Creating And Selecting A Bar Code Zone - Kodak 8383697 - Capture Pro Software User Manual

Creating and selecting a
bar code zone
A-61635 December 2010
Before you can use a bar code image for indexing or separation to separate
documents or batches, you need to create and select a bar code zone. Bar
code zones are created to indicate where to look for a bar code that satisfies
your bar code zone properties.
1. Select File>Job Setup. The Job Setup dialog box will be displayed.
2. Select a job setup from the Job Name drop-down list.
3. Open the Capture tab and select Separation>By Bar Code Zones
settings. The Bar Code window will be displayed.
4. Select an image from the Image drop-down list. If you need to scan the
image, click the green Start/Scan icon on the Bar Code window.
NOTES:
• Place the mouse cursor at the top-left corner of the area of the image
where you want to define the location for this bar code zone.
• Bar code zones are specific to a particular job; not a specific image.
Therefore, when you create a new image, Kodak Capture Pro Software
will display the zones that you defined using previous images.
• When drawing the location for a bar code zone, leave a border area of
approximately 1/4-inch around the bar code. This border is often
necessary for successful bar code reading. Bar code zone locations can
overlap.
5. Click the left mouse button and drag the cursor to draw a rectangle around
the area of the bar code. Bar codes defined with the Zone position
selected on the Bar Code Zone Setup dialog box will be enclosed in a red
box while those defined with Anywhere will be enclosed in a blue box.
After you draw the rectangle and release it, the Bar Code Zone Setup
dialog box will be displayed.
6. In the Zone name field, enter a name for the new bar code zone. You must
create a name in order to save the zone.
7. After entering your other settings, click OK to close the dialog box and
return to the Bar Code window. See the next section, "Bar Code Zone
Setup dialog box" for field descriptions.
8. Click OK to save your settings and close the Job Setup dialog box.
