Description of the Scanner Options Introduction This documentation is valid for the following scanners of the company InoTec: • Scamax 2600 / Scamax 2500 • Scamax 5000 You must use the following driver: The scanner is connected using a standard SCSI interface board, and an ASPI driver must be installed.
Notes, or other stickers that are not placed on top of the sheet, but at least two inches lower the top, will not cause a double feed error message to appear. Page 6 of 42 Scamax 2600 / 5000 Illustration 1 – Inotec Properties Tab: Device Scanner Options...

Manually function. Then, the scanner will no longer report "no paper" to the scan application until there is a timeout of eight seconds. During this time, the feeder rollers continue rolling, allowing fast and efficient scanning with the manual feeder. Scamax 2600 / 5000 DpuScan Page 7 of 42...

DpuScan Scamax 2600 / 5000 Scanner Options If the counters are correspondingly set and enabled in the module Patchcode-Controlled Index, they will be set and incremented as per the defined rules. So, for example, a document with the Patchcode ”Patch I” can indicate a new chapter. The chapter counter value increases incrementally by one and the sheet counter is reset to zero.
At the bottom of the Options page, you will find the box labeled Text. You must enter the code %%I Because the Patchcode Controlled Index depends on the hardware, the setup dialog for the Index is found within the scanner’s setup dialog. For example, the Index setup for the Scamax 2600 is found on the last tab.
The header is the data structure, 512 bytes long, that is sent along with each image from the scanner interface to the host. It is composed as per the following table: Page 16 of 42 Scamax 2600 / 5000 Scanner Options...

Only after an event that resets the counter can it be incremented "manually" by the user-defined value. After the first image, the counter will be incremented by 1 again automatically. Scamax 2600 / 5000 Bytes 109 -118 Bytes 120 -129...

It is up to the user to define which actions should be executed for a specific level. If the scanner is equipped with the appropriate hardware, it is possible to handle the level by pressing a key or a foot switch. Scamax 2600 / 5000 Illustration 6 – Counter Confirmation DpuScan...

As a general rule of thumb, the Patchcode should be recognized as soon as possible; that means it should be printed at the upper edge of a sheet (in direction of transport). Page 24 of 42 Scamax 2600 / 5000 Scanner Options...
As a reaction to an event, the corresponding counter will be incremented certain value) by the entered value. For example, the chapter counter can be incremented while the page counter is at reset value. Scamax 2600 / 5000 Illustration 8 – Counter Modes DpuScan Page 25 of 42...

The result of the chosen format can be seen as a preview ("Numeric Fields"). The order of the counter is predefined and fixed. Scamax 2600 / 5000 Illustration 9 – Print Counter DpuScan Page 27 of 42...

In the following example, the volume counter with two digits, the chapter counter with three digits, and the page counter with four digits are separated by different types of brackets and slashes: [00]-(000)/<0000> Page 28 of 42 Scamax 2600 / 5000 Scanner Options...
If they are set – as "1", or as "M" or "L" If they are not set – as "0", as a blank, or just left out ("not in use”). Scamax 2600 / 5000 Illustration 10 – Print Flags DpuScan...
For example, with a SCAMAX scanner, the fixed text field and numeric fields are limited to 15 characters each (except Counter A and its delimiter, as seen above). Page 30 of 42 Scamax 2600 / 5000 Scanner Options...

DpuScan Scamax 2600 / 5000 Scanner Options Note: Using the normal endorser counter %U when the Patchcode Controlled Index is also in use is not recommended. This is because the endorser counter uses the same resources as Counter A. The buttons to load and to save the settings and the button for the rules are located on the right side of the Parameter Configuration dialog.
DpuScan Scanner Options Scamax 2600 / 5000 Events and Actions Use this dialog to set the actions that will happen with which event. The following example defines that when a Patch II is found, the Chapter Counter is incremented and the Page Counter is reset. In ther words, a new chapter has started within the batch.
Such an event happens when one of the counters reaches its trigger value. Because several counters may reach their trigger value on the same page, several such events can happen at one time as well. Page 34 of 42 Scamax 2600 / 5000 Illustration 14 – Reset Values? Scanner Options...
So only one Patchcode is found on a sheet in a time. If no Patchcode was found, the checking of the level (step 3) follows. When a Patchcode-based rule becomes true the resulting actions take effect: Scamax 2600 / 5000 DpuScan Page 35 of 42...

Counter-Based Events und Actions After each check the resulting actions (except the hardware actions, as seen in Steps 2 and 4) will be performed immediately. Page 36 of 42 Scamax 2600 / 5000 5.2.3 Counters on Page 19. Scanner Options...

When the machine returns an image, the driver searches for Patchcodes and merges the result and the further image-dependent values into the header. Then the procedure restarts at Step 1. The dialog on the next page is intended to define the rules. Scamax 2600 / 5000 DpuScan Page 37 of 42...

Because the flag setting is not evaluated, it can be done immediately after verifying a rule. That means that the latched flag can be set by a rule and can be reset later by another rule on the same sheet. Scamax 2600 / 5000 Illustration 15 – Setting Flags and Level DpuScan...

This enables or disables the endorser from the next sheet on, and the Endorser on / current sheet is not affected. Endorser off If different rules enable and disable the endorser, the latter rule takes precedent. Scamax 2600 / 5000 Illustration 16 – Device Control DpuScan Page 41 of 42...
