes) is selected.
