Batching
A-61510 January 2005
When an additional patch is detected, this document is
considered a Level 0 document and will not cause the IA to
change. The image header indicates that this is an additional
patch document by returning a patch type, which matches the
patch detected. The scanner will not print on documents
containing these additional patches. See the section entitled
"Controlling image order" earlier in this chapter for examples on
how to use additional patches.
Batching provides a way for the scanner to perform a specific function
after scanning a designated number of documents at a particular IA
level.
Batching can be enabled or disabled through the host software.
The host software has control of which level to count and the
number of documents to designate a batch.
The Start of Batch function is controlled by the host and
determines what happens when a new batch is started. This can
be setup to go to Level 1, 2 or 3, which then causes the IA to be
recalculated. No functionality can also be assigned.
The End of Batch function is controlled by the host and
determines what happens when the batch count has been
reached. The options are to stop the feeder, end of job, or
continue and begin a new batch. No functionality can also be
assigned.
The host application determines if batching is enabled by
defining the number of documents per batch and the image
address level to count.
