Imprinting
Imprinting is a method of adding a printed watermark to a scanned document at the time of scan. This setting can be useful in a variety of businesses and workflows where marking a scanned document after its capture is important.
Scanners in use must have the ability to imprint and be configured to do so. Scanning may become significantly slower.
In the Imprinting Settings Definition dialog box, users can add, delete, or move any created imprinter text.
Name: This area displays the names of any imprinter text created.
Under the Settings group, the user can configure any settings for each named imprinter text.
Type: There are three section types to select from:
-
System Field: This option unlocks several system fields that can be selected in the System field list.
-
Constant: Select from any printable character in the Value field. A space or underscore is the most common character.
-
Auto Number: Select an options from the Counter list: New Counter Per Batch, or one of the defined shared counters, or click Setup and then Add to create a new shared counter.
Section width: Set the number of digits for the section.
-

Convert to uppercase: Selecting this option causes all alpha characters to be printed in uppercase.
Counter: If New Counter Per Batch is selected, the user is asked to create a new counter each time a new batch is created. The user can also select one of the existing shared counters. Click Setup and then Add to create a new shared counter.
-
Display name: Enter a name for the new counter. This counter and all other existing counters are also accessible through Configuration: Shared Counters.
-
Initial value: Enter a numeric value as the starting point of this new counter.
-
Reload counter before incrementing: This sets the value of the selected counter to 0.
While still in the Setup Counters dialog box, select a counter then click Edit to change its value.
Increment: Set a value by which to step up each time.
