If two or more form definitions in a job have identical adjustment fields, forms could potentially be incorrectly identified during production. Checking identification helps you determine which adjustment fields you need to fine tune to avoid this problem. As a result, conflicting adjustment fields can be fixed before you go into production. The results also indicate which images cannot be identified with a form definition and why.
In Scan or Interpret jobs, use the Check identification button in the Identification settings dialog to check the identification of example form images against the form definitions the job contains. Both positive and negative image examples are compared with each form definition in the job, and the results indicate which adjustment fields are identified incorrectly. This helps you ensure that the forms that are to be processed together can be identified properly. This process is particularly useful when using flexible forms.
Do the following to check that forms can be identified in a job.
Scenario 1: You have two forms (FormA and FormB) that are similar in appearance but different enough that separate form definitions are necessary in the job (that is, using flexible forms does not identify both forms). Click here for information on how to determine if form definitions in a job have identical adjustment fields.
Scenario 2: During production, forms of one type (FormB, for example) are consistently identified as belonging to another form definition in the job (FormA, for example). Click here for information on how to determine which adjustment fields are causing the problem.
