Document separation: Overview

Document separation is Entrance' ability to recognize where one multi-page document ends and where the next one begins when the documents are scanned together using batch mode. It also applies to document images that are imported or captured from email using COLLECTOR. Entrance does this by either detecting the blank pages that you insert between the documents, or via barcodes, which are usually printed on the first page.

Using Manager, open an existing job description or create a new one.
In the General settings under Scan, select Use batch mode.
In the Pages settings, select Multi-page documents or documents with appendices, as well as whether documents will be separated using blank pages or barcodes.

Using Manager, open an existing job description or create a new one.
In the General settings under Interpret, select Use batch mode.
In the Source settings, select Import document image files.
Click Configure and specify the location of the Source directory.

When this job is run, Entrance looks for subfolders in the source directory. Each subfolder becomes a separate batch. If no folders are found, no batches are created.
Click Advanced and select Import multi-image files and then Multi-page documents or documents with appendices.

Using Manager, open an existing job description or create a new one.
In the General settings under Interpret, select Use batch mode.
In the Source settings, select Data source extension and then ReadSoft COLLECTOR.
Click Configure and select the desired input source on the Input tab. If an appropriate input source is not available, you can create a new one or adjust an existing one by clicking Settings on the bottom of the dialog. In the dialog that displays, click the Input tab and then either to create a new one or to edit an existing one. For more information on how to set up the supported email protocols, click Help in the dialog.
Click the Email settings tab and specify if you want each email attachment to be treated as a separate document or if you want both the email itself and any attachments to be handled together as a single document.
Note: A separate batch is created for each email and its contents depending on what is selected here.
