Issues resolved in this fix pack

22.1.0.4 - FIXPACK4

Issues resolved in previous fix packs

22.1.0.3 - FIXPACK3

NOTES for fix pack 22.1.0.3 - FIXPACK3

1. For 2039679: New CSDK settings are available to control the secondary 2D bar code module Atala engine:
   

   "Kernel.Ocr.Bar_Atl.TradeOff" - Atala's tradeoff settings. Possible values: 1 (MostAccurate); 2 (Fastest); 0 (Balanced) "Kernel.Ocr.Bar_Atl.ScanInterval" - Atala's ScanInterval settings.

   Starting with this fix pack, the default value for the setting "Kernel.Ocr.Bar_Atl.TradeOff" was changed to 2 (Fastest), while the default value for the setting "Kernel.Ocr.Bar_Atl.ScanInterval" remains unchanged (5).

   For applications requiring higher barcode recognition accuracy it is recommended to set this TradeOff setting to 1 (MostAccurate).

   Note that in some cases, this change in the default value can result in slightly less accurate recognition and significant speed increase.

2. For 2030546: Starting with this fix pack, it is possible to specify timeout for the AtalaSoft 2D barcode module. Additionally, the default value for this setting has changed to 30 seconds.

   "Kernel.Ocr.Bar_Atl.Timeout" - Timeout allowed for the Atala 2D bar code engine, measured in seconds.

You can apply this fix pack to update the following Kofax OmniPage CSDK for Windows version:

• OmniPage Capture SDK for Windows 22.1
• OmniPage Capture SDK for Windows 22.1.0.1
• OmniPage Capture SDK for Windows 22.1.0.2
• OmniPage Capture SDK for Windows 22.1.0.3

Install This Fix Pack

Use the following procedure to install this fix pack.

1. Verify that the following applications and services are not running:
• Executables belonging to OmniPage Capture SDK 22.1
• Applications integrating the engine of OmniPage Capture SDK 22.1
• Antivirus software
2. Backup the content of the Bin folder of your Capture SDK 22.1 installation (to your backup-copy folder)
3. Depending on your Capture SDK installation select either the file KofaxOmniPageCaptureSDK-22.1.0.4_forWindows_32-bit.zip or KofaxOmniPageCaptureSDK-22.1.0.4_forWindows_64-bit.zip.
   Unzip the fix pack file to a temporary location.
4. Copy the files and subfolders located in the fix pack's folder (CSDK_BIN32 or CSDK_BIN64) into the Bin folder of your current Omnipage Capture SDK installation.
   IMPORTANT:
   • Remember to copy all files with the subfolders! (recursive copy)
   • This fix pack contains 4 new files (SxS*.manifest), which were not part of the fileset of the original 22.1 release. Note that these are required in case of IWR-based OCR engine integration only.
   • The following files became unnecessary and can be omitted from the distribution fileset supposing that the integrating application is not an IWR-based one:
     • Kofax.OmniPageCSDK.ArgTypes.dll
     • Kofax.OmniPageCSDK.CAPI.dll
     • Kofax.OmniPageCSDK.Objects.dll
     • Kofax.OmniPageCSDK.Objects.xml
     • Kofax.OmniPageCSDK.RecPDF.dll
     • Kofax.OmniPageCSDK.RecPDF.xml
5. Copy the file(s) residing in the fix pack's DATA folder into the DATA folder of your current Omnipage Capture SDK installation.
   
6. If you use the standalone version of Document Classifier (DCA) and there is an Engine subfolder under the folder DocumentClassifier22, refresh the files in the Engine subfolder from the CSDK_BIN32 or CSDK_BIN64 folder of this fix pack.
7. If you are using the "Form Template Editor" (FTE),
   - if there is an Engine subfolder under the folder FormTemplateEditor22, refresh the files in the Engine subfolder both from the folders CSDK_BIN32 and FTE_BIN32 or from CSDK_BIN64 and FTE_BIN64 of this fix pack.
   ...otherwise
   - refresh the files in the Bin folder of your current CSDK installation both from the folders CSDK_BIN32 and FTE_BIN32 or from CSDK_BIN64 and FTE_BIN64 of this fix pack.
8. If you have runtime deployment, remember to update that, as well:
   In the Distribution File Set (generated earlier), replace the original files with the new ones from the fix pack (to the BIN and to the DATA folders).
   Remember to add new CSDK file(s) introduced since the original 22.1 release, if there is any (that is, in any of the fix packs).
   Note: As the best practice, after applying the updates to the developer installation, generate the Distribution File Set again, using the Distribution Wizard.
Remember to add new CSDK files introduced since the version 22.1 release, if there are any (that is, in any of the fix packs).
Note: As the best practice, after applying the updates to the developer installation, generate the Distribution File Set again, using the Distribution Wizard.
9. If this fix pack contains an OPLA subfolder AND your application is using the OmniPage Licensing Agent (OPLA), use its updated version from the OPLA subfolder.
   The OPLA subfolder contains all the files necessary for OPLA.
10. Restart any applications and services you stopped before installing the fix pack.
