The Scan job options dialog

Use this dialog to set up the scanning process to suit the particular task or your personal preferences. You can:

To access the dialog, click Options on the Scan tab of the Job description dialog.

Display options

Display options

View scanned forms every X forms

Displays forms in a separate window during scanning. Specify in the box how often forms are to be displayed.

Note: If you display them too often, Scan’s speed may decrease.

Thumbnail options

By default, thumbnail images of scanned forms are displayed in a separate window during scanning. Click Thumbnail options to change how the images are displayed or turn off the display.

Ensorser options

None

Scanned pages are not endorsed (stamped).

Manual endorse

If your scanner has an endorser, this option gives you full control over what is printed on each page as it is scanned.

Note: With this option, scanning speed can decrease substantially, or even take twice as long, depending on which scanner you are using. Exception: Some Kodak models can run at full speed even with Manual endorse enabled, namely those that have a patch reader and that are certified by ReadSoft for using with FORMS together with the patch reader.  

XXX Fråga: När man väljer Manual endorse, måste man rimligen välja någonting i Select string to imprint? Eller -- vad händer om man inte gör det? Man får inget felmeddelande, vilket verkar konstigt. HåBå svarade: Jag har inte ändrat något beteende här. Skall kolla med den som gjort denna dialog.

Auto endorse

If your scanner has an endorser that supports auto endorsing, select this option if you do not require full control over what is printed on each page as it is scanned.

Horizontal position

Enabled when Auto endorse or Manual endorse is selected.

Specify in millimeters or in inches (depending on the settings in your Ehglobal.ini file) where you want the string to be printed, relative to the upper left-hand corner of the page. The upper left-hand corner of the first character in the string appears in the position you indicate.

Exception: Panasonic KV-SS905C uses a different way of specifying the position of the endorser string.

Vertical position

Confirm start value

Select this option if you want to confirm or specify the prefix string (including the counter’s start value) each time the scanner starts. This is convenient if the number that is printed on each form is important and a paper jam occurs, for example. You simply look at the number on the form that caused the jam and type the next number in the Confirm start value dialog when you are ready to continue.

Select string to imprint

Enabled when Manual endorse is selected.

Select one or more of the predefined variables to stamp on each form as it is scanned.

The order in which you select variables does not matter. If you select more than one variable, they are printed in the same order in which they appear in the list and are separated by one space. The maximum length of the string to be printed is 80 characters.

Prefix string

Enabled when Auto endorse is selected. See separate topic.

Start value

Enabled when Auto endorse is selected.

The start value is the number that the counter starts counting from. This number is printed after the prefix (if any) on the first page scanned in the job.

Increment

Enabled when Auto endorse is selected.

This is the amount by which the counter is incremented with each page—normally 1. With most scanners, the value is always 1 and cannot be overridden.

Length

Enabled when Auto endorse is selected.

Indicates how many characters the counter should contain before restarting at 1. Four (4) is the default value, and it means that 9999 pages are to be scanned continuously before restarting at 1.
