1 Introduction
Kodak Capture Pro Software is an easy-to-install, easy-to-use production
scanning application for electronic capture of documents.
This software is ideal for imaging, forms processing and workflow applications,
and as a standalone application. It manages one- and two-sided scanning,
indexing and batching in color, black and white, and/or grayscale. Batches can
be easily exported to many popular applications. Capture Pro Software allows
you to fully utilize your scanner capabilities for maximum productivity. All
functions are performed in the software; no special hardware acceleration is
required.
Capture Pro Software is designed for speed, accuracy, and ease-of-use. It
enables optimum scanner throughput and maximum productivity. A high-speed
multi-page display presents the images and optional index data as documents
are scanned. A complete set of icon-based tools is available to simplify
scanning management.
This Administrator’s Guide provides detailed information about creating job
setups which will allow users the most efficient means of using Kodak Capture
Pro Software. Also includes information about page setups, bar codes and
patch codes, auto import and more.
Scanner support Kodak Capture Pro Software supports most Kodak Scanners and almost any
non-Kodak Scanner that has a certified ISIS driver. For a complete list of
scanners that are supported by Capture Pro Software go to:
www.kodakalaris.com/go/kcsscannersupport.
If your non-Kodak Scanner is not supported and you want to add your scanner
to the supported list, provide your scanner information to your Kodak Alaris
Authorized Reseller or local Kodak Alaris Representative.
• Capture Pro Software also supports Kofax VRS Version 4.x for any
scanners that have been certified for use with VRS.
• Support for non-Kodak Scanners is certified only for Microsoft Windows XP,
Microsoft Windows 7 and Microsoft Windows 8 operating systems. For more
information see, Appendix B, System Requirements.

2 Job Setup
The Job Setup
function
The Job Setup function allows you to set up the parameters for a job. This
chapter provides information and procedures on how to select options on the
Capture, Index and Output tabs that allow you to setup a job with criteria that
meets your scanning needs. Once a job is setup, you can select a job that
meets the scanning and output requirements for a batch of documents.
To setup jobs for use with Kodak Capture Pro Software you need to access the
Job Setup dialog box. From Job Setup you can select an already-defined Job
Name and use it as a template to customize the jobs you need to use in your
environment.
There are three predefined jobs that come with Kodak Capture Pro Software:
Ready to Scan — allows you to start scanning documents without any setup
using default settings. This job does not have any indexes defined and places
all scanned images in a folder structure under the C:\ScanPro directory.
Scan to PDF — similar to Ready to Scan, except when documents are
scanned, the first page will be displayed in the Image Viewer and you will be
prompted for a filename to be entered as index data. The index data is used as
the filename when documents are output.
Scan to e-mail — similar to the Scan to PDF except a PDF file will be created
and will be included as an attachment to an e-mail. When the scan is
complete, the e-mail software application will be opened with the scanned
attachment and be ready to send to an e-mail address from your e-mail
account.
Depending on what you want to do, you can select one of these job setups to
use as a starting point to setup your job.
Accessing a job
setup
• Click File>Job Setup. The Job Setup dialog box will be displayed.
8 A-61750 November 2016
The Job Setup dialog
box
The following information is common to all tabs on the Job Setup dialog box:.
Job name — lists the predefined jobs and other jobs that have been defined in
the drop-down list.
The Job Setup dialog box has three tabs: Capture, Index and Output.
Detailed information on how to use these tabs can be found in the following
sections.
•The Capture tab allows you to make General, Batch, Bar Code, OCR &
Mark Detection, Separation and Scanner settings. See the section entitled,
“Job Setup: Capture tab” later in this chapter.
- General settings — define the way images will be stored after
scanning.
- Batch settings — select the batch settings for the job setup and put
limits on the number of batch documents and pages.
- Bar Code, OCR & Mark Detection settings — create and modify bar
code, OCR or mark detection zones and set them up for use.
- Separation settings — set up separations by count, blank page, bar
code zone, OCR zone, or patch code.

configuring your bar code, OCR and mark detection settings.
A-61750 November 2016 17
Separation settings —
Capture tab
The Separation option on the Capture tab allows you to identify how you want
to separate batches and documents for a job. There are several ways to add
separators to your batches. The following list provides the options you can use
to create separation settings in Kodak Capture Pro Software:
• with a bar code zone (see Chapter 4, Bar Code, OCR & Mark Detection
Setup)
• with an OCR zone (see Chapter 4, Bar Code, OCR & Mark Detection Setup)
• with Patch codes 2, 3 or T (see Chapter 3, Patch Setup)
• by automatically counting pages in a document(s) in a batch (set this option
up using the By Count option)
• with a blank page (set this option up using the By Blank Page option)
• by selecting Document>New or Batch>Next
• by pressing Enter during scanning
• by right-clicking on a page file in the Batch Explorer and clicking Split
The sections that follow provide information and procedures for using Kodak
Capture Pro Software to automatically separate documents or batches by
counting pages and how to use blank page separation.
By Count The By Count separation setting on the Capture tab allows you to enter the
number of documents that each batch will contain, and the number of pages
each document will contain.
1. Choose Batch Level and/or Document Level.
2. Click Every at the Batch Level and enter the number of documents that
the batch must contain before a new batch is created.
3. Click Every at the Document Level and enter the number of pages that a
document must contain before a new document is created.
18 A-61750 November 2016
By Blank page When scanning images, you can insert blank pages to serve as separators.
Kodak Capture Pro Software can recognize blank pages and use them to start
new batches, start new documents, or create attachments to documents.
To use this method enable the By Blank Page option and select the desired
settings.
When you are simultaneously scanning black and white and color/grayscale
images, Capture Pro Software can use either black and white or the color
image to determine a blank page. When the software detects a blank page, all
four images (Color front; Color back; Black and White front; and Black and
White back) of the page are either deleted or attached to the new/current
document, depending on the settings you created.
The size (in bytes) of both the front and back images of a page must fall below
the entered byte value for Capture Pro Software to recognize the page as
blank. If the software does not recognize a blank page, it will ignore it as a
separator.
NOTE: It is recommended that you test these values to ensure that the
software will detect your blank pages as a separator. See the next
section “Testing your settings” for procedures.
Blank Page Image Separator when — activates blank page separation.
• Image size (byte) is below — creates blank page separations based on the
size (in bytes) of the blank page image. Specify the maximum amount of
data (bytes) an image can contain and still be considered blank for each
image type (Black & White, Color/Grayscale) that you will be scanning.
The image size is checked against the raw image coming from the
scanner before operations are performed.
- Black & White: enter the maximum image size in bytes for black and
white. By default, 3000 bytes is suggested for black and white images.
- Color/Grayscale: enter the maximum image size in bytes for color or
grayscale. The maximum image size that can be specified is 1,000,000
bytes (1 MB) to allow for blank page separation when color scanning.
100,000 bytes is recommended.
A-61750 November 2016 19
• Image content (%) is below — creates blank page separations based on
the percentage of image content in the blank page image.
NOTE: If the pages you are scanning are different sizes, a small page may
fall below your blank image byte count even though it contains data.
In this case, you may want to describe a blank image by
specifying% content rather than byte size.
- Black & White: enter the percentage limit for black and white images.
- Color/Grayscale: enter the percentage limit for color and grayscale
images.
Test — opens the Test Image dialog box, which allows you to scan and test
the blank page that is being used as a separator that will be considered blank
when compared against the Image content (%) settings. Use this option to
verify that the software considers the page to be blank. See the next section
“Testing your settings” for more information.
What to do if a page is blank — select one of the options as the next step
after the software recognizes a blank page separation.
• Create a new batch — creates a new batch when a blank page is detected.
• Create a new document — creates a new document when a blank page is
detected.
• Next page stays in current document — deletes the blank page.
• Delete page — when checked, the blank page will not be included in the
batch or document that you are separating on.
20 A-61750 November 2016
Testing your settings 1. Place a document in the scanner that is representative of the document
you want to test for blank page separation.
2. Click Test to display the Test Image dialog box.
3. Click the green Scan button. The results will be displayed in the Test result
box.
• The image is: indicates if the image is Blank or Not Blank.
• Image size is - (bytes): the size of the test image in bytes.
• Content is - %: the percentage of content in the test image.
4. Evaluate the values displayed in the Image size is - (bytes) and/or
Content is - % test result area and click Close.
5. Based on the results, readjust your entered values as needed and click
OK.

Job Setup:
Index tab
Indexing allows you to add data processing functions to your scanning,
capturing and outputting of images at the document and batch level.
You can setup indexing formulas that check the accuracy of metadata
contained in OCR, bar code and mark detection zones. If OCR, barcode or
mark detection reading misinterprets data, the indexing formula can catch the
errors and stop the scan.
You can also setup indexing formulas that output your images to different
locations based on metadata.
• For information on creating input formats, see “Input formats” later in this
section.
• For information on creating output formats, see “Output formats” later in this
section.
• For information on setting up indexes for output to SharePoint, see “Using
the SharePoint Index Setup Wizard” later in this section.
The Index tab on the Job Setup dialog box allows you to define an index field
at the Batch level and Document level. Index fields are setup the same way
for Batch level and Document level.
Following are descriptions of the fields on the Index tab:
Action when audit fails — select the action you want the scanner to take
when an audit fails.
• Continue scanning: keep scanning even when the audit finds illegal index
values.
• Stop scanning: stop scanning and automatically enter Index Editing mode
when the audit finds illegal index values.
Bypass audit during navigation — when checked, disables the audit
function when navigating through documents in the Batch Explorer. The term
"audit" refers to the verification system that verifies all index values comply
with the input/output format.

A-61750 November 2016 31
Double entry operation A job that has one or more batch or document index fields configured for
Double Entry is used to scan documents like any other job.
When document scanning is complete and the batch is ready for indexing the
operator selects Index>Index1. This changes the Batch Status from Available
to Index1, meaning the batch is ready for the entry of the first set of index
values.
When the first index operator has entered the index values for all documents
they will select Index>Index2. This changes the Batch Status from Index1 to
Index2, meaning the batch is now ready for the entry of the second set of index
values.
The second index operator will not see the values entered by the first index
operator.
If the value entered by the second index operator matches the first value, no
action is required and indexing continues.
If the first and second values do not match, the Entry Resolution dialog box will
be displayed and the correct entry is selected by the operator.
NOTES:
• If the scanning operator is also entering the first set of index values they will
need to select Index>Index1 followed immediately by selecting
Index>Index2 when scanning and the first index operation is complete.
• The comparison of the Index1 and Index2 values is case sensitive. For
example "UPPER CASE" is not a match to "Upper Case". Also leading
zeros are significant. For example, the value 123 is not a match to 0123.
• Double Entry index fields will have all leading and trailing white space
removed before the value is saved.
For example, if the value “ Shipment “ is entered, the value is saved as
“Shipment”. This means that if Index1 is entered as “ Shipment” and
Index2 is entered as “Shipment “ the values will be a match.
32 A-61750 November 2016
Entry resolution The Entry Resolution dialog box is displayed when the second index value
matches the first index value.
The index operator has the following choices:
• Select the entry made by the first index operator by selecting Entry1.
• Select the entry they made by selecting Entry2.
• Enter a new value in the New Entry field is neither entry is correct.
• Cancel and close the Entry Resolution dialog box if they do not want to
make a choice. If the decision is made to not resolve the mismatched index
value on one or more required index fields, the following message will be
displayed if an attempt is made to output the batch, One or more index
fields require Double Entry. You may not output the batch at this time.
Do you wish to enter Index Mode?
If none of the Double Entry fields are required, the Entry Resolution dialog
box will be displayed on output. All Double Entry index fields with entry
mismatches must be resolved before output.
NOTES:
• If a Double Entry field is not a required field then one or both of the index
entries may be left blank and the Entry Resolution dialog box will not be
displayed; there will be no error on output.
• If both Double Entry values are entered and do not match, the operator must
make a selection on the Entry Resolution dialog box before output.
• An index field enabled for Double Entry may not be used to perform a
Database Lookup or be a field verified or populated by Database Lookup.

Input formats An Input Format is a text expression used to audit the user input for a
particular index field. Its purpose is to prevent incorrect data from being
entered into index fields. The syntax of the input format can be one or a
combination of the following formats:
• Text formats
• Number formats
• Time formats
• Fixed string formats
Input Text formats #
#<maxlength>

#(min, max]
#[min, max}
#[min, max]
# — used to represent one of the following number types:
i : integer number that may be positive or negative and does not contain a
decimal point
n : any number, positive or negative and may contain a decimal point.
The value range or precision of the number is limited by the operating system.
The valid number range is typically:
i : -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647
n : 1.7 E ±308 ( 15 digits )
The min and max values define the range of the number value.
The value of min and max must be consistent with the number type. For
example, if the number type is i, both min and max must be a valid integer
number.
The character * may be used in place of min or max and represents an infinite
value or no limit.
The max value must be greater than or equal to the min value.
( : input value must be greater than min.
) : input value must be less than max.

Input fixed string formats “text”
text is any text string. Because the start and end of the text string is defined by
the character “ (double quote), the double quote character is not allowed in the
text string. A text string format is normally used in combination with other input
formats.
Examples
999”-”99”-”999
Description — fixed string (to define a United States Social Security number).
"ID"
Description — fixed string.
Valid input examples
ID
Invalid input examples

“Text”ABC””
Description — this is an invalid input format because it includes two extra “
characters in the format.
Combination input
formats
An input format can consist of multiple formats that are used in combination.
To use multiple formats to define an input format connect the format
expressions together with or without a blank space.
No format expression may follow a format that is of variable length. For
example: A<1,0>”-Comment” is not valid because A<1,0> may be any length.
The format: “Comment-“A<1,0> is valid because the variable length format is
at the end of the combination input format.
Following are valid and invalid combination formats.
Examples
"ID"999999
Description — combined formats: "ID" and 999999.
Valid input examples

Index Default value
specification
Default value expression is a text expression to set the default value for a
particular index field. In default value expression, you need to define the
default value by using one or more predefined tags (i.e., system, barcode/
OCR/mark detection value) or a fixed string. You can also define multiple
options of the default value by connecting tags with the OR keyword.
Tags
<tagname>
<tagname:transformexpression>
tagname is a predefined system, OCR, mark detection or barcode zone data
expression. System data expressions include date, time, Station ID and name,
Job and User name, batch and workgroup path, document and page ID and
Last Value.
transformexpression is used to transform the format of the system or
barcode/OCR value. For example the date is expressed as MMddyy, the
transform expression may change the format to MM/dd/yyyy. See the next
section for a description of transform expression.
Check Double Entry to allow an additional data entry of the index field. For
more information, see the section entitled, "Double Data Entry" elsewhere in
this chapter. A default value may not be entered when using Double Data
Entry; the Field Type must be Single Value and the field may not be Read only
or Hidden.
NOTES:
• The Type must be Single Value.
• The index field may not be read-only, therefore, Read-only is disabled.
• The index field may not be hidden, therefore, Hidden is disabled.
• The default value must be left empty, therefore, Default Value Setup is
disabled.
• If any of the above configuration settings are not correct, the Double Entry
checkbox will be unchecked and disabled.
Fixed string formats "text"
text is a fixed text string. The string delimiter character " (double quote) is not
allowed in the format. A fixed text string format is normally used in combination
with other formats.
Using multiple tags A default value may include more than one tag expression used in
combination. For example you may want the default value to include the date,
time and Station ID separated by a dash. To do this concatenate them
together.
For example:
<sys.date:ddMMyy>"-"<sys.time:hhmmss> "-“ <sys.stationid>
A-61750 November 2016 43
Using the OR keyword The OR keyword may also be included in the default value expression. This
may be useful when a value may not always be present. You may want to set
the default value to the value of a barcode that appears on the document.
For example:
<barcode.UPI ID Number>
If no barcode is found on the document, the index field will be empty. The OR
keyword can be used to provide an alternate value.
For example:
<barcode.UPI ID Number> OR “Barcode not found on document:”
<app.documentid>
As many expressions as needed may be OR’d
Default Value Option #1 OR Default Value Option #2 OR ... OR Default Value
Option #n
The system will check the Default Value Option # one-by-one from left to right,
and use the first valid data to initialize the index data.
Available Tags — the following displays the available default value tags:
NOTE: Barcode/OCR/Mark Detection zones will be displayed at the bottom of
the default value list.
44 A-61750 November 2016
Default value using
LASTVALUE
When lastvalue is selected as the default value, Capture Pro Software
automatically uses the last assigned value for an index field from the previous
document (for document indexes) or previous batch (for batch indexes)
whenever a new document or batch is created. This is useful, for example, in a
backlog application, when you scan folders of documents with the same date.
When you start scanning into a new batch, and no index value is assigned yet,
enter the date once and it remains the same for every new document after that
until you change it.
lastvalue is also useful when performing bar code indexing but not every
document scanned will have a bar code attached to it. For example, a default
value expression of:
<barcode.Patient ID> OR <app.lastvalue>
means that when a new document is scanned, assign the index field value to
the value of the bar code zone "Patient ID" <barcode.Patient ID>. However, if
the document did not have a bar code on it, assign the index field instead to
the value of the previous document OR <app.lastvalue>.
A-61750 November 2016 45
Transform Expressions A Transform Expression is a text expression to format or transform the data of
a particular field into a default or output value. Transform Expressions are used
to define default values and output format for an index field.
Default value specification: when a new batch or document is created, the
index field will be populated with a value based on the default value
specification. The default value specification is entered on the Index tab and
takes the form <tagname> or <tagname:transform expression>. The transform
expression is described below.
Examples:
<sys.date:ddMMyy>
<sys.stationid:[1,5]>
Output format: when a batch is output, the index data for the batch and for
each document in the batch will be reformatted based on the output format.
For instance, a date index with a value of MMddyy can be reformatted to:
MM/dd/yyyy.
The output format is entered on the Index tab and takes the form:
transform expression.
Examples:
ddMMyy
[1, 5]
The syntax can be one or a combination of the following formats:
• Text formats
• Number formats
• Time formats
• Fixed string formats
Transform text formats [start]
[start, end]
[index, ‘delimiter’]
[start; len]
These formats are used to extract a sub-string from the original index value.
[start] — used to extract a sub-string starting at the position start to the end of
the original value.
• If start is a positive number, the start position will be counted from the
beginning of the original value.
• If start is a negative number, the start position will be counted from the end
of the original value.
• If start is 0 or *, the start position will be the beginning of the original value.

• If end is a positive number, the end position will be counted from the
beginning of the original value.
• If end is a negative number, the end position will be counted from the end of
the original value.
• If end is 0 or *, the end position will be the end the original value.
• If the start position is after the end position, the sub-string will have the
reverse order of the original value.

[index, ‘delimiter’] — used to extract the element at the position specified by
index where each element in the index data is separated by the character
delimiter. The first element is index 1.
NOTE: This transform expression is especially useful when assigning data
elements in a PDF417 bar code to different index fields. It is also
useful when assigning different lines of multi-line OCR results to
different index fields. The delimited produced by multi-line OCR is the
carat (^) character.
Examples
[2, ‘^’]
Description — get the 2
nd
element in the multi-line OCR where elements are

Fixed string formats text”
text is any text string. Because the start and end of the text string is defined by
the character “ (double quote), the double quote character is not allowed in the
text string. A text string format is normally used in combination with other input
formats.
Examples
"ID-"[*]"-XX"
Description — output fixed text string of "ID".
Examples
"20051026" ==> "ID-20051026-XX"
Combining Transform
formats
A Transform Expression can consist of multiple formats that are used in
combination. To use multiple formats to define a Transform Expression simply
connect the format expressions together with or without a blank space.
Examples
"Revenue"c<20, 2>
Description — combination with formats "Revenue" and c<20, 2>.
Examples
"123456" ==> "Revenue 123,456.00"
yyyy"/"MM"/"dd"-"HH":"mm":"ss
Description — combined with formats: yyyy, "/", MM, "/", dd, "-", HH, ":", mm, ":"
and ss.
Examples
"20051026080405PM" ==> "2005/10/26-20:04:05"
Input Format: T<yyyyMMddhhmmssTT>
Output formats An Output Format is a text expression to format the data of a particular index
field into an output value. Transform Expressions are used to define the output
format for an index field.
Output format: when a batch is output, the index data for the batch and for
each document in the batch will be reformatted based on the output format.
For instance, a date index with a value of MMddyy can be reformatted to:
MM/dd/yyyy.
The syntax can be one or a combination of the following formats:
• Text formats — see Transform Expressions, Text formats
• Number formats — see Transform Expressions, Number formats
• Time formats — see Transform Expressions, Time formats
• Fixed string formats — see Transform Expressions, Fixed string formats
• Combination formats — see Transform Expressions, Combining

Index tab — Database
Lookup
Database Lookup can be used to populate or validate batch and document
index fields from ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) compliant data
sources. A configuration wizard is used to specify the data source, define how
the lookup is performed and what data is used to populate index files or
validate the contents of index fields. A job setup may contain more than one
Lookup. Each Lookup can be to a different data source and used to populate
or validate selected index fields. Lookups may occur during scanning when the
index value used for the Lookup is a result of a barcode reader or an OCR
action. Each Lookup takes the form: SELECT <table column 1>, <table column
2>, ... <table column n> FROM <data source> WHERE <table column x> =
<index field value> or select: WHERE <table column x> = <index field value>
AND <table column y> = <index field value>.
Configuring Database
Lookup
Configuring Database Lookup starts with defining the batch and document
index fields that will be used by the Lookup. Database Lookups are configured
for each job.
NOTE: Defining index fields in Job Setup has not changed from previous
versions of Kodak Capture Pro Software.
To add or edit a new lookup:
1. Click File>Job Setup. The Job Setup dialog box will be displayed.
2. Select a job setup from the Job Name drop-down list. The settings for the
job setup will be displayed.
3. Select the Index tab.
4. Select the Database Lookup tab. The Lookups table will be displayed with
the following fields: Name, Input Index Field, Output Index Field (Batch)
and Output Index Field (Document) for each Lookup.
54 A-61750 November 2016
5. Click Add. The Database Lookup Wizard will be displayed.
6. Enter the name of your Lookup in the Lookup name field.
7. Click Browse to open the Select Data Source dialog box.
• Select an existing File Data Source or Machine Data Source, or click
New to create a new data source. Depending on the type of data source
you have selected, you will be prompted for additional information.
• Click OK after all required information has been entered.
8. Select the table or file from the Database table drop-down list that contains
the data that will be used to populate or validate the index fields.
A-61750 November 2016 55
9. Click Next to define how you want to do the data lookup.
•Select Validate index fields from Lookup results if you want to verify
one or more index field values that match data in your data source.
•Select Populate index fields from Lookup results if you want to fill in
one or more index fields from the Lookup.
10. Select the index field(s) to be used by the Lookup to find matching values
in the selected database from the Lookup index field drop-down list. This
list contains all defined document and batch index fields. If a single index
field is to be used for the Lookup, it must be in the left column before the
“And”. If two Lookup index fields are provided, then only database records
that contain both values will be matched. At the time of index data entry, if
one value is not known, it may be replaced by the asterisk (*) character.
For more information, see the section entitled, “Using Database Lookup”
later in this chapter.
11. Select the table column(s) to be searched for values matching the selected
Lookup index field from the Lookup table column drop-down list. This list
contains all table column names from the selected database table.
12. For each batch or document index field that you want to populate or
validate, select the database column that contains the desired data. Click
in the column to the right of the index field name and select the database
column from the drop-down list.
56 A-61750 November 2016
13. Click Next to choose the database lookup options.
14. Select the desired Lookup options:
• Disable Lookup: when checked, Lookups will not be performed during
scanning. This may improve performance with large or remote
databases. Lookups will continue to occur in Edit Index mode and when
the batch is output.
• Display multiple lookup results if there is more than one result:
when unchecked, the Multiple Lookup Results table will not be
displayed during scanning. Multiple Lookup results will be resolved in
Edit Index mode, allowing scanning to continue uninterrupted.
• Lookup will overwrite existing index value: when checked, the
Lookup will always populate an index field with the lookup value in the
database, as long as the database entry has a value (i.e., is not empty
or null). If you want users to be able to manually enter data into an index
field that Database Lookup is populating, then this option should be
unchecked.
NOTE: Database Lookup will never overwrite data when the batch is
output.
• Disable Lookup during Output: when checked, no Lookup (populate
or validate) will occur during output. If unchecked, empty fields will be
populated and missing or multiple records will be ignored. Validation will
fail if no matching record is found.
• Maximum multiple results to display: when multiple lookup results
are found, a table of the results will be displayed allowing you to chose
the correct result. The value entered will limit the length of the table.
A-61750 November 2016 57
15. Click Next to test the Lookup.
16. Click Test Query. The Test Query dialog box will be displayed.
17. Enter a valid value for the parameter that is used to perform the Lookup. If
you leave the value blank, the first 25 records in the data table will be
displayed.
18. Click OK.
58 A-61750 November 2016
Using Database Lookup After configuring a job to do a Database Lookup, it is important to understand
when the Lookup will be performed. The following are common scenarios:
During Scanning - Populating
index fields
When Disable Lookup during capture is not checked, Lookups will occur on-
the-fly during scanning.
The Lookup will only take place when the index field that is being used for the
Lookup has a value that was populated during scanning (e.g., as a result of a
barcode, OCR or mark detection zonal read).
During Scanning - Validating
index fields
When Disable Lookup during capture is not checked, Lookups configured for
index field validation only will also occur on-the-fly during scanning.
The Lookup Validation will only take place when the index field that is being
validated has a value that was populated during scanning (e.g., as a result of a
barcode, OCR or mark detection zonal read).
NOTE: When Disable Lookup is not checked, Database Lookups will always
be performed during scanning. Even if the Index Field setup option
Check field during scanning is disabled, the Database Lookup
validation will still be performed.
Edit Index mode After scanning has been performed and the user enters Index mode
(Index>Edit Index Fields), the Lookup will always be performed on a
document whenever the document is navigated to while in indexing mode.
If the index field that is being used for the Lookup already has a value (e.g.,
from barcode, OCR or mark detection zonal read) then the Lookup for a
document will be performed automatically when navigating to the document.
If data is manually being entered in the index field, then the Lookup will be
performed when the user leaves the index field. If the Tab key is used to
navigate away from the index field just entered, the results of populating the
other index fields will be displayed for verification. If the Enter key is used or
one of the other indexing mode function keys (i.e., F9, F10, F11) to navigate to
another document, then the Lookup will be performed and the other index
fields will be populated. However, you will not see the results of the Lookup as
that document is no longer being displayed in indexing mode.
If the Lookup index field is populated using Drag n’ Drop OCR or clicking OCR,
then the Lookup will be performed immediately and the results of populating
the other index fields will be displayed for verification.
A-61750 November 2016 59
If the value being used for Lookup is only partially known, the asterisk
character ' * ' may be used to replace the unknown character(s). The asterisk
character must be the last character. For example, if the Lookup value is a
phone number but only the first four digits are readable, the value "557-3*"
may be entered. All phone numbers beginning with "557-3xx...." will be
retrieved from the database and you may select the correct value.
When a Lookup is based on two values and only one value is known, the
asterisk character may be used in place of the unknown value. For example,
the Lookup is based on Last_Name AND First_Name and the Address will be
looked up. If only the last name is known, it is entered in the index field "Last
Name" and the asterisk character is entered in the index field "First Name". If
only one record is found for the last name entered, the first name and address
will be populated. If multiple records are found for the last name, the Multiple
Results dialog box will be displayed and the correct entry may be chosen.
Batch output Database Lookup only occurs on output if the Disable Lookup on Output
option is not checked. When you click the Output tool, as part of Index field
validation, Database Lookup for populating and validating index fields is
performed immediately before the batch is queued for output processing. If a
Database Lookup is populating index fields, errors will be ignored. If no record
is found or multiple records are found, the current value in the index field will
be unchanged or left empty. If a Database Lookup is validating index fields, an
error will occur if no matching record is found. The batch will not be submitted
for output and the error must be corrected before the batch can be
successfully output.
If a batch is output from the Batch Manager screen or is automatically output
from Job Setup, Database Lookup is performed immediately as part of the
background batch processing. If a Lookup fails, the batch will be put into Index
Error status.
When the batch is opened to correct the error, the document that had the
Lookup failure will be automatically displayed and you can go into Index mode
to correct the indexing problem and re-submit the batch for output processing.

Job Setup:
Output tab
The Output tab is where you set up your output options for your job setup.
• Destination — allows you to make settings for the format of the output,
where to send the output, and how to index it. The Destination options are:
-Credentials: allows you to provide user access credentials for
destination network file shares.
- File (1) and File (2): allows you to select your file format (TIFF, JPEG,
PDF, PNG, etc.) and type of output (e.g., black and white, color/
grayscale).
- System (1) and System (2): allows you to select the System Output
Destination for your job setup.
- E-mail: allows you to setup the software to automatically e-mail the
output.
- Print: allows you to setup the software to automatically print the output.
• Advanced Options — allows you to apply Kodak Capture Pro Software
image processing options to the output.
• Invoke Other Program — allows you to use another software application
on your output.
Credentials Select Credentials when the Destination output location is a network share for
which the Capture Pro operator may not have access.
• Add — displays the Credentials Setup dialog box.
• Enter the server and share name in the format \\server _name\share_name.
The server machine name or the server IP address may be entered.
A-61750 November 2016 61
• Remove — removes the selected credentials.
• Properties — displays the properties of the selected credentials. The user
name and password may be changed.
The Credentials are not shared between job setups. If two jobs setups use the
same network share, the credentials must be added to both job setups. This
allows different job setups to access the same network share using different
credentials.
The credentials will always be used even if the current user has access to the
network share.
The Credentials may be used for File (1), File (2), System (1) and System (2)
output. The use of Credentials is especially useful when using the optional
Capture Pro Network Edition - Remote Output Server. Because the Remote
Output service has no user, the Credentials are used to provide access to
external shares.
Destination options:
File (1) and File (2)
File (1) option — select a file format (TIFF, PDF, JPEG, PNG, etc.) for your
output. Your choice of formats will depend upon your type of output:
• All (black and white and color/grayscale)
• Black and white
• Color/grayscale — when this is selected, a Filter option may be selected to
only output grayscale images or color images.
NOTE: For a description of the file format dialog boxes, see the section
entitled, “Setup options for File (1) and File (2)” later in this chapter.
62 A-61750 November 2016

selected will be displayed.
A-61750 November 2016 63
Selecting ABBYY OCR as
your file format
If you have access to a working ABBYY Recognition Server then this file
format will use your ABBYY Recognition Server to process and OCR
documents in the batch. This is not a new file format. It is an interface to your
ABBYY Recognition Server that allows Capture Pro Software to submit
documents to ABBYY for OCR processing. After OCR processing the
documents are returned to Capture Pro for output.
Every user defined ABBYY workflow will specify an Input folder for documents
to be processed and an Output folder for documents that have been
processed. Capture Pro Software will create the ABBYY XML Tickets that
define what documents are processed by the ABBYY workflow. To keep
batches from multiple workstations running Capture Pro Software separate,
each workstation will create separate sub folders in the appropriate Input
folder.
Before defining an ABBYY file format:
• Make sure the ABBYY Input and Output folders for each defined workflow
are shared and accessible by Capture Pro Software.
• Setup the credentials that will be used by Capture Pro Software to access
the shared Input and Output folders on the ABBYY Recognition Server. For
more information about setting up credentials, see the section entitled,
“Credentials” earlier in this chapter.
1. Select ABBYY OCR from the drop-down list and click Options.
64 A-61750 November 2016
The ABBYY Output Setup dialog box will be displayed.
The Server input folder and the Server output folder fields will display the
path of the ABBYY Recognition Server Input and Output Folders as
defined by the ABBYY workflow.
2. Select either Single Page or Multi-Page as the way to group your image
files in output. Every input (scanned) image file will be a separate output
file.
• If you select Single Page, every image you scan is a separate image
file in output. Therefore, if you scan a page, you will have two separate
image files in output (one for the front and one for the back). If you are
scanning dual stream, you will have four image files in output.
• If you select Multi-Page, the For each drop-down list becomes
available.
- For each: Page - every image for every page scanned becomes
one file. When you open the file, there will be two images, one for
the front and one for the back. If you are scanning dual stream, you
will have four images.
- For each: Document - every page scanned into one document will
become the contents of one file. There may be several (or many)
images in one file.
- For each: Batch — all images scanned into the batch will become
one output file. There may be many images in the output file.
A-61750 November 2016 65
3. OCR will be performed to allow searching for specific text in output files.
Select the OCR language that your scanned documents will contain, for
the most accurate character recognition. If you have a mixed document set
that may contain multiple languages, you can select one or more
secondary languages.
4. The Max time to process Batch is the time in minutes, Capture Pro
Software will wait for ABBYY to process the batch of documents. If ABBYY
has not completed the OCR of the documents within the specified time, the
batch output will fail.

destinations (File(1), File(2)) and uncheck all output types (All, Black &
White, Color/Grayscale). The File(1)/File(2) label will change to No
images to indicate that only the index data will be output.
Each index file (e.g., Batch, Document and Image) provides an Options
button, a Setup button and a Content button.
Options — displays the available index file type:
• Capture Software 6.x — no property setup is required.
• Index to ODBC Database — sends selected batch and/or document index
statistics to an ODBC compliant database.
- Batch index file: one database record per batch containing selected batch
statistics.
- Document index file: one database record per document containing
selected document statistics.
NOTE: This option is not available for Image index.
• HVCS 16-bit Format — this option is not available for a Batch index file.
HVCS 16-bit Format allows you to define the Client number (1-999) and
Application number (1-9).
• Text (delimited) — allows you to select an ASCII or Unicode text file
format.
• XML — no property setup is required.
76 A-61750 November 2016
Setup — displays the Location Setup dialog box which allows you to create an
index file. For more information about this dialog box, see the section entitled,
“Building location and filename formulas using the Location Setup dialog box”
later in this chapter.
Content — displays the Index Content Setup dialog box which allows you to
define the index content. For more information about this dialog box, see the
section entitled, “Using the Index Content Setup dialog box” later in this
chapter.
Index to ODBC Database Use this System Output Destination if you want to save your index data to an
ODBC-compliant data source such as SQL Server and Microsoft Access. On
output, selected batch and document index fields will be used to create a new
record for each document and will be written to the database.
Three additional document index fields that contain the path to where the
document images were stored are provided. If you are storing all images to a
single location, then the Image Location – All field will contain the path of the
images for each document. If you are storing black and white and color / gray
scale images to different locations, then the Image Location – Black & White
and Image Location – Color/Grayscale fields will contain the path for the
respective image types. These fields may be used in your database to
associate the stored image to the document index data.
Supported Output files/Grouping — multi-page, by document, all image
types.
Supported Channels — All, Black and White, Color/Grayscale.
1. Access the ODBC Database system output destination.
• Data Source name: browse to an existing or create a new File or
Machine Data Source.
• Database table: select the drop-down control to display a list of
available tables for the data source selected. Select the table where
you wish to store the index field data.
2. Select the fields you want to populate.
You will notice that the left column of the data grid has been populated
with your current batch and document index field names. There are also
three additional document index fields: Image Location – All, Image
Location – Black & White and Image Location – Color/Grayscale.
3. Select an index field that you want to map to the database table by clicking
in the right column of the same row as the index field.
4. Click on the drop-down arrow to display a list of the available data table
fields and select a field.
• If you checked the All checkbox on the Output, System (1)/(2) tab, the
field Image Location – All will contain the file path and image name.
The file path will made by appending the Output root path with “\batch
name” and “\All”. The image name will be the document sequence
number padded with zeros for a length of eight characters. The file
extension will be determined by the image type you have selected for
output (tif, pdf, txt, etc.). For example:
“C:\BatchesPro\Batch001\All\00000001.tif”.
• If you checked Black & White, the “\All” in the file path will be replaced
with “\BW”.
• If you checked Color / Grayscale, the “\All” in the file path will be
replaced with“\CG”.
A-61750 November 2016 77
Multiple records per
document
A document may contain multiple items where each item will be saved as a
separate record in the database. For example, the following document
contains four items.
If you want to save four records to the database where each record contains
three fields, Description, Quantity and Price:
1. Create an index field for each database field that is to be populated. For
example, Description, Quantity and Price. These index fields will be used
to hold the data for the first item set.
2. Create index fields for the remaining item sets. The index field names must
be the same as the first item set with a number appended. The numbers
must start at 1 and be sequential. For example:
Product Item 2: “Description1”, “Quantity1” and “Price1”
Product Item 3: “Description2”, “Quantity2” and “Price2”
Product Item 4: “Description3”, “Quantity3” and “Price3”
3. Use the Database Lookup Wizard to map the first item set index field
names to the database field names. Only the first item set field names are
used in the Database Lookup Wizard.
Description Quantity Price
Product Item 1 2 28.44
Product Item 2 1 43.12
Product Item 3 5 122.50
Product Item 4 2 12.80

A-61750 November 2016 87
Using the SharePoint
Index Setup wizard
The SharePoint Index Setup provides a quick, easy way of configuring a
Capture Pro Software job setup for use with your existing SharePoint site.
The setup wizard will guide you in connecting to your SharePoint site, creating
index fields to populate SharePoint columns and defining storage paths for
images.
The wizard is aware of SharePoint data types and will recommend index field
formats to ensure properly formatted and ‘in range’ data capture. In the case
of columns of type ‘choice’, the wizard will populate a drop-down list with the
acceptable data values.
The SharePoint Index Setup wizard will guide you through four steps:
Step 1: SharePoint setup:
create, edit and select a
SharePoint connection
1. Select a connection to the SharePoint site where you want to place the
batch images and data. A connection specifies the Host name, Site name
and the Credentials required to access the site. You may provide a
meaningful name to the connection for future use.
If no connections have been defined, the Create a SharePoint connection
dialog box will be displayed.
1. Enter a name for the connection. You will use this name to refer to this
specific SharePoint site.
2. Select Use Windows login and password if you will be accessing the
SharePoint site with your Windows login ID and password.
3. Select Use SharePoint account and enter your User Login ID and
Password to use your SharePoint account credentials to access the
SharePoint site.
4. Enter the Host name. For example: https://my-SharePoint-host.
5. Enter the Site name. If the host name and credentials are correct, you can
click Browse to select the available sites.
88 A-61750 November 2016
NOTES:
• Before browsing a SharePoint site, make sure you have permission to
access all subsites. To check access, first browse to //<server>/_vti_bin/
Lists.asmx. If errors are returned, verify the SharePoint setup and site
permissions.
• To access an Office 365 SharePoint Online account, check SharePoint
Online.
• To access an Office 365 SharePoint Online account you must first install the
SharePoint Server 2013 Client components SDK and the Windows Identity
Foundation. Both components are available at the Microsoft Download
Center.
• To determine the Host Name, use a web browser to browse to your O365
site. In the browser Address bar make note of the URL. The host name is
typically the first part of the URL and ends before /_layouts/...
Step 2. Creating document
index fields based on your
existing SharePoint columns
After selecting one of the available SharePoint lists found on your SharePoint
site and selecting the Document Type, the SharePoint columns will be
displayed.
The Column Type will be shown and the Required checkbox will be checked if
the column is required by your SharePoint list.
By default the Create Index checkbox will be checked for all column types that
may be populated by the automatically created and configured index fields. If
you do not want to populate a specific column or do not require a new Index
field to populate a specific column, then uncheck the Create Index checkbox.
If you want to create an index field for a SharePoint column that is not
checked, check the Create Index check box and then click Edit to configure
the index field. Later you can specify the data that will be stored in a column.
A-61750 November 2016 89
As an example of when to uncheck the Create Index checkbox imagine that
the SharePoint column Full Name is to contain a persons name in the form
‘last name, first name’. Two existing index fields, ‘First Name’ and ‘Last Name’,
will be used to populate this column. The mapping of these two index fields
will be done later, for now uncheck the Create Index checkbox for the ‘Full
Name’ column as an index field ‘Full Name’ is not needed.
An Input Format will be recommended for each new index field based on the
data requirements of the SharePoint column. You do need to change the
recommended format unless you want to further restrict the data range or data
type.
A Default Value will be shown if a default value has been specified in
SharePoint for the column. You can change an existing value or add a default
value if a value is not shown by selecting the drop-down list. A list of
predefined values, including any defined bar code, OCR or mark detection
zones will be displayed. If you require a more complex default value, select
Edit. You can define the default value using one or more predefined tags or
fixed strings.
The Status column will indicate if there are any issues in creating an index
field. Selecting a row containing the indication will display a status message in
the area below the Edit button. This symbol indicates that an index field will
not be created for this SharePoint column. In most cases this is because the
column type may not be automatically created by the application. For example
the column type calculated requires references to other SharePoint columns
that are not known by the application. You can create an index field for this
column by checking Create Index.
Selecting a row containing the indication will display a status message in
the area below the Edit button. The status message will describe the problem
and how it can be resolved. This symbol indicates that there is a problem
creating the index field that must be resolved before continuing. You can
uncheck the Create Index checkbox if the index field is not needed.
To add or edit other index field parameters such as Output format, Substitute
Characters and List (for drop-down index fields), select the row for the
appropriate index field and click Edit.
90 A-61750 November 2016
Step 3. SharePoint setup:
Selecting values to populate
SharePoint columns
Now that you have created index fields, you can use these index fields along
with system values (Job name, Batch name, date, time, etc.), OCR, bar code
mark detection zone values or combinations of these values to populate your
SharePoint columns.
The SharePoint columns that require a value are shown at the top. By default
the index field created in Step 2 is used to populate the column. To select a
different value, select the SharePoint column and select the change control
icon. You can select one or more items from the list, including fixed text strings
enclosed in double quotes. For example "Created : "<DATE_DDMMYY>.
Any SharePoint column that was not included in Step 2 (Create Index
checkbox not checked) will not show a default value. This is because no index
field was created for this column. You can still define a value for this column
using other index fields, system values, OCR, barcode or mark detection zone
values or a combination of these values.
NOTE: The SharePoint Name column will define the name of the file stored in
SharePoint. Step 4 describes how to group images.
If you group by Multi-Page for each document, then each document must
have a unique name. For example Name can be
<DOCUMENT_SEQUENCENUMBER>.
If you group by Single page, each image must have a unique name which
means the Name column must contain a value that will be unique for each
image. For example Name can be
<IMAGE_SEQUENCENUMBER_DOCUMENT>.
A-61750 November 2016 91
Step 4. SharePoint setup:
Defining storage options and
paths
The last step is to specify the format of the images and where you want to
store the images in SharePoint.
The Starting Folder is the path to an existing folder in the current SharePoint
site. The image paths you specify for All, Black & White and Color/Grayscale
will start at this folder. Select Setup to view the available folders.
If you have Black & White and Color/Grayscale images and all the images are
to be stored at the same location using the same image format, select the All
checkbox.
Select the file type (Text, TIFF, PDF, etc.) for your output. Select Options to
configure the file format for the file type you selected. For a description of the
file format dialog boxes see the section entitled, “Setup options for File (1) and
File (2)” in Job Setup: Output tab later in this chapter.
You can specify a folder location for the image in the box below the file type.
Select Setup to build the folder location from available system and field index
values.
NOTE: The Setup buttons allow you to specify the path and folder name in
which to store images (SharePoint documents). Each document must
have a unique path and name or the document may be overwritten. If
versioning is configured, a duplicate filename error may result. Verify
that the SharePoint Name you choose in Step 3 is compatible with the
path and image grouping selection.
If you only have Black & White or Color/Grayscale images or you want to have
different file types for your Black & White and Color/Grayscale images, select
the Black & White and Color/Grayscale checkboxes.
92 A-61750 November 2016
To check-in documents to a SharePoint document library that has versioning
enabled, check the Check in after uploading checkbox. If your SharePoint list
does not have versioning enabled, a warning will be displayed and the box
unchecked. You can check-in documents with a major version number (1.0) or
with a minor version number (0.1). If your SharePoint is not configured to allow
minor version numbering, a warning will be displayed and the major version
number selected.
NOTE: When SharePoint versioning is enabled, you may also need to
configure SharePoint to Require check out.
When checking in, you can include a Check In Comment. The comment may
be a fixed message or click Setup to build a comment using system and index
values. For example: <STATION_NAME>" : " <USER_NAME>.
The predefined index Image Sequence number (batch) can start at a specific
number by checking the Continuous image numbering from checkbox and
providing a start value.
NOTES:
• Checking the Continuous image number from checkbox does not change
the Image Sequence number (document) start value.
• Before starting the wizard it is recommended that you create any barcode
OCR or mark detection zones that you want to include in the output to
SharePoint.
Launch the SharePoint Index Setup wizard by:
• Selecting File>Job Setup, then select the SharePoint Index Setup Wizard
button at the bottom of the Job Setup dialog box.

Using the Info Input
Express Setup wizard
The Kodak Info Input Express Destination Setup provides a quick, easy way of
configuring a Capture Pro software job setup for use with your existing Kodak
Info Input Express server.
The setup wizard will guide you in connecting to your Info Input Express
server, creating index fields required by Info Input Express and selecting the
Info Input Express Activity that will be used to process documents.
On the Job Setup screen, click the Output tab and check the Destination box
Info Input Express Destination box or click the Info Input Express Setup
Wizard button in the bottom right corner of the dialog box.
Step 1. Info Input Express Destination setup: Create, Edit, or Select Info
Input Express connection
The Info Input Express server may be configured for Active Directory or an
Authentication provider (e.g., Windows Live).
94 A-61750 November 2016
If you are setting up an Active Directory authentication
1. Enter a Connection Name. This can be any name you want to use to
identify this connection.
2. Enter the address of the Info Input Express server that Capture Pro
software will be connecting to.
For example: http://my-server.my-domain.com
3. Click OK. The Windows Security dialog box will be displayed.
4. Enter an appropriate User name and password for the Info Input Express
server. These credentials will be used for configuring the Job Setup and for
outputting documents to the Info Input Express server.
5. Click OK.
If you are setting up an Authentication provider (e.g., Windows Live)
1. Enter a Connection Name. This can be any name you want to use to
identify this connection.
2. Enter the address of the Info Input Express server that Capture Pro
software will be connecting to.
For example: http://my-server.my-domain.com
3. Click OK. The Info Input Express Login screen will be displayed.
4. Select an authentication provider and enter the appropriate credentials.
The login account must be a valid Info Input Express account.
5. Click OK.
6. Click Next
A-61750 November 2016 95
Step 2. Creating document index fields based on your existing Info Input
Express index fields
Activities List — the activities list will include all activities (Jobs) defined on
the Info Input Express Server. Select the activity that will receive the Capture
Pro software documents and index values.
After selecting one of the available Info Input Express activities and selecting a
document type, if appropriate, the Activity index fields will be displayed.
Document Type — if the Info Input Express activity supports multiple
document types select the appropriate document type for the documents being
scanned.
Upload Mode — when documents are uploaded to Info Input Express, they
may be held in the index queue for manual indexing or submitted directly for
output from the Info Input Express server.
The Info Input Express index fields for the document type selected, will be
shown in the table.
By default Create, will be checked for all Info Input Express index fields that
may be populated by the automatically created and configured index fields. If
you do not want to populate a specific Info Input Express index field or do not
require a new Index field to populate a specific Info Input Express index field,
then uncheck the Create checkbox.
As an example of when to uncheck the Create checkbox, imagine that the Info
Input Express index field Full Name is to contain a person’s name in the form
‘last name, first name’. Two existing index fields, ‘First Name’ and ‘Last Name’,
will be used to populate this column. The mapping of these two index fields will
be done later, for now uncheck the Create checkbox for the ‘Full Name’
column as an index field ‘Full Name’ is not needed.
An Input Format will be recommended for each new index field based on the
data requirements of the Info Input Express index field. You do need to change
the recommended format unless you want to further restrict the data range or
data type.
96 A-61750 November 2016
You can add a Default Value by selecting one from the drop-down list. A list of
predefined values, including any defined bar code, OCR or mark detection
zones will be displayed. If you require a more complex default value, select
Edit. You can define the default value using one or more predefined tags or
fixed strings.
The Status column will indicate if there are any issues. Selecting a row
containing the Status indication will display a message in the area below
the Edit button. The status message will describe the problem and how it can
be resolved. The Status symbol indicates that there is a problem creating the
index field that must be resolved before continuing. You can uncheck the
Create Index checkbox if the index field is not needed.
To add or edit other index field parameters such as Output format, Substitute
Characters and List (for drop-down index fields), select the row for the
appropriate index field and click Edit.
Step 3. Selecting value to upload to Info Input Express
Now that you have created index fields, you can use these index fields along
with system values (Job name, Batch name, date, time, etc.), OCR, bar code
mark detection zone values or combinations of these values to populate your
Info Input Express index fields.
A-61750 November 2016 97
By default the index field created in Step 2 is used to populate the Info Input
Express index field. To select a different value, select the index field and click
the More icon at the far right. You can select on or more items from the list,
including fixed text strings enclosed in double quotes. For example “Created:
“<DATE_EEMMYY>.
98 A-61750 November 2016
Kodak Info Activate
Destination Setup
The Kodak Info Activate Solution Destination Setup provides a quick, easy
way of configuring a Capture Pro Software job setup for use with your existing
Kodak Info Activate Solution document management system.
The setup wizard will guide you in connecting to your Info Activate site,
selecting the Info Activate job that will be used to process the documents and
creating the index fields required by Info Activate.
The Info Activate Solution Setup Wizard will guide you through three steps:
Step 1. Info Activate Destination setup: Create, Edit, Select Info Activate
connection
Select a connection to the Kodak Info Activate Solution site. A connection
specifies the Host name, Site name and the Credentials required to access the
site. You may provide a meaningful name to the connection for future use.
If no connections have been defined, the Create a SharePoint connection
dialog box will be displayed.
1. Enter a name for the connection. You will use this name to refer to this
specific Info Activate site.
2. If required, enter the credentials to access the Info Activate site.
3. Enter the Host name. For example: https://my-InfoActivate-Host.
4. Enter the Site name. If the host name and credentials are correct, you can
select Browse to select the available sites.
Step 2. Info Activate Destination setup: Create and Configure index fields
After selecting one of the Info Activate jobs found on your Info Activate site, the
Info Activate columns associated with the job will be displayed.
The Column Type will be shown and the Required checkbox will be checked if
the column is required by your Info Activate job.
By default the Create Index checkbox will be checked for all column types that
may be populated by the automatically created and configured index fields. If
you do not want to populate a specific column or if you do not require a new
index field to populate a specific column, then uncheck the Create Index
checkbox. If you want to create an index field for an Info Activate column that
is not checked, check the Create Index check box and then click Edit to
configure the index field. You will have the opportunity later to specify the data
that is to be stored in a column.
As an example of when to uncheck the Create Index check box imagine that
the Info Activate column Full Name is to contain a persons name in the form
‘last name, first name’. Two existing index fields, ‘First name’ and ‘Last Name’,
will be used to populate this column. The mapping of these two index fields will
be done later. For now uncheck the Create Index check box for the Full Name
column as an index field ‘Full Name’ is not needed.
An ‘Input Format’ will be recommended for each new index field based on the
data requirements of the Info Activate column. You do not need to change the
recommended format unless you want to further restrict the data range or data
type.
A ‘Default Value’ will be shown if a default value has been specified in Info
Activate for the column. Use the drop list to change an existing value or add a
default value. A list of default, predefined values, including any defined bar
code, OCR or mark detection zones will be displayed. If you require a more
complex default value, select Edit to define the default value using one or more
predefined tags or fixed strings.
A-61750 November 2016 99
The Status column indicates if there are any issues in creating an index field.
Selecting a row containing the indication ‘!’ will display a status message in the
area below the Edit button. This symbol indicates that an index field will not be
created for this Info Activate column. In most cases this is because the column
type may not be automatically created by the application. For example the
column type ’calculated’ requires references to other Info Activate columns
that are not known by the application. You can choose to create an index field
for this column by checking the Create Index check box.
Selecting a row containing the ‘!’ indication will display a message in the area
below the Edit button. The status message will describe the problem and how
it may be resolved. This symbol indicates that there is a problem creating the
index field that must be resolved before continuing. You can uncheck the
Create index check box if the index field is not needed.
To add or edit other index field parameters such as Output format, Substitute
Characters and List (for drop down index fields) select the row for the
appropriate index field and select Edit.
Step 3. Info Activate Destination setup: Selecting values to populate
SharePoint
Now that you have created index fields, you can use these index fields along
with system values (Job name, Batch name, date, time, etc.), bar code, OCR
or mark detection zone values, or a combination of these values to populate
your Info Activate columns.
The Info Activate columns that require a value are shown at the top. By default
the index field created in Step 2 is used to populate the column. To select a
different value, select the Info Activate column and select the ‘…’ change icon.
You may select one or more items from the list, including fixed text strings
enclosed in double quotes. For example “Created : “<DATE_DDMMYY>.
Any Info Activate column that was not included in Step 2 (Create Index check
box not checked) will not show a default value. This is because no index field
was created for this column. You may still define a value for this column using
other index fields, system values, OCR, bar code or mark detection zone
values or a combination of these values.
NOTE: Run the setup wizard again, when any future changes are made to the
content type of the Info Activate document library.
Before starting the wizard it is recommended that you create any barcode and
OCR zones that you want to include in the output to Info Activate.
Launch the Info Activate Solution Destination Setup Wizard by:
1. Selecting File>Job Setup.
2. Select the Output tab.
3. Select the Info Activate Solution destination.
4. Select the Info Activate Solution Setup Wizard button at the bottom of
the dialog box.
100 A-61750 November 2016
Advanced options When you select Advanced Options the following options are available:
Auto-Deletion — deletes a front or back image when the image size is lower
than the values specified on the Auto-Deletion dialog box.
Auto-Orientation — analyzes the content of your documents and orients each
document so it is right-reading.
Background Color Smoothing — using this option for documents or forms
with a background color will help produce images with a uniform background
color.
Image Edge Fill — fills unwanted black or white edges on an image, thus
producing a cleaner image.
Image Stamping — stamps the image number on the front and/or back sides
of each page.
Rotate — rotates all images in a batch 0, 90, 180 or 270 degrees as selected.
Stitch — merges all images of a document into a single output file. Images
must be the same width and all but the last image must be the same length.
Split — converts the front and back image into multiple images. Images must
be the same type (color/grayscale or black and white).
To access the image processing options:
1. Click Image Processing under Advanced Options on the Output tab.
2. Select the desired image processing option and configure as desired.
NOTE: The sections that follow provide detailed information about each
option.
A-61750 November 2016 101
Auto-Deletion The Auto-Deletion option allows you to set options for automatically deleting
an image with no content or very busy pages (e.g., the back of a form which
has a lot of explanatory text on it). Auto deletion settings are specified
independently for front and back images.
If you are scanning color, grayscale and/or black and white image types, auto
deletion settings are also set independently. Therefore, you can choose to
delete only the selected image type.
When using Auto-Deletion, it is recommended that you scan some
representative documents which you consider to be blank or almost blank, by
using the Test option. The results of the Test option will help you determine if
you should set the auto delete values using the Image size (byte) is option or
the Image content (%) option.
• Image size (byte) is Above — select this option if you want to delete pages
with a lot of busy, explanatory content on them. For example, if you are
scanning documents with similar content (e.g. insurance forms) on the front
and back page, and the front page has content you need to keep, but the
back page contains instructions on how to file a claim (that you do not need
to keep), enter the number of bytes that you want Capture Pro Software to
delete any image file greater than that amount. Any image that is more than
this value will be considered too large and will be deleted.
• Image size (byte) is Below — select this option if you want to delete pages
with no content or very little content. Enter the number of bytes that Capture
Pro Software will consider the image size to be blank. Any image that is less
than this value will be considered blank and will be deleted
.
• Image content (%) is Above — this option is similar to the Image size
(byte) Above option except that you enter a percentage value that Capture
Pro Software will consider the image to have too much content. Any image
more than this will be deleted
.
102 A-61750 November 2016
• Image content (%) is Below — this option is similar to the Image size
(byte) Below option except that you enter a percentage value that Capture
Pro Software will consider the image to be blank or too little content. Any
image that is less than this value will be considered blank and will be
deleted. Use this setting when there are blank pages.
NOTES:
• When selecting the Image size (byte) option, other factors such as
resolution, compression, etc., will impact the image size.
•The Image content (%) option only looks at the percentage of information
on the image and therefore, is a more consistent and dependable option to
use when images may vary in size, resolution, compression, etc.
Never — click Never, if you do not want to delete any images.
Auto-orientation This option analyzes the content of your documents and orients each
document so it is right-reading.
Auto orientation does not work with all character sets. It is recommended that
you scan some test documents to ensure the document will be oriented
correctly.
• You can select Enable auto-orientation on front or Enable auto-
orientation on back.
NOTE: Auto-orientation will be performed during the output creation
process.
A-61750 November 2016 103
Background color smoothing This option can be used for documents or forms with a background color to
help produce images with a uniform background color.
The smoothing options can be applied to the front and/or back of a page.
You can select a smoothing type of:
None — no background smoothing will be performed; image will not be
changed.
Automatic — the background color(s) will be selected and smoothed
automatically.
Change to White — identifies up to three background colors and substitutes
each one with white. If you select this option, the Apply to drop-down box will
be available allowing you to select:
• Predominant: only the most common background color will be changed to
white.
• Neutral: only the neutral background color(s) will be changed to white.
• All: the background color(s) will be changed to white.
Aggressiveness — controls the amount of variability that can be corrected in
the background color(s). Select a value from 1 to 20.
Before Background Color
Smoothing
After Background Color
Smoothing
104 A-61750 November 2016
Preview — opens the Background Color Smoothing Preview dialog box, which
allows you to compare the original image against the changed image and alter
your settings.
Image Edge Fill This option allows you to fill and clean up the unwanted edges on a scanned
image by covering the area in Black or White (as selected). This option can be
applied to the front and/or back of an image.
You may want to use this option if you have pages with punch holes or ragged
images that you want to clean up.
• Select a value in the Top, Left/Right and/or Bottom area(s) from each side
of the scanned image to be filled in 1/100ths of an inch, or select All sides
match to fill in the same amount on all sides.
NOTE: When using Image Edge Fill, be careful not to enter a value too large
as it could fill in image data that you want to keep.
Original: 3-hole punch without
Image Edge Fill
Image with 37/100
th
of an inch:
fills half of the hole. Value is
not enough.
Image with 62/100
th
of an inch:
fills the entire hole and keeps
all text. Value is good.
Image with 150: fills the entire
hole AND fills some text. Value
is too large.
A-61750 November 2016 105
Image Stamping Image stamping inserts information such as time, date, various sequence
numbers and job or batch name into the scanned image. The Image Stamping
dialog box allows you to place this information at various locations on the front
and/or back of the page. The front and back of a page can be configured
separately.
Front/Back: Stamp string — click Setup to display the Stamp String Setup
dialog box. You can combine one or more items from the list to build a stamp
string formula. For more information, see “Building location and filename
formulas using the Location Setup dialog box” in the “Setup option for File (1)
and File (2)” section earlier in this chapter.
Location: Top or Bottom — places the stamp on the top or bottom of the
image as selected.
Location: Left, Middle or Right — places the stamp on the left, middle or right
of the image as selected.
Margin — select a margin size in 1/100ths of an inch to indicate how far from
the Top, Bottom, Left or Right margin you want the stamp to be placed.
Font size — select the font size of the stamp: 16 or 18 point.
Bold — enable this checkbox for bold print.
Copy front to back — if you want the same setup values on the back as the
values you set up on the front, enable this checkbox.
106 A-61750 November 2016
Setting up a stamp string To setup an image stamp string, do the following:
1. Click Setup on either the Front or Back section. The Stamp String Setup
dialog box will be displayed.
2. Select the items from the list of available Stamp String formulas that you
want to include in your stamp string. For each item you select, click Add
Item.
NOTES:
•The Add leading zeros and Number length fields become available
when you select the following: Document ID, Page Sequence
Number, Image Sequence Number, Image Address Level 1, Image
Address Level 2, or Image Address Level 3. When selecting Page
Sequence Number or Image Sequence Number you will also have
the option to specify when the page or image sequence number should
be reset and the value to which it should be reset.
• To remove an item from the stamp string formula, click Delete Item.
• To delete an entire formula from the stamp string formula, click Delete
Formula.
3. When finished defining your stamp string, click OK.
4. Define the location of the stamp string by specifying the placement of the
image stamp on either side of the page. Margin defines the size of the
border between the text and adjacent page edge(s), either from the right or
left edge horizontally and top or bottom edge vertically. If Middle is
selected, the margin is only applied to the vertical dimension.
5. Select the desired font size: 16 or 18.
A-61750 November 2016 107
6. If bold type is desired, click Bold.
7. Select Copy front to back if you want to duplicate the same stamp string
specified on the front page on both sides, otherwise proceed to setup the
back stamp string.
8. When finished, click OK.
NOTE: Kodak Capture Pro Software makes no attempt to fit text into the
image stamping region. If an image stamp is larger than the allocated
region, excess text will be truncated. Image stamp size is difficult to
predict and depends on the complexity of the formula, font size,
allocated margins and the string itself. It is recommended that a test
scan(s) is performed to be sure that the specified string is not too large
to fit into the stamping region.
Rotate This option allows you to select the desired rotation of 0, 90, 180 or 270
degrees. The degree of rotation applies to all images in the batch.
108 A-61750 November 2016
Stitch When this option is selected, all the images of the document will be merged
into a single, continuous file.
NOTE: To use this effectively, all images must be the same width and length. A
page setup can be used to alter the image width. All images except the
last image must be the same length.
Split When this option is selected, the front and rear image will be converted into
multiple (up to 6) images. Images must be the same type (color/grayscale or
black and white).
Split Page or Image — enable this checkbox to activate the Split option.
Number of resultant images — choose from 2 to 6 images that you want to
split from the drop-down list.
A-61750 November 2016 109
Split image if width is between — use the two drop-down lists to select a
range of widths for the page or image. If the page width falls within this range,
it will be split. If either the front or back side falls outside the range, neither side
will be split.
Front and/or Back — enable this checkbox for Front and/or Back to activate
the split. A graphic will be displayed showing your selection. For example, if
you enable both checkboxes, the two book icons will appear with a red "X" on
each page:
NOTE: When using a simplex-only scanner, only select Front. Selecting both
Front and Back will result in no split.
Output order — the page order will be displayed in this field. Click on each
image segment in the order you want the images to be output. As you click on
an image segment, the red "X" disappears.
Any image segment that is still marked with a red "X" will be deleted and not
sent to output. This option might be useful for the last page of a pamphlet that
is always blank.
Reset Order — any order that you originally specified will be deleted and you
can reorder your images.
110 A-61750 November 2016
Invoke Other
Program option
The Invoke Other Program option on the Output tab allows you to use an
application other than Kodak Capture Pro Software to make changes to your
output. Select the checkbox to enable this option.
Program Name — enter the application name. If needed, click Browse to
search for the application.
Parameters — parameters can be any combination of literal text strings and
variable values which are determined at the time a batch is output. Variable
values are defined by clicking Select.
Literal text strings can be typed into the Parameters text box or in the
Parameter formula window of the Parameter Setup dialog box. Literal strings
should be separated by spaces. Literal strings which include spaces should be
enclosed in double quotes.
A-61750 November 2016 111
To add a variable parameter:
1. Click Select to display the Parameter Setup dialog box to setup variable
parameters.
2. Select the parameter you want to add from the list of Available parameters.
3. Click Add Item.
NOTES:
• You can click Delete Item to delete a parameter from the Parameter
formula, or delete the entire parameter formula by clicking Delete Formula.
• You can also enter literal strings in the Parameter Formula dialog box.
Variable parameters are added to the formula enclosed in <> marks (e.g.
<BATCH_NAME>).
When the batch is output, the actual value will be substituted and the value
passed as a parameter.
For example, the parameter formula <BATCH_NAME> one two "three four"
produces the following four parameters:
/BATCH_NAME=Batch99999
one
two
three four
Omit “/tagname=” identifiers on parameters — by default, parameters will
be passed to the invoked application preceded by a string of the form /
tagname= where tagname identifies the parameter type (e.g. /
BATCH_NAME=Batch001). Selecting this option will omit this identifier and the
program will have to know the number and sequence of passed parameters in
order to interpret them properly.
For example, if Omit “/tagname=” identifiers on parameters was selected,
the formula: <BATCH_NAME> one two "three four" would produce the
following parameters:
Batch99999
one
two
three four
112 A-61750 November 2016
Create output file and send its path as parameter — selecting this option
generates an XML file which contains the parameters. The path to this file will
be passed to the invoked program as the only parameter.
Location — click Setup to specify the path formula and file name for the
output file.
In the XML file, string literals will be in a PARAM_LIST element which contains
one PARAM element per literal.
Variable parameters will be contained in elements which identify the parameter
type (like <BATCH_NAME>).
A schema file KCCustomApplication.xsd (see Appendix D) can be used to
validate resultant XML files and as a reference during code development.
For example, the location and file name formula
<EXPORT_PATH>"\"<BATCH_NAME>"\" and Parameters.XML generated the
parameter C:\BatchesPro\Batch001033841\Parameters.XML.
The Parameters.XML file had the following content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>
<KCCustomApplication xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="KCCustomApplication.xsd">
<PARAM_LIST>
<PARAM>one</PARAM>
<PARAM>two</PARAM>
<PARAM>three four</PARAM>
</PARAM_LIST>
<BATCH_NAME>Batch001033841</BATCH_NAME>
</KCCustomApplication>
A-61750 November 2016 113
Remote Output
(Network Edition
only)
Remote Output allows you to transfer batches to a Remote Output server for
processing. This is most useful for processing intensive jobs which may slow
down capture operations, such as jobs which produce searchable PDF files.
Remote Output server configuration is contained in a server map which is
configured as part of the Kodak Capture Pro Software installation (see the
Administrator’s Guide for Network Edition).
One or more optional Remote Output servers may be present in a Network
Edition configuration.
A job setup can be configured to always send batches to a particular output
server (Manual Select) or distribute jobs among output servers in a “round
robin” fashion (Auto Select).
•If the Auto Select option is selected, batches will be assigned in rotation to
available output servers. No load balancing will occur.
•If the Manual Select option is selected and the server is “down”, an error
will be returned to the application and the user will have to manually select
another server or change the job setup to Auto Select.
When selecting Remote Output servers, it is important to remember that
servers must be properly configured to process any jobs sent to them. Server
configuration is not within the scope of the Network Edition installation. For
example, if a job uses the Invoke Other Program option, the invoked program
must be installed and configured on the output server. This applies to all types
of output including those which rely on external databases or other System
Output Destinations.

Kodak i5000 and i1800
Series Scanners
In addition to the Scanner Options previously described, the Kodak i5000
Series Scanners and the Kodak i1800 Series Scanners provide the following
options.
Image Address Options
• Delete level 3 pages: this counter is associated with the numeric portion of
the batch name. Whenever a level 3 page is scanned, Capture Pro Software
will automatically create a new batch and discard the level 3 page.
• Delete level 2 pages: this counter is associated with the document number
of the current batch. Whenever a level 2 page is scanned, Capture Pro
Software will automatically create a new document.
• Set image address on new batch: sets the image address value when a
new batch is manually created in Capture Pro Software. This option does
not affect the image address when batches are automatically created in
Capture Pro Software (e.g., blank page separation, bar code separation). By
default, the image address default value for a new batch will be as follows:
- Fixed field: the default value as defined in this dialog box.
- Level 3: the batch number portion of the Capture Pro Software batch
name (e.g., a value of 19 if the batch name is Batch019).
- Level 2: Capture Pro Software document number for the first document
in the batch.
- Level 1: 0 if the image address format is level 2 or level 3.
1 if the image address format is level 1.
A-61750 November 2016 117
• Set image address on scanner start: automatically resynchronizes the
scanner image address with the current scan batch in Capture Pro Software
every time the scanner is started. The image address value is set to what
the image address should be for the next scanned page. This option is only
available when Set image address on new batch is enabled.
When the scanner image address is resynchronized, the image address
fields will be set to the following:
- Fixed field: will not change from the current scanner value.
- Level 3: the batch number portion of the Kodak Capture Pro Software
batch name.
- Level 2: the current Capture Pro Software document number.
- Level 1: the number of pages in the current document if the image
address format is level 2 or level 3. Number of pages in the current
document + 1 if the image address format is level 1.
NOTE: When simultaneous scanning, Set image address at scanner
start is not recommended. This is because the number of pages
in the current document is not correctly maintained by Capture
Pro Software when simultaneous scanning. As a result, the level
1 portion of the image address can easily get out of sync.
Fixed field value — this is a static field containing ASCII text that does not
increment or change during scanning. Enter the text in the field or click Setup,
which displays the Fixed Field Value Configuration dialog box.
OK — saves your settings and closes the Job Setup dialog box.

same on all levels.
NOTE: For information on the Image Address Options see the next section
entitled, “Image Address tab”.
A-61750 November 2016 121
Image Address tab Image addressing allows you to create counters within your job setup for each
batch, document and page. These counters create a unique image address for
each image as it is being scanned. Depending on your settings, the image
address will contain an identification of its batch, its document, and its own
number within the batch, along with a fixed value, such as a date or location
name.
Template — up to four fields can be defined. The maximum length for each
image address field is 9. The combined length of all image address fields
cannot exceed 27 characters. This results in a maximum image address length
of 30 characters (with a period (.) delimiter between each field). Enter a width
value of 0 to disable an image address field. The default setting of all image
fields widths set to 0 will disable image addressing in the scanner.
The i800 Series Scanners have more options available for image addressing
schemes with the following guidelines:
• Only one field may be assigned to a level. You are only allowed one level 1
field, one level 2 field, and one level 3 field.
• There is no requirement to have any level field.
Field width — there are four image address fields that make up the image
address format:
• Fixed — a static field containing ASCII text that does not increment or
change during scanning.
• Level 3 — a counter that is associated with the numeric portion of the batch
name within Capture Pro Software. Whenever a level 3 page is scanned,
Capture Pro Software will automatically create a new batch and discard the
level 3 page.
• Level 2 — a counter that is associated with the document number of the
current batch in Capture Pro Software. Whenever a level 2 page is scanned,
Capture Pro Software will automatically create a new document.
122 A-61750 November 2016
• Level 1 — a counter that is associated with the page number of the current
document in Capture Pro Software. Whenever a level 1 page is scanned,
Capture Pro Software will attach the images for the page to the current
document.
After Level 3, After Level 2, After Level 1 — for each image address level,
specify the image level that will be assigned to the next scanned page.
Possible values are Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3. Level 1 is the default.
For example:
For health claim processing, every page scanned (the claim form) is its own
document. There is, however, the occasional claim form that will be
accompanied by some form of correspondence or supporting documentation.
For this application, you would define a Level 2 image address with the
following rules:
• Level 2 followed by Level 2
• Level 1 followed by Level 1
This will effectively create a new document in Capture Pro Software for every
page scanned. When the exception claim form needs to be scanned, the
scanner operator presses the Level key on the scanner control panel to set
the image address level to Level 1 after scanning the claim form. Then the
corresponding pages are scanned. Once complete, the Level key is pressed
again to set the image address level back to level 2 for regular scanning.
Image Address format — the image address can be printed on the original
documents as they are transported through the scanner. You can define the
format in which the image address is printed. Select one of the following
formats:
• Display leading zeros (e.g., 004.003.002.001)
• Suppress leading zeros (e.g., 004. 3. 2. 1)
• Compress leading zeros (e.g., 004.3.2.1)
A-61750 November 2016 123
Image Address options The Image Address Options appear on all tabs. You can enable the following
options:
• Delete level 3 pages: this counter is associated with the numeric portion of
the batch name. Whenever a level 3 page is scanned, Capture Pro Software
will automatically create a new batch and discard the level 3 page.
• Delete level 2 pages: this counter is associated with the document number
of the current batch. Whenever a level 2 page is scanned, Capture Pro
Software will automatically create a new document.
• New batch starts with counter equal to: sets the sequential counter inside
the scanner whenever a batch is manually created in Capture Pro Software.
This option does not affect the sequential counter when batches are
automatically created in Capture Pro Software (e.g., blank page separation,
bar code separation). When enabled, specify the starting value.
• Set image address on new batch: sets the image address value when a
new batch is manually created in Capture Pro Software. This option does
not affect the image address when batches are automatically created in
Capture Pro Software (e.g., blank page separation, bar code separation). By
default, the image address default value for a new batch will be as follows:
- Fixed field: the default value as defined in this dialog box.
- Level 3: the batch number portion of the Capture Pro Software batch
name (e.g., a value of 19 if the batch name is Batch019).
- Level 2: Capture Pro Software document number for the first document
in the batch.
- Level 1: 0 if the image address format is level 2 or level 3. 1 if the image
address format is level 1.
With sufficient privileges, the user can override the default image address
value when the batch is created.
• Set image address on scanner start: automatically resynchronizes the
scanner image address with the current scan batch in Capture Pro Software
every time the scanner is started. The image address value is set to what
the image address should be for the next scanned page. This option is only
available when Set image address on new batch is enabled.
When the scanner image address is resynchronized, the image address
fields will be set to the following:
- Fixed field: will not change from the current scanner value.
- Level 3: the batch number portion of the Kodak Capture Pro Software
batch name.
- Level 2: the current Capture Pro Software document number.
- Level 1: the number of pages in the current document if the image
address format is level 2 or level 3. Number of pages in the current
document + 1 if the image address format is level 1.
NOTE: When simultaneous scanning, Set image address at scanner
start is not recommended. This is because the number of pages in
the current document is not correctly maintained by Capture Pro
Software when simultaneous scanning. As a result, the level 1
portion of the image address can easily get out of sync.
124 A-61750 November 2016
Fixed field value — specifies the default value for the fixed field portion of the
image address. You can either type in the fixed field value (enclosed in double
quotes “”) or select Setup to access the Fixed Field Value Configuration dialog
box.
The left side of the dialog box contains a list of pre-defined values that you can
use to build the fixed field formula. The fixed field value can consist of one or
more pre-defined values as specified in the formula. The total number of
characters in the formula cannot exceed the defined length for the fixed field.
To set up a fixed field formula:
1. Select a pre-defined value from the list box.
2. Click Add Item.
3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 until the formula is complete.
NOTE: Select Delete Item to delete the last pre-defined value that was added.
Delete Formula deletes the entire Fixed field formula. You can also
use a special substring syntax, enclosed within square brackets, to
retain a certain portion of a pre-defined value (e.g., [1,4]).

Enable patch — enables the patch code reader. This option must be checked
to enable any other options on this tab.
Level 2 patch — creates a new document (whether it reads your document
with a patch on it or a Level 2 patch sheet).
Level 3 patch — creates a new batch (whether it reads your document with a
patch on it or a Level 3 patch sheet).
Transfer patch — assigns a patch level to the next document (after the
Transfer patch sheet). Select one of the following options from the drop-down
list: Level 2 or Level 3. The Transfer patch will be treated as Level 0.
Feature patch — Patch Types 1, 4 and 6 can be used by the scanning
application for post-scan image control (they are not used for image
addressing). For example, use these patch types for workflow control or
changing between black and white and color/grayscale imaging.
Toggle patch — use the drop-down list to select which patch heads/readers
you want to use. Each patch head/reader can be turned on and off
independently. The default is for all patch heads/readers to be turned on. This
option is only available when the scanner is in Image Address mode. The
options are: Disabled, Both sides and Front side.
Patch confirmation tone — the confirmation tone signals that the scanner
has recognized a patch. The default is no confirmation tone.

3 Patch Setup
About patch codes Kodak Capture Pro Software allows you to separate pages and documents on
your scanner with pages containing patch codes. It also allows you to create
attachments to your documents. Before you can use patch code separators,
you must set up your job to recognize patch codes.
Capture Pro Software supports three types of patch codes:
You can define the separation method for each patch code. This is useful for
existing jobs where Patch 2 codes were used as document separator pages
instead of Patch T codes. You can also define a patch code to create an
attachment. For new jobs and for compatibility reasons, it is recommended that
you use patch codes the way they were designed to be used.
• For information on patch code reading when color or grayscale scanning,
see the section entitled, “Using separators when color scanning” in Chapter
4.
• For information on using patch codes on Kodak i800 and i1800 Series
Scanners, see the section entitled, “Job Setup: Scanner-specific settings” in
Chapter 2. When patch code reading is enabled on a Kodak i800/i1800
Series Scanner, patch code reading with Kodak Capture Pro Software is not
allowed. Conversely, when patch code reading is enabled with Kodak
Capture Pro Software, patch code reading on Kodak i800/i1800 Series
Scanners is not allowed.
Patch Type Function Patch kept?
Patch 2 Separates pages into documents yes
Patch 3 Separates documents into batches no
Patch T

no
130 A-61750 November 2016
Setting up patch
codes
Patch 2, 3 or T code
separation
The Patch 2, 3 or T separation settings under the Capture tab on the Job
Setup dialog box allow you to set up Kodak Capture Pro Software to recognize
patch codes as separators between batches or documents on your scanner.
Each patch has its separate window, but the commands are the same in all
three windows. You can set up the system to recognize all three patch codes
or just certain ones.
NOTES:
•If the Detect patch check boxes are disabled in all three Patch Code
windows, the patch reader is disabled.
• If you have checked Detect patch on any of the Separation by Patch dialog
boxes, Kodak Capture Pro Software checks each page for the type of patch
code you selected.
Detect patch — when checked, enables the Detect patch option.
• Alternatively search on 180 rotated images — if patch code reading is
unsuccessful, this option rotates the image and searches for the patch code
again. This option helps prevents a patch code read failure because a page
was scanned upside down.
NOTE: The software always searches for patch codes in the first 4 inches
(10 cm) of the top of the image after rotation, deskew, and cropping
(if any). If a patch is vertical, the image should be rotated with the
Software rotation option defined on the Page Setup dialog box.
• Alternatively search on back — if patch code reading is unsuccessful, this
option searches the back side of the document for the patch. If the software
detects a patch code on the front side, it will not look for a patch code on the
back side.
A-61750 November 2016 131
What to do if patch code is detected — select one of these options:
• Batch separation: creates a new batch with a patch code.
- Patch 3 is normally used to create a new batch.
- Typically the page containing a patch code for batch separation should not
have any content. Therefore, the software discards the patch code page;
the next page scanned becomes the first page of the first document in the
batch.
• Document separation: creates a new document with a patch code.
- Patch 2 is normally used to create a new document and keep the image of
the page containing the patch code.
- Patch T is normally used to create a new document and delete the image
of the page containing the patch code.
• Create attachment: creates an attachment with a patch code.
• Delete page: deletes the page containing the patch code that started the
new document or attachment. This option is important when you use inserts
used for document separation purposes that do not contain any other
information.
• Rotate document based on patch: rotates the image containing the patch
code so the patch code is located horizontally on top of the page. All images
in the document will be rotated. This option only works when the
Alternatively search on 180 rotated images option is enabled.
-The Rotate document based on patch option does not work when the
patch code separator page is discarded.
OK — closes the dialog box and saves your settings.

4 Bar Code, OCR and Mark Detection Setup
Overview To use bar codes, OCR zones or mark detection zones for indexing in your job
setup, do the following:
• Select the Page Setup that will be used when scanning into this kind of job.
• Edit the job setup.
• Scan a page to use as a template for defining your bar code, OCR or mark
detection zone.
• Define where on the template image the bar code, OCR or mark detection
zone will be found.
• Specify how a correct bar code, OCR or mark detection zone value will be
recognized.
• Define the page(s) where you want to apply the zones.
In addition to using bar codes or OCR zones for separation in your job setup
you must do the following:
• Set up the actions connected to that bar code or OCR zone (e.g., create a
new batch, create a new document in the current batch or populate one or
more index fields).
This chapter explains these steps, except for populating index fields.
Populating index fields can be found in Chapter 2, Job Setup.
134 A-61750 November 2016
Using bar codes Bar coding is a method of encoding data in a machine-readable code
consisting of a parallel arrangement of dark and light elements. The light
elements are referred to as “spaces” and the dark elements as “bars.” The
bars and spaces are either wide or narrow. The combination of wide and
narrow bars and spaces is a bar code. Each bar code begins with a “start”
character and ends with a “stop” character. The industry uses bar codes to
provide more accurate and efficient data input than is possible using manual
data entry.
Bar code setup allows you to define the:
• name of the bar code
• data mask or syntax
• physical location where to find the bar code (in a zone or anywhere on the
image)
• bar code type (width, height, quality and confidence level)
• level where you can find the bar code (batch, document or page)
• source for capturing the bar code
Follow these tips to maximize the performance of Kodak Capture Pro
Software:
• Choose the Page Setup name that you will use for scanning before you
define a bar code zone.
• Make sure that all glass surfaces (the glass guides or glass over the camera
area) within the scanner transport are clean. Dirty surfaces cause poor read
rates.
• Use a higher resolution to obtain better read rates (300 vs. 200 dpi).
• Check the positioning of the zone around the bar code; it can affect the
confidence level of a bar code. Leave at least a 1/4-inch of space around a
bar code to guarantee that the full bar code will always fall within the zone.
Move the zone around the bar code until the highest confidence rate is
achieved.
• The minimum bar code height specification is 40 pixels. At 200 dpi, 40 pixels
is 20/100
ths
of an inch; at 300 dpi, 40 pixels is 13/100
ths
of an inch. For bar
codes smaller than 40 pixels in height, specify a bar code height in the Bar
Code Zone Setup dialog box.
• Verify that the correct bar code type and bar code orientation are selected in
the Bar Code Zone Setup dialog box.
• If bar codes are on documents with color backgrounds, you may need to
lower the threshold value in the Bar Code Zone Setup dialog box for
improved read rates.
• If possible, use medium or low density bar codes. High density bar codes
may require a lower threshold value in the Bar Code Zone Setup dialog box.
• To achieve better read rates on more difficult bar codes, lower the Quality
level in the Bar Code Zone Setup dialog box.
• When using Anywhere bar code zones, use a PC with a 2.8 GHz processor
or higher. This will ensure Kodak Capture Pro Software’s ability to scan at
scanner rated speeds when bar code reading is enabled.

code setup. You must have at least one image in this list before you can define
a bar code, OCR or mark detection zone.
NOTE: For typical job setups using bar code zones, OCR or mark detection
zones, a single image is all that is required. Multiple images are
needed for job setups that have batch and document header sheets,
each containing bar code, OCR or mark detection information.
Zones — displays the name of a bar code, OCR or mark detection zone.
When you click on one of the zones listed, the image in the display area will
highlight where the zone is located on the image. Any bar code, OCR or mark
detection zone that you defined will be displayed on the current image, even if
you defined those zones using a different image.

want, you can paste this bar code, OCR or mark detection to another location
on the same image by left-clicking on the zone and dragging it to the new
location.
Copy — copies the selected bar code, OCR or mark detection. Copy is also
useful when several bar code, OCR or mark detection zones of the exact same
properties (except for location) are required. After defining the first zone, use
the Paste option to duplicate it. After creating each duplicate zone, move it by
left-clicking on the zone and dragging it to the desired location.
Zone properties — opens either the Bar Code Zone Setup,
OCR Zone Setup or the Mark Detection Zone Setup dialog box
which allows you to view the properties of the selected bar code,
OCR or mark detection zone.
Select pages to apply for all zones — opens the Zone Pages
Setup dialog box which allows you to select the page or pages to
apply the defined OCR, bar code and mark detection zones. For
more information see the section entitled, “Zone Pages Setup
dialog box” later in this chapter.
Delete selected zone — allows you to delete a bar code, OCR
or mark detection zone. A confirmation box will be displayed to
verify your choice.
138 A-61750 November 2016
Paste — pastes a copied or cut bar code, OCR or mark detection zone into the
current image. The Paste option appears on this menu only if you have copied
an image or text string into the clipboard. When pasting a bar code, OCR or
mark detection, the zone coordinates from the saved zone are used in
determining the location of the zone. If the pasted zone is in the wrong
location, you can left-click on the zone and move it to the desired location.
Paste is useful in conjunction with Copy when copying bar code zone
properties to another image containing bar codes in the job.
Test Zone and Test All Zones — attempts to read all or the selected bar code,
OCR or mark detection zones for a value. The Bar Code, OCR and Mark
Detection Values dialog box will be displayed.
This dialog box provides the following information:
• Label indicates the name assigned to the bar code, OCR or mark detection
zone on the Bar Code (OCR/Mark Detection) Zone dialog box.
• Type indicates the type of bar code found in the zone. If the zone is an OCR
zone, the Type will be OCR. If the zone is a mark detection zone, the Type
will be Mark Detection.
• Confidence level (in a percentage) of the bar code value found.
• Orientation of the bar code, OCR or mark detection zone
0° represents a horizontal, right-side-up bar code, OCR or mark detection
zone
90° represents a vertical, top to the left bar code, OCR or mark detection
zone
180° represents a horizontal, upside-down bar code, OCR or mark detection
zone
270° represents a vertical, top to the right bar code, OCR or mark detection
zone
• Value of the bar code, OCR or mark detection zone.
• Zone X and Zone Y coordinates of the upper left corner of the bar code,
OCR or mark detection zone. The coordinates are in 1/100ths of an inch and
represent the distance of the zone from the upper-left corner of the image.
• Zone Width and Zone Height of the bar code, OCR or mark detection zone
in units of 1/100ths of an inch.
NOTE: If a bar code, OCR or mark detection value cannot be found for a zone,
the zone is still included in the value list with only the label and zone
coordinates displayed.
Zone Properties — allows you to define the properties for the currently
selected bar code, OCR or mark detection zone. The Bar Code (OCR/Mark
Detection) Zone dialog box will be displayed. See the sections entitled, “Bar
Code Zone Setup dialog box”, “OCR Zone Setup dialog box” or “Mark
Detection Zone Setup dialog box” later in this chapter for more information.
A-61750 November 2016 139
General Properties — allows you define properties that will apply to all bar
code, OCR and mark detection zones. This option is useful when using bar
code header sheets for document separation and indexing that has less
content than the rest of the pages of the document. This option can increase
the performance of scanning into the bar code/mark detection/OCR
application.
When you select this option, the General Bar Code and OCR Properties dialog
box will be displayed.
1. Select the Extract bar codes/OCR from images between checkbox to
activate this option.
2. Enter a value in the minimum bytes field (default 1000 bytes) and the
maximum bytes field (default 100000 bytes). The values entered in these
fields limit the images from which bar codes, OCR or mark detection text
will be read to only those whose size falls between these values.
3. Click OK.
Rename Image — prompts you to rename the currently displayed image.
When naming or renaming an image, choose an image name that is unique to
Kodak Capture Pro Software. A file extension is not required.
NOTE: Special characters such as: “ ? * . < > \ / are not allowed in the image
name.
Delete Image — removes the current image from the job. Before your image is
deleted, a confirmation box will be displayed to verify your choice. If other
images remain in the image list, then the image preceding the deleted image
will be displayed in its place.
Bar code, OCR and mark detection zone definitions are not affected when you
delete an image as long as you have other images on the image list. However,
if the image to be deleted is the last image in the image list, the following
message will be displayed: This is the last image. Deleting this image also
deletes all bar code, OCR or mark detection zones. Do you want to delete
this image?
If you click Yes, all your bar code, OCR or mark detection zone definitions for
the job will also be deleted. An image must exist in the image list in order to
define bar code, OCR or mark detection zones. If you delete the last image,
you also delete all the bar code, OCR and mark detection zones.
Delete Zone — deletes the selected bar code, OCR or mark detection zone. A
confirmation box will be displayed before the zone is deleted.
Delete All Zones — deletes all the bar code, OCR and mark detection zones
that you defined for this job. A confirmation box will be displayed before the
zones are deleted.
140 A-61750 November 2016
Scanning an image
for bar code setup
Kodak Capture Pro Software allows you to separate pages and documents on
your scanner with pages containing bar codes. It also allows you to create
attachments to your documents using these bar code separators.
Before you can use bar codes as separators, you must:
• Scan an image containing the bar codes into Capture Pro Software.
• Draw and select the bar code zones.
• Set up your job for bar code zone separation.
Kodak Capture Pro Software allows you to scan bar code images directly into
the Bar Code window for viewing, defining and editing.
1. Select File>Job Setup. The Job Setup dialog box will be displayed.
2. Select a job setup from the Job Name drop-down list.
3. Open the Capture tab and select Separation>By Bar Code Zones. The
Bar Code window will be displayed.
4. Select the green Start/Scan button. The Scan Image dialog box will be
displayed.
A-61750 November 2016 141
5. Position the original document in the feeder and click Start/Scan. The
image will be displayed in the dialog box. Scan the image as straight as
possible. Your scanner will use the parameters of the current Kodak
Capture Pro Software page setup.
NOTES:
• Any auto-rotation, auto-cropping and deskew settings from the current
template will also be applied to the scanned image before it is displayed.
• If the image is acceptable, enter a name in the Image name field. The
image name should not contain any of the following characters: : “? * . <
> \ / .
• To discard the image, click Cancel.
6. Click OK to save the image.
NOTES:
• Before you can define a bar code, you must save at least one image in the
Image drop-down list.
• You can also transfer an image from the Image Viewer to the Bar Code
window. See the section entitled, “Transferring an image to the Bar Code
window” later in this chapter.
142 A-61750 November 2016
Creating and selecting a
bar code zone
Before you can use a bar code image for indexing or separation to separate
documents or batches, you need to create and select a bar code zone. Bar
code zones are created to indicate where to look for a bar code that satisfies
your bar code zone properties.
1. Select File>Job Setup. The Job Setup dialog box will be displayed.
2. Select a job setup from the Job Name drop-down list.
3. Open the Capture tab and select Separation>By Bar Code Zones. The
Bar Code window will be displayed.
4. Select an image from the Image drop-down list. If you need to scan the
image, click the green Start/Scan icon on the Bar Code window.
NOTES:
• Place the mouse cursor at the top-left corner of the area of the image
where you want to define the location for this bar code zone.
• Bar code zones are specific to a particular job; not a specific image.
Therefore, when you create a new image, Kodak Capture Pro Software
will display the zones that you defined using previous images.
• When drawing the location for a bar code zone, leave a border area of
approximately 1/4-inch around the bar code. This border is often
necessary for successful bar code reading. Bar code zone locations can
overlap.
5. Click the left mouse button and drag the cursor to draw a rectangle around
the area of the bar code. Bar codes defined with the Zone position
selected on the Bar Code Zone Setup dialog box will be enclosed in a red
box while those defined with Anywhere will be enclosed in a blue box.
After you draw the rectangle, the Bar Code Zone Setup dialog box will be
displayed.
6. In the Zone name field, enter a name for the new bar code zone. You must
create a name in order to save the zone.
7. After entering your other settings, click OK to close the dialog box and
return to the Bar Code window. See the next section, “Bar Code Zone
Setup dialog box” for field descriptions.
8. Click OK to save your settings and close the Job Setup dialog box.
A-61750 November 2016 143
Bar Code Zone Setup
dialog box
Use this dialog box to name your bar code zone, describe how to recognize a
valid bar code for this zone and specify any bar code separation.
Zone name — enter the name for your new bar code zone. This name
identifies the bar code and appears in Index setup as BC_[zonename] in the
list of default values. The bar code Label (from the Barcode and OCR Values
dialog box) does not define or identify a Kodak Capture Pro Software index
field.
Side: Front or Back — select whether the bar code is located on the front or
back of an image.
Keep bar codes with mask — use this option when one or more Anywhere
bar code zones are defined. The bar code value is only retained for the defined
zone when it complies with the mask specified in the Keep bar codes with
mask field. This ensures that the bar code values read on a page are assigned
to the correct bar code zone.
This option is also useful when more than one bar code zone is in the same
physical location on a page but have different values and meanings (e.g., a
zone defined for a batch header sheet versus a zone defined for a document
header sheet). To comply with a specified mask, each character of the bar
code value must match the mask syntax for that character’s position in the
mask.
For example, a mask of A<8> will retain a bar code value of up to, but not
exceeding, eight alphabetic characters:
Bar Code Value Retained?
SURGERY Yes
ADMISSION No
if applicable, enter a mask value.
144 A-61750 November 2016
Minimum length — enter a number for the minimum length of the bar code
value. By default, this option is set to the length of the tested bar code value. If
a value is not found or the value is equal to or greater than six characters, the
default will be set to “6.” It is recommended that the minimum length parameter
be set at six characters or fewer to allow Kodak Capture Pro Software to retain
bar code values in cases of a partial reading.
If the Partial Reading option is not required or enabled, then the mask and
minimum length settings can be used in combination to further restrict the
retained bar code values.
For example:
Mask: 9(10)
Minimum bytes: 6
retains bar code values between six and ten digits, while
Mask: 9(10)
Minimum length: 10
retains bar code values only if they are exactly ten digits.
Bar code width and Bar code height — if the bar code has a fixed length or
height, enter these values in 1/100ths of an inch. An entry in one or both of
these fields increases the performance of bar code reading. If one of the
dimensions is variable, enter 0. The default is 0.
Bar code dimensions can vary depending on the amount of skew. Therefore, it
is recommended that you enter these values only when you are sure of the
dimensions of the bar code.
NOTE: You must specify a bar code height for bar codes that are smaller than
40 pixels high (e.g., at 200 dpi, 40 pixels is 20/100
ths
of an inch).
When specifying a bar code width and/or height, the tolerance is ±10%
(e.g., if you specify 20/100
ths
of an inch for the bar code height, any bar code
between 18/100
ths
of an inch and 22/100
ths
on an inch will be detected).
Type — you may also select additional bar code types that will be considered
valid for this bar code zone. Although it is unusual that more than one bar code
type would be found within a zone, it is possible to select multiple bar code
types. For more information on bar code types, see the section entitled, “Bar
Code types” later in this chapter.
The more bar code types you select, the slower your scanning performance.
When you draw a bar code location, Kodak Capture Pro Software searches
the location for all bar code types. When successful, the software sets the bar
code type to the one found. Otherwise, a bar code type is not selected. There
are two exceptions:
• For Code 39 Extended and Code 39 HIBC bar codes, Capture Pro Software
may set the bar code type to Code 39. As a result, you may need to
manually select Code 39 Extended and Code 39 HIBC.
• For MSIPH bar codes, Capture Pro Software may set the bar code type to
MSI. As a result, you may need to manually select MSIPH.
A-61750 November 2016 145
Bar code zone dialog box
(continued)
Verify checksum — check this box if the bar code contains a checksum
character. Checksum characters help ensure the accuracy of bar code
reading. Not all bar code types support checksum verification. Bar code types
that optionally support checksum verification include:
Code 3 of 9
CODABAR
Interleaved 2 of 5
Some bar code types like PDF417, UPC and EAN have a built-in checksum
routine that cannot be disabled.
If you disable Verify checksum for bar codes containing a checksum, the
checksum value (usually the last character of the bar code) will appear in the
bar code value; otherwise, the check digit will remain hidden.
If checksum verification fails during scanning, a bar code value is not
generated, causing Kodak Capture Pro Software index field audits to fail.
Some bar code types, such as Code 128, have mandatory checksum
characters. The code is always present and must be correct for the value to be
read. Other codes such, as Code 39, have optional checksum characters
which then add an additional code when present.
To read invalid Code 128 symbols, you can select the Minimum partial read
characters option. It will report the data characters even if checksum fails. The
invalid checksum will not be returned. When the bar code has an optional
checksum, it will not be validated by the software. It will operate based on the
bar code specification.
Selecting Minimum partial read characters for a bar code with an optional
checksum will return what it finds, whether it is good or bad. There will be
occasions when the bar code returns the correct result but the checksum itself
fails. Since the checksum is implicit, it is not returned and cannot be directly
tested.
Minimum partial read characters — check this box when you want Capture
Pro Software to generate a bar code value, even if a bar code is incomplete. If
this option is checked, enter the minimum number of characters that will be
allowed for a partial read. This is useful for bar codes that are only used for
document or batch separation where the absolute value is less critical.
For indexing purposes, it is recommended that you define field masks and
minimum lengths. Kodak Capture Pro Software will not produce any bar code
value if the bar code is incomplete and the Minimum partial read characters
field is disabled.
NOTE: Minimum partial read characters should not be used when Verify
checksum is enabled, as this may result in a bar code value being
generated when checksum verification fails.
Filtering — when reading barcodes from fax machines or other devices that
may have CCD pixel dropout, applying a filter may help the read rate if bars
are missing pixels. Selecting Filter1 will fill a gap in a bar of 1 pixel. Filter2 will
fill a gap of 2 pixels, etc.
146 A-61750 November 2016
Process bar code by — when set to Auto, the bar code will be read in the
scanner if possible. If the scanner reaches its maximum number of bar codes
or the bar code is not supported in the scanner, then the bar code will be read
by Capture Pro. When set to Capture Pro, the bar code will be read in the
software.
Advantages of reading bar codes in the scanner (Auto):
• Fast — bar codes are read at full scanner speeds.
• Resolution — bar codes are detected at full image resolution (1200 dpi).
Image processing and compression may degrade edges on some scanner
models.
Disadvantages of reading bar codes in the scanner (Auto):
• The scanner can read fewer bar codes per image than Capture Pro
• The scanner reads fewer bar code types than Capture Pro.
Bar code zone dialog box
(continued)
Orientation — select an orientation option from the drop-down list. If your bar
codes all share the same orientation (e.g., all horizontal or all vertical), it is
recommended that you indicate the specific orientation; this will increase bar
code read and scanning performance.
If your bar codes are predominantly in the same orientation (e.g., horizontal)
but may have an occasional bar code in the opposite direction (e.g., vertical) it
is recommended that you use the appropriate "and" orientation (e.g.,
Horizontal and Vertical).
When the bar code zone is first created, Kodak Capture Pro Software
automatically sets the orientation to the orientation of the bar code, if found.
Horizontal is the default.
Confidence — enter a confidence ratio number to restrict what Kodak Capture
Pro Software considers a successful bar code read. For example, the higher
the value you enter, the chance of misreading bar codes will be reduced.
Quality — select a quality setting between Worst and Best. The highest
quality bar codes are printed by a laser printer or pre-printed with an offset
printer. Lower quality bar codes are printed with inkjet or dot-matrix technology.
Depending on the quality of bar codes being scanned, set the Quality level
accordingly. The higher the quality setting, the faster the bar code read
performance.
A-61750 November 2016 147
Position — select Anywhere or Zone.
• Anywhere: when creating a zone for an Anywhere bar code, draw a
location around one bar code somewhere on the page, and select the
Anywhere option. This situation often occurs when bar codes may be found
at unpredictable locations on documents. When looking for Anywhere bar
codes, Kodak Capture Pro Software searches the image from top to bottom
for horizontal and vertical bar codes. This search order is important to
understand if you have more than one Anywhere bar code on a page or
zone.
• Zone: increases bar code reading and scanning performance and is the
default setting.
- Alternatively search on 180° rotated images — can only be used when
the Zone option is enabled. When bar code reading is unsuccessful,
Kodak Capture Pro Software will also look for the zone after rotating an
image 180 degrees. This slows down bar code reading and scanning, but
prevents a bar code read failure because a page was scanned upside
down. The image is not permanently rotated unless the Rotate based on
bar code option is selected.
• Alternatively search on the reverse side — checking this option
increases document/batch separation and indexing accuracy when pages
are accidentally reversed before scanning.
• Rotate based on bar code — Kodak Capture Pro Software can determine
if a bar code is rotated 180 degrees and will rotate the bar code page 180
degrees to display it in the correct orientation. This option is used for
document separation. All of the pages of the document will be rotated in the
same manner as the lead page containing the bar code zone. If required,
only one bar code zone should have the Rotate based on bar code option
enabled.
NOTE: Batch rotation is not supported in Capture Pro Software.
148 A-61750 November 2016
Read all bar codes: when this option is checked and the Position is
Anywhere, all bar codes on the page will be read. The bar code values will be
separated by the ^ character. The order of the values will be the order that the
bar codes were found when searching from left to right and top to bottom on
the page.
Separation — the following options are available:
• Create a new batch — all images after the separation go into a new
document in a new batch.
• Create a new document — all images after separation go into a new
document in the current batch.
• Next page stays in current document — the next page after the
separation remains in the current document.
• Only separate when change in value — the software separates by a
document or batch only if a value changes.
• No separation — select Batch level or Document level for the bar code
zones:
- Bar code is located on: Batch level: bar codes that are located on the
Batch level or that separate batches are available for Batch and Document
indexing. Batch level bar codes are only read when they are present on a
Batch Header page. A Batch Header page exists whenever batch
separation is defined using patch codes or bar codes (at least one bar
code zone in the job is configured for batch separation).
- Bar code is located on: Document level: bar codes that are located on
the Document level or that separate documents are available for Document
indexing. They are not available for Batch indexing.
• Delete Page — select this option to delete the page containing the bar code
that started the new document. This is important when inserts are used for
the purpose of document separation and do not contain any significant
information. The bar code, however, is still available for Document level
indexing.
A-61750 November 2016 149
Zone Pages Setup dialog
box
By default, the bar code (OCR, mark detection) zone(s) will only be applied to
the first page of a document. To read bar codes (extract text or check for
marks) on additional pages use the Zone Page Setup dialog box to select a
specific page or a range of pages. The Zone Page Setup dialog box is
displayed by selecting the Select pages to apply for all zones icon located in
the bottom right corner of the Bar Code, OCR and Mark Detection Job Setup
dialog box. The Zone Pages Setup dialog box allows you to separately select
the page or pages to apply the defined bar code, OCR and mark detection
zones.
Pages to read OCR zones — used to select the page or pages to apply all the
defined OCR zones. Multiple pages may be entered by separating the page
numbers with commas “,”. For example, “3-8”. For each of the defined OCR
zones, the specified page or pages will be checked for valid text. If valid text is
found in the zone, the zone will be assigned the text read. Any valid text within
the zone on a following page will replace any previous text that had been read.
If a document has less pages than the page entered, then the zone value will
remain empty. For example, if a document has 6 pages and the pages to read
is set to “8, 11-15”, the zone value will remain empty even if the first 6 pages
contained valid text within the zone.
If you need to always read the value in the zone on the last page of the
document and the document may contain a variable number of pages, the
asterisk ‘*’ may be used to read every page of the document. The value read
on the last page will be the final value assigned to the zone.
NOTE: If the value on the last page is not readable or valid, then a valid value
on a previous page will be assigned to the zone.
If the Pages to read Bar Code is empty, then none of the OCR zones will be
read.
150 A-61750 November 2016
Pages to read Bar code — used to select the page or pages to apply all the
defined bar code zones. Multiple pages may be entered by separating the
page numbers with commas ‘,’. For example, “1,2,5,6”. A range of pages may
be entered by entering the first page number, a dash ’-‘, and the last page
number. For example, “3-8”. For each of the defined bar code zones, the
specified page or pages will be checked for a valid bar code. If a valid bar code
value is found in the zone, the zone will be assigned the bar code value read.
A valid bar code within the zone on a following page will replace any previous
bar code values that have been read.
If a document has less pages than the page entered, then the zone value will
remain empty. For example, if a document has 6 pages and the pages to read
is set to “8, 11-15”, the zone value will remain empty even if the first 6 pages
contain one or more valid bar codes.
If you need to always read the value in the zone on the last page of document
and the document may contain a variable number of pages, the asterisk ‘*’
may be used to read every page of the document. The value read on the last
page will be the final value assigned to the zone.
NOTE: If the value on the last page is not readable or valid, then a valid value
on a previous page will be assigned to the zone.
If the Pages to read Bar Code field is empty then none of the bar codes zones
will be read.
Pages to read OMR (Optical Mark Recognition) zones — specifying
multiple pages for applying mark detection zones is rarely practical. If the mark
detection zones are defined as “No Frame” then the last page specified in the
page range will determine the value of the mark detection zone. Even mark
detection zones defined as containing a “Frame” may produce poor results.
A-61750 November 2016 151
Separating documents
with bar code zones
Kodak Capture Pro Software allows you to separate documents with bar code
zones within a batch:
1. Select File>Job Setup and select a job and batch.
2. Open the Capture tab and select Separation>By Bar Code Zones. The
Separation by Bar Code Zone window will be displayed.
3. Select an existing bar code zone or define a new bar code zone.
4. Right-click the mouse button to display the context-sensitive menu and
click Zone Properties. The Bar Code Zone Setup dialog box will be
displayed.
5. Under Separation, select Create a new document.
6. Check the Delete page option if you want to delete the page containing the
bar code that started the new document.
7. Fill in the Keep bar codes with mask and/or Minimum length fields if you
want to restrict document separation to a specific bar code value or mask.
8. Select Rotate based on bar code if you want to rotate all pages in the
document in the same orientation as the orientation of the bar code on the
Document Header. Rotating the document based on the bar code does not
work when the bar code separator page is deleted.
For example:
Mask =
”ER”9(8)”-”999 Minimum length = 14: Only bar code values with a
length of 14 characters, starting with the string “ER” followed by eight
numeric characters, a hyphen and three numeric characters start a new
document.
For instance, the patient number bar code on the cover sheet of a folder
starts a new document. The patient number can, in that case, also be used
as a document index. If a bar code in the same zone creates a batch with a
certain value and a document with another value, two zones must be drawn
on top of each other.
9. After entering your other settings, click OK to close the dialog box and
return to the Separation by Bar Code window.
10. Click OK to save your settings and exit the Job Setup dialog box.

section entitled, “Scanning an image for bar code setup” earlier in this chapter.
154 A-61750 November 2016
Setting the range for
bar code image size
When you define bar code zones, every page you scan will be checked to see
if it contains those bar codes. This checking can slow scanning performance. If
your bar code pages always have about the same byte count size, and if that
size is different from other pages you scan, you can indicate to the software
that only images within a particular size (byte count) range need to be checked
for bar codes. That setting can speed up scanning performance.
1. Select File>Job Setup. The Job Setup dialog box will be displayed.
2. Select a job setup from the Job Name drop-down list and open the Capture
tab.
3. Select Separation>By Bar Code Zones. The Separation by Bar Code
Zone window will be displayed.
4. Select any image and right-click on a bar code zone. The General Bar
Code and OCR Zone Properties dialog box will be displayed.
NOTE: If a bar code zone does not exist, this option will not be available
until a bar code zone is defined.
5. Check the Extract bar codes/OCR from images between checkbox and
set a range for minimum and maximum byte size.
6. After you make your settings, click OK to close the dialog box and return to
the Bar Code window.
7. Click OK to save your settings and close the Job Setup dialog box. The
new image range is now saved.
8. After editing a bar code zone test the bar code zone to verify that it is still
readable.

Bar code types Kodak Capture Pro Software supports the following bar code types:
• Airline 2 of 5
•Aztec
• Barcode 32
• CODABAR
• Code 128
• Code 2 of 5 — mutually exclusive with Interleaved 2 of 5
• Code 3 of 9
• Code 39 (no stop start)
• Code 39 Extended
• Code 93
• Data Matrix
• EAN 13
• EAN 8
• Intelligent Mail Barcode
• Interleaved of 2 of 5 — mutually exclusive with Code 2 of 5
• PDF417 — a high-density, two-dimensional bar code type that can contain
up to 1250 bytes of information in a few square inches. With this kind of
density, all index data for a document can be contained in a single bar code.
• Planet (US Post Office Code)
• PostNet (Postal): cannot be selected with any other bar code type
• QR Code
• UCC Code 128
•UPC-A
•UPC-E
Special syntax for two-
dimensional bar codes
When using two-dimensional bar codes, a single bar code can be used to
contain all the index data for a document or batch. To facilitate indexing with
two-dimensional bar codes, a special substring syntax has been added:
<barcode.zonename:[start;length]>
<barcode.zonename:[start;end]>
<barcode.zonename:[# of data elements, delimiter (in single quotes)]>
The delimiter can either be the actual character symbol or its ASCII decimal
numeric value (for symbols that cannot be printed or typed). The delimiter must
be contained in double quotes (“ “).
For example, if a PDF417 bar code contains the following data:
12345678*NURSERY*11/19/1962 the following could be used as default
values for the three index fields of data:
Default Value Actual Value
<BC.PDF417:[1, '*']> 12345678
Returns the 1st element of the bar code string delimited by an asterisk.
<BC.PDF417:[2, '42']> NURSERY
Returns the 2nd element of the bar code string delimited by an asterisk
(42 is the ASCII decimal value for asterisk).
<BC.PDF417:[3, '*']> 11/19/1962
Returns the 3rd element of the bar code string delimited by an asterisk.
A-61750 November 2016 157
Using OCR zones OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is the mechanical or electronic
translation of images of typewritten or printed text (usually captured by a
scanner) into machine-editable text.
OCR setup allows you to define:
• the name of the OCR zone
• the physical location where you find the text (zone location on the image)
• the level where you can find the text (batch or document level)
Use the Bar Code, OCR and Mark Detection Setup function on the Capture tab
on the Job Setup dialog box to set up the bar code reader to read one or more
bar codes or OCR parameters for one or more OCR zones.
The OCR zone separation setting on the Capture tab in the Job Setup dialog
box allows you to scan an image into the Separation by OCR Zone window
and define zones and OCR zone-specific properties.
NOTE: The components of the Separation by Bar Code and Separation by
OCR Zone window, icons and context-sensitive menu are described in
detail in the sections entitled, “Bar Code, OCR & Mark Detection
window” and “Bar Code, OCR & Mark Detection windows - context-
sensitive menu” earlier in this chapter.
OCR indexing uses local language lexicons and allows reading of
alphanumeric text at high speed (1000 characters/second). It is zonal (similar
to bar code reading) and is processed during scanning.
Capture Pro Software supports the following text information for OCR:
- Ligatures (“joined” characters)
- Broken characters
- Degraded characters
- Text from 200-600 dpi resolution
- Text fonts from 8-72 points
- Numbers from 0-9
- Letters from A-Z and a-z
- Symbols ! " $ % & ( ) * + , - . / :, ; < = > ? @ [ \ ] { } £ • ß ´ ª
• For best results, use 300 dpi resolution and 12-point sans serif font (or
larger if using resolutions lower than 300 dpi). Do not use skewed
documents.

Capture Pro Software page setup.
NOTES:
• Any settings from the current job setup will also be applied to the
scanned image before it is displayed.
• If the image is acceptable, enter a name in the Image Name field. The
image name should not contain any of the following characters: : “ ? * . <
> \ / .
• To discard the image, click Cancel.
• Before you can define an OCR zone, you must have at least one image
in the Image drop-down list.
• You can transfer an image from the Image Viewer to the Separation by

Creating and selecting
an OCR zone
Before you can use an OCR image to separate documents or batches, you
need to create and select an OCR zone.
1. Select File>Job Setup. The Job Setup dialog box will be displayed.
2. Select a job setup from the Job Name drop-down list and open the Capture
tab.
3. Select Separation>By OCR Zones setting. The Separation by OCR Zone
window will be displayed.
4. Select an image from the Image drop-down list. If you need to scan the
image, click the green Start/Scan icon on the Separation by OCR Zone
window.
NOTE: Place the mouse cursor at the top-left corner of the area of the
displayed image where you want to define the location for this OCR
zone. For variable length and height OCR indexing, make sure that
you draw the zone large enough to capture all the indexing data. At
the same time, be careful not to draw the zone so large that stray
data (e.g., lines on a form) are accidentally captured.
OCR zones are job-specific as opposed to image-specific.
Therefore, displaying a new image will continue to display the zones
you defined using earlier images.
5. Click the left mouse button and drag the cursor until a rectangle is drawn
around the text area. After you release the cursor, the OCR Zone Setup
dialog box will be displayed.

A-61750 November 2016 161
OCR Zone Setup dialog
box
OCR zones provide Kodak Capture Pro Software with information such as
dimensions of the zone. After you draw an OCR zone, Capture Pro Software
attempts to read the information in the zone and automatically displays the
OCR Zone Properties window with whatever text the software could read in the
zone.
NOTE: The OCR function has difficulty reading italic and underlined
characters on Asian character sets. To increase the OCR reliability, it is
recommended that you use black and white images.
Zone name — enter a name for the OCR zone. You must name the OCR zone
in order to save it.
Side: Front or Back — select whether the OCR zone is located on the front or
back of an image.
Rule for values to keep — any valid Input format text expressions may be
entered or you can leave this field blank. If any Input format text expression is
entered, then only OCR read strings that meet this rule will be kept. For
example, if the expression entered is A<10>, then only OCR read strings
containing 10 or less alpha characters will be kept. For more information see
the section entitled, “Input formats” in Chapter 2.
Search for value in zone — when the Rule for values to keep is a fixed
string format, then the OCR zone read value only needs to contain fixed
strings for a value to be kept.
For example, if the Rule for values to keep was set to Form 1099, then the
following read strings would be valid reads and batch/document separation
would occur if selected.
“77644 Form 1099 - revision 1.2”
“81763 Form 1099 - revision 1.4”
“77644 Form 1099 - revision 2.2”
Character set rule — not applicable at this time.
Primary language —selecting the appropriate primary language ensures that
Kodak Capture Pro Software properly OCR’s special language-specific
characters (e.g., ç or ü). Use the drop-down list to display a list of supported
languages.
Secondary language — one or more secondary languages may be selected
when a zone may contain characters from more than one language.

Separation — the following options are available:
• Create a new batch: all images after the separation go into a new
document in a new batch.
• Create a new document: all images after separation go into a new
document in the current batch.
• Next page stays in current document: the next page after the separation
remains in the current document.
No separation — select one of the following:
• OCR is located on: Document level: OCR zones located on the Document
level and OCR zones that separate documents are available for document
indexing. However, they are not available for batch indexing.
• OCR is located on: Batch level: OCR zones located on the Batch level
and OCR zones that separate batches are available for both batch and
document indexing.
Only separate when change in value — the system separates by document
or batch only if a value changes.
Delete page — delete the page that contains the OCR read value that initiated
the separation.
OK — closes the dialog box and returns to the Separation by OCR Zone
window.

Using separators
when color scanning
Kodak Capture Pro Software can scan color, grayscale, and black and white
images with separators (bar code zones, OCR zones or patch codes). Images
can be separated or mixed together. To separate these color/grayscale images
quickly and reliably, Capture Pro Software uses their duplicate black and white
images for reading the separators.
When scanning both color/grayscale and black and white images and the
software detects a bar code zone, patch code or OCR zone, the software
either deletes all four page images (color front, color back, black and white
front, and black and white back) or attaches them to the new or current
document or batch. This action will be determined by the settings in the Bar
Zone Code Setup dialog box, Patch Code setup, or OCR Zone Setup dialog
box.
When you are scanning only color/grayscale images, the software reads the
duplicate black and white images. While these black and white images are
never displayed or outputted, they are used for bar code reading, patch code
reading and OCR indexing.

Using Mark Detection
zones
Mark Detection is a method of detecting the presence or absence of an ink
mark within a specific area that is used to convey some intended information.
Good document design and clear instructions to respondents are very
important in getting high accuracy. Printing model samples of ideally filled and
filled-in-error checkboxes in the instructions is recommended. Respondents
should be urged to fill in the document with a dark blue or black pen. Pencils
are to be avoided, as are pens with an ink color close to a dropout color if the
form is color is dropped during scanning.
Mark Detection setup allows you to define:
• The name of the Mark Detection zone.
• The physical location where you will find the mark (zone location on the
image).
• The value when a mark is detected.
• The value when a mark is not detected.
• If the mark is contained within a frame such as a box or circle.
• The sensitivity to distinguish a mark due to random dirt or scratch “noise”.
• A group of mark detection zones to return a single set of values.
Use the Bar Code, OCR and Mark Detection Setup option on the Capture tab
in the Job Setup dialog box to setup the mark detection parameters for one or
more Mark Detection zones.
NOTES:
• Batch and document separation is not provided for Mark Detection
zones.
• For best results, use 300 dpi resolution images.

A-61750 November 2016 173
Mark Detection Zone
Setup dialog box
Use this dialog box to name your mark detection zone, describe how the mark
is detected and optionally group multiple zones to produce a single result.
Zone name — enter the name for your new mark detection zone. This name
identifies the mark area and appears in the Index setup as MD_(zonename) in
the list of default values.
Filled value — the zone will return this value when it is detected to be “filled”.
The value may be a single value such as “1” or a multi-character value such as
“This checkbox was marked”. The value may also be left empty.
If the zone is added to a group of mark detection zones, this value is included
in the value returned by the zone group. See the section entitled, “Mark
Detection Zone Group Setup” later in this section.
Unfilled value — the zone will return this value when it is detected to be
“unfilled” or empty. The value may be a single value such as “0” or a multi-
character value such as “This checkbox was not marked”. The value may also
be left empty.
If the zone is added to a group of mark detection zones, this value is not used.
The unfilled value returned by a group of zones is defined in the group setup.
See the section entitled, “Mark Detection Zone Group Setup” later in this
section.
Side: Front or Back — select whether the mark area is located on the front or
back of an image.
174 A-61750 November 2016
Frame: Frame or No Frame — a frame can be a rectangle, a circle, an ellipse,
etc.; in which the mark is expected to be placed. The dimensions of the frame
should be at least 50 pixels in each direction, 4 mm (0.2 inch) in the case of
300 dpi resolution.
•If Frame is selected, it may be filled in by any shape such as an X, a tick,
non-solid hatching, horizontal or vertical lines, etc. The recommended filling
shape is an X or a tick. A small number of contiguous black pixels within the
frame area will lead to a value of “filled” for the mark detection zone.
•If No Frame is selected, then any mark of several contiguous black pixels
will lead to a value of ”filled” for the mark detection zone. If the form
contains frames for the mark but the frame will be color dropped then the No
Frame option should be selected.
Mark sensitivity: Low to High — for well-printed, high quality forms, the
sensitivity should be set to High. When High is selected, small marks of just a
few contiguous black pixels will lead to a value of “filled”. For poor quality
forms, a lower sensitivity will allow speckles or visible paper fibers to be
ignored resulting in successful processing.
Add zone to group — select this option if this mark detection zone is
associated with other mark detection zones and a single result is desired for
the group of associated zones. For example, a form presents a question with
three check boxes, “Like”, “Dislike” and “Do not care”. Three mark detection
zones are defined, one for each possible response. All three mark detection
zones would have this option selected and be added to the same group.
Applying mark detection
zones to specific pages
For information on how to select the page or pages to apply all the mark
detection zones, see the “Zone Page Setup” earlier in this chapter.
A-61750 November 2016 175
Mark Detection Zone
Group Setup
For each expected mark on a page, a mark detection zone is created and
configured as described in the section entitled, “Mark Detection Zone Setup”.
Each mark detection zone will return a value depending on if the mark area is
“filled” or “unfilled”. This works well for simple “Yes” or “No” questions. For a
question with multiple possible responses, where a single response is desired,
the mark detection zones may be “grouped”.
For example, the question, “When traveling by air, what is your seating
preference?” may have three possible responses, “Aisle”, “Window” or “Do not
care”. Three mark detection zones would be created, one for each of the three
possible responses. The three mark detection zones would all be added to a
new mark detection group. A single index field would be created for the
response to this question and the mark detection group would be used as the
default value for the index field. See the section entitled, “Adding a document
index field” in the Job Setup – Index tab section in Chapter 2.
To add a mark detection zone to group:
1. Select Add zone to group. A list of existing mark detection groups will be
displayed. Select the group in which you want to add this mark detection
zone.
• If there is no existing mark detection group, the Create New Zone Group
dialog box will be displayed.
• Enter a name for the new group and click OK.
176 A-61750 November 2016
2. Select Add/Edit Group. The Mark Detection Zone Group dialog box will
be displayed.
• Group List — shows the name of the current mark detection group.
Click the drop-down list to display other mark detection groups.
• No selection value — the group will return this value if no mark is
detected in any of the mark detection zones within the group. The value
may be a single value such as “0” or a multi-character value such as
“No selection”. The value may also be left empty.
• Group properties — using the -> button, select and move the mark
detection zones that you want to include in the group, from the Zones
not in group list to the Zones in the group list.
3. Using the <- button, select and move the mark detection zones that you do
not want to include in the group, from the Zones in the group list to the
Zones not in group list.
4. Click OK.

A-61750 November 2016 179
Software rotation — automatically rotates the image after scanning. Select
None, 90, 180 or 270 degrees. As you enter a different setting, the icon will
display how the image would look after rotation.
NOTE: Setting up this rotation in the TWAIN Datasource may yield better
scanning performance than using Software rotation on the Image tab.
2-sided mode — select Classic or Calendar mode from the drop-down list for
two-sided scanning and the corresponding icon will be displayed. Compare
your original image with the icon to determine if it has a classic or calendar
layout.
• Classic: typically used for multi-page reports. The 2-sided mode option
only influences the way the front image is rotated in relation with the back
image. It does not set the overall rotation of the document (0
, 90, 180 or
270
).
When using Classic: 2-sided mode, the front and rear images correspond
as follows:
A 0
rotated front results in a 0 rotated back.
A 180
rotated front results in a 180 rotated back.
A 90
rotated front results in a 270 rotated back.
A 270
rotated front results in a 90 rotated back.
• Calendar: typically used for presentation handouts, financial reports, wall
calendars, etc. The 2-sided mode option only influences the way the front
image is rotated in relation with the back image. It does not set the overall
rotation of the document (0
, 90, 180 or 270).
• When using the Calendar: 2-sided mode, the front and rear images
correspond as follows:
A 0
rotated front results in a 180 rotated back.
A 180
rotated front results in a 0 rotated back.
A 90
rotated front results in a 90 rotated back.
A 270
rotated front results in a 270 rotated back.

Cancel — closes the dialog box without saving any changes.
Apply — accepts the changes made in the dialog box without closing the
dialog box.
180 A-61750 November 2016
Auto Delete tab The Auto Delete tab allows you to set options for automatically deleting an
image. You may want to delete images with no content, or possibly very busy
pages (e.g., the back of a form which has a lot of explanatory text on it). Auto
deletion settings are specified independently for front and back images.
If you are doing simultaneous scanning of color, grayscale and/or black and
white image types, auto deletion settings are also set independently.
Therefore, you can choose to delete only the selected image type.
When using Auto Delete, it is recommended that you scan some
representative documents which you would want to delete by using the Test
option. The results of the Test option will help you determine if you should set
the auto delete values using the Image size (byte) is option or the Image
content (%) option. For more information see the next section “Testing your
settings”.
• Image size (byte) is Above — select this option if you want to delete pages
with a lot of busy, explanatory content on them. For example, if you are
scanning documents with similar content (e.g. insurance forms) on the front
and back page, and the front page has content you need to keep, but the
back page contains instructions on how to file a claim (that you do not need
to keep), enter the number of bytes that you want Capture Pro Software to
delete any image file greater than that amount. Any image that is more than
this value will be considered too large and will be delete
d.
• Image size (byte) is Below — select this option if you want to delete pages
with no content or very little content. Enter the number of bytes that Capture
Pro Software will consider the image size to be blank. Any image that is less
than this value will be considered blank and will be deleted.
A-61750 November 2016 181
• Image content (%) is Above — this option is similar to the Image size
(byte) Above option except that you enter a percentage value that Capture
Pro Software will consider the image to have too much content. Any image
more than this will be deleted
.
• Image content (%) is Below — this option is similar to the Image size
(byte) Below option except that you enter a percentage value that Capture
Pro Software will consider the image to be blank or too little content. Any
image that is less than this value will be considered blank and will be
deleted. Use this setting when there are blank pages.
NOTES:
• When selecting the Image size (byte) option, other factors such as
resolution, compression, etc., will impact the image size.
•The Image content (%) option only looks at the percentage of
information on the image and therefore, is a more consistent and
dependable option to use when images may vary in size, resolution,
compression, etc.
Never — click Never, if you do not want the software to delete any images
automatically.
Apply deletion to both images of a side — deletes both the black and white
and color/grayscale images.
Delete images after Intelligent QC — select this option if you want to
selected Intelligent QC image processing functions to operate on an image
before it is deleted. For example, you may want to create a grayscale image
from a color image before deleting the color image.
Test — displays the Test Image dialog box, which allows you scan a sample
image and test your settings.
OK — saves your settings and closes the dialog box.
Cancel — closes the dialog box without saving any changes.
Apply — accepts the changes made in the dialog box without closing the
dialog box.
182 A-61750 November 2016
Testing your settings The Test Image dialog box allows you to test your images to determine
whether or not they meet your deletion settings. It is highly recommended that
you test your settings to be sure that the images you want to be deleted are
deleted and that you keep the images you want to keep.
1. Click Test on the Auto Delete tab to display the Test Image dialog box.
2. Place some documents in the scanner that are representative of the
documents you want to test for auto deletion.
3. Before you scan a page, select Black and White - Front, Black and
White - Back, Color - Front, or Color - Back from the drop-down list.
NOTE: The options that are displayed in the drop-down list are dependent
upon your Page Setup.
4. Click the Start/Scan icon. The results will be displayed in the Test result
box.
• The image is: indicates if the image is Blank or Not Blank.
• Image size is - (bytes): the size of the test image in bytes.
• Content is - %: the percentage of content in the test image.
5. Evaluate the values displayed in the Image size is - (bytes) and/or
Content is - % Test results box.
NOTE: Based on the value displayed in the Test results box you may want
to enter a value slightly lower or slightly higher than the displayed
value depending on the desired output. For example, if your
representative image byte size of blank images is 799 bytes and
almost blank images is 900 bytes, you may want to enter a value of
850 bytes in the Image size is - (bytes) field on the Auto Delete tab.
6. Click OK.
NOTE: During the test image scan, options to Split and Merge will be ignored.
A-61750 November 2016 183
Splitting images Splitting images is frequently used in forms processing. When scanning folded
forms, you may want them to be split in several smaller images to make forms
registration and verification more reliable. Kodak Capture Pro Software splits
the images, sorts the images, and extracts data from the images in the correct
sequence.
The split occurs only on pages that comply with a minimum and maximum
width expressed in 1/100ths of an inch. The split operation is a vertical split,
meaning that the page is divided into equal left, middle, and right portions (if
splitting three ways). The split occurs after rotation. When scanning large
forms that cannot be scanned in landscape mode because they are wider than
the scanner transport, rotation is required.
Set the Software rotation option on the Image tab of the Page Setup dialog
box depending on how you scan the document.
After the split, odd-numbered images will be considered front images and
even-numbered images will be considered rear images. Because Capture Pro
Software immediately shows the result after merging or splitting, you can test
your page setup and make changes if necessary.
If you are scanning one-sided images (or when you are scanning from the
flatbed), the split will occur only on the front image.
184 A-61750 November 2016
Splitting an image To split images during scanning:
1. Click the Split Page or Image checkbox.
NOTE: The Merge and Split options cannot be active at the same time. To
disable the Merge option, open the Merge tab and uncheck the
Merge front and back into one single image checkbox.
2. Choose from 2 to 12 images in the Number of resultant images drop-down
list.
3. Select a range of widths for the page or image from the Split image if width
is between field. If the page width falls within this range, it will be split. If
either the front or back side falls outside the range, neither side will be split.
4. Select Front and/or Back to activate a split. A graphic will be displayed
showing your selection. For example, if you enable both checkboxes, the
icons will appear with a red "X" on each page.
Click on each image segment in the order you want the images to be
output. As you click on an image segment, the red "X" disappears.
Any image segment that is still marked with a red "X" will be deleted and
not sent to output. This option might be useful for the last page of a
pamphlet that is always blank.
NOTE: When using a simplex-only scanner, selecting both Front and
Back will result in no split. Select Front only to cause a split.
5. If desired, click Reset Order to delete the output order and start again.
6. Click OK to save your settings and close the Page Setup dialog box.
A-61750 November 2016 185
Merge tab To merge images during scanning:
1. Click the Merge front and back image into one single image checkbox.
NOTE: The Merge and Split options cannot be active at the same time. To
disable the Split option, open the Split tab and uncheck the Split
Page or Image checkbox.
2. Set the minimum and maximum image widths and heights in 1/100ths of
an inch for front and back images to be merged in the if width is between
and the if height is between fields. Capture Pro Software merges only the
images that meet these parameters. Any other images are not merged.
3. Click Horizontal or Vertical for the desired orientation on the merged
image.
4. Click Front, Back or Back, Front for the desired order of the front and
back on the merged image.
5. Click OK to save your settings and close the Page Setup dialog box.
186 A-61750 November 2016
Intelligent QC tab The Intelligent QC tab of the Page Setup dialog box allows you to set up these
image processing functions during image capture:
• Auto-orientation
• Binarize
• Create Grayscale from Color
• Hole fill
• Auto crop
• Deskew
Auto-orientation Auto-orientation analyzes the content of your documents and orients each
document so it is right-reading. You can select Orient Front, which orients the
front side of a page or Orient Back, which orients the back side of a page.
Binarize Binarize converts color or grayscale images to black and white. Your scanner
must be setup to scan color or grayscale. While scanning, the image will be
converted to black and white and checked for noise. If excessive noise is
detected, the image will be flagged and you will have an opportunity after
scanning to adjust the image to enhance the desired content.
Image Adjustments
• Enable Binarize — check this option to adjust the Contrast.
- Contrast: sets the contrast for each image. If your document set contains
images with faint text or colored / dark backgrounds then you may wish to
increase the contrast.
If your documents are light weight paper and content on the back side is
visible on the front then decreasing the contrast may produce better
results. In many cases a contrast of 0 will produce the best result.
A-61750 November 2016 187
Image Retention Options
• Keep all images — by default, only the flagged color or grayscale images
will remain in the batch with the black and white images and only these
images may be modified after scanning. Select this box if you want to keep
all the color or grayscale images so that you can modify any image sent
from the scanner, whether they are flagged or not.
NOTES:
• When using a Kodak Scanner with Thresholding - Intelligent QC
enabled, the grayscale image will only be available for those images
identified by the scanner as containing excessive noise.
• Selecting Keep all images will not result in auto deleted images being
kept.
• If you do not want to keep the color or grayscale images after output, then
only select the Black and White checkbox on the Output tab of Job
Setup.
Create Grayscale from Color Create Grayscale from Color will create a grayscale image for every color
image sent from the scanner. Both the color and grayscale image will be
added to the batch. There is no configuration required.
Hole fill Hole fill will fill round or rectangular holes found near the edge of the page.
The scanner background must be black. You can select Fill Front, which fills
holes found on the front side of a page, or Fill Back, which fills holes found on
the back side of a page.
Auto crop Auto crop will crop the scanned image to remove the background border that
may appear at the end of the image. It is recommended that you use the Auto
crop feature of your scanner if available. There is no configuration required.
Deskew Deskew will correct minor rotation or skew of an image. When selected, Auto
crop will be automatically selected. There is no configuration required.

8 Auto Import
Overview Auto Import allows you to import images into Capture Pro Software without
the use of a local scanner or manual intervention. This is done by observing
special directories called “watch folders”. Files to be imported will be copied
into subfolders within a watch folder which are called Auto Import or AI batch
folders. Auto import extracts images from these files and streams them into the
Capture Pro Software workstation just as if they had originated from a local
scanner.
To auto import files create an AI batch folder in a watch folder. The processing
instructions for this AI batch folder have been defined in the Auto Import Setup
process and associated with the watch folder that the AI batch folder is
contained within. A countdown timer will then be started on the new AI batch.
The user will copy files (which may be contained in nested subfolders) into the
AI batch folder. Every time a new file appears anywhere in the AI batch folder
or its subfolders, the countdown timer will be reset to its initial value and the
countdown will begin again. If the timer expires, the AI batch folder will be
locked and added to the end of an auto import capture queue for processing.
See the section entitled, “Auto Import operation” for more information.
For MFP (Multiple Function Printers) type devices that are not able to create AI
batch folders, image files may be copied directly to the watch folder.
Special batch separation rules can be specified for auto import so new batches
can optionally be created for each new AI batch. Aside from that, processing
will occur as in any other scan job according the job and page setup rules.
Every AI batch will be completely processed before moving to the next.
These image file formats are supported: tiff, jpg, pdf, bmp, ioca, modca, gif,
cmp and png.
198 A-61750 November 2016
Auto Import Setup 1. Select Auto Import Setup from the Capture menu. The Auto Import Setup
dialog box will be displayed.
NOTE: The settings you make on this dialog box apply to any AI batches
created within the specified auto import location (watch folder).
2. Select Start Auto Import when application is launched to automatically
begin watching your auto import watch folder when Capture Pro is
launched.
3. Enter a name for this auto import setup. The name is a user-friendly
reference and does not refer to a folder name or any other specific
reference.
4. Select a location for the auto import watch folder associated with this auto
import configuration. Auto import will monitor this folder for the creation of
new AI batch folders and will process the AI batch after the timeout interval
has expired (see the section entitled, “Auto Import operation” for more
information).
A-61750 November 2016 199
There are several conditions that apply to the watch folder.
• The watch folder must have Read / Write access to any user running
Capture Pro Software.
• The watch folder needs to be writeable from any intended image source.
If it will be accessed from a network, you need to confirm that network
sharing is setup to allow Write access from any users, network scanners
or other devices which copy files into the watch folder.
• Capture Pro Software will not attempt to configure any file share or set
user access privileges on the watch folder. Configuration and file
sharing is your responsibility.
• The watch folder must be a local or mapped drive.
5. Select an auto import timeout interval. This interval should be based on the
maximum delay expected from any source which sends files to the watch
folder. This can vary a great deal depending on the operation. For
example:
• Network Scanner — a user has set up a Scan Station 500 to send
images directly to a watch folder over a network. The operation consists
of scanning a stack of paper, removing it from the scanner, picking up
the next stack, and resuming the scan operation. There is a 60-second
delay required to make this transition. The watch folder has been
configured with a 120-second delay in order to allow the user to pick up
the next stack without timing out and closing the AI batch.
• Copy images from network folder — a user has a set of files that were
captured using another scanner (or another input source). Transferring
them to the Capture Pro Software workstation for auto import requires a
“copy” operation. The local network delivers images at one-second
intervals. The timeout interval is set at 10 seconds.
Refer to the section entitled, “Auto Import operation” for more information.
6. Select or create a job setup to be associated with this watch folder.
200 A-61750 November 2016
7. Select or create a page setup to be associated with this watch folder. Page
setup options are restricted to those shown below.
A-61750 November 2016 201
8. Select Separation Options to select batch and document separation
options for the auto import folder and any subfolders it may contain. You
may also choose to create a new document for each file. This option is
useful if each file contains a multi-page document.
The Separation Options are limited when files are copied directly to the
watch folder because a folder and subfolder will not exist. The only option
that may be used is For each file create new document. When this
option is unchecked, all the files copied to the watch folder will be placed in
a single document. When this option is checked, a new document will be
created for each file.
9. Select Backup the files to and specify a backup location if you want to
archive the contents of the AI batch when auto import is complete.
Archive will copy the entire content of an AI batch to the specified archive
location including any unprocessed files (such as spreadsheets or word
processing documents) in their original form along with the original image
files.
• A single archive location can be used for multiple watch folders.
• You do not have to create a unique archive folder for every auto import
setup.
• The archive location must be a local or mapped drive.
10. Specify the number of errors that are allowed before auto import
processing is interrupted. Errors occur when an image file cannot be
properly read. These errors do not apply to indexing errors or anything else
other than the ability to open and read the contents of a supported image
file. If the value in Maximum import errors drop-down box is exceeded,
processing will stop and a dialog box will be displayed allowing the user to
retry the bad image, skip the bad image, or abort the auto import. See the
section entitled, “Error handling” for more information regarding error
handling and recovery.
11. Specify a location for unreadable files to be copied to in the Cache the
error files and data to field. During auto import processing, if a supported
file cannot be opened, a “place holder” image will be substituted and the
erroneous image will be copied into the error cache.
NOTE: The error cache location must be a local or mapped drive.
12. Click OK when finished.
202 A-61750 November 2016
Auto Import
operation
NOTE: Special icons have been added to some of the folders in the following
examples for clarity. These icons will not appear on the actual folders
in a real auto import setup.
Following the AIDemo1 auto import setup previously described the directories
will look like this:
To enable Auto Import, select File>Workstation Setup, then select Auto
Import as your source. This disables all scanners and scanner-specific
setups. If you have not selected Start Auto Import when application is
launched, then you will need to select Start as if you were starting a scanner.
Auto import will begin watching all previously defined watch folders for
incoming files, actively monitors all watch folders and processes any new AI
batch jobs in first-in, first-out order until Stop is selected. To resume normal
scanning operations, select File>Workstation Setup and select your scanner.
NOTE: If an auto import setup becomes obsolete, it should be deleted before
related folders are manually removed to avoid error messages.
To create a new AI batch, a new AI batch folder will be created in the watch
folder.
A-61750 November 2016 203
The timer will begin to count down. After 5 seconds, no new files have been
added to the AI batch folder (06112009_AIBatch) and the counter is now at 5.
Whenever a file appears in the AI batch folder, or any subfolder of the AI batch
folder, the timer is reset.
204 A-61750 November 2016
Subfolders within the AI batch folders can be nested. The timer on the parent
AI batch folder will be reset. Additions to nested subfolders within
06112009_AIBatch will reset this timer. Nested subfolders do not have their
own timers. There is only one timer for the 06112009_AIBatch.
NOTE: Paths that exceed 256 characters may not be supported by the
Windows operating system. It is recommended that subfolders and file
names be kept within this limit.
A new AI batch folder can appear in the watch folder at any time. It will get its
own timer and operate independently of other AI batches.
A-61750 November 2016 205
When a timer expires, the AI batch folder is locked, and inserted into the auto
import processing queue.
Other jobs will be inserted into the processing queue as their timers expire.
The Auto Import processing queue will be processed in first-in, first-out order.
In this example, the entire contents of 06112009_AIBatch will be processed
followed by 06112009_AIBatch2. Since these two AI batches have the same
job setup (they came from the same watch folder), a batch separator will be
inserted between the two AI batches according to the AIDemo1 job setup.
Files within an AI batch will be processed by recursively iterating through files
and subfolders and processing their contents in alphanumeric order.
206 A-61750 November 2016
However, since ALL AI batches share the same Auto Import processing
queue, if an AI batch from a different watch folder were to be next in the queue,
a batch separator would be inserted regardless of auto import setup options.
AI batches in the Auto Import processing queue will be processed in first-in,
first-out order. There is no management facility for this queue. All AI batches
will be processed in their entirety, in sequence barring errors (see Error
handling, below).
When the entire batch has been processed, the original files will optionally be
copied into the archive.
Server/Service
configuration
Installing Auto Import on a Windows Server operating system provides a more
robust environment and minimizes operator involvement. It is recommended
that the watch folder also be located on the same server.
1. Install Capture Pro Auto Import on the server using the procedure found in
the Auto Import Setup section.
NOTE: The Intel Standard Image Processing library is not installed on the
Windows 2008 server by default. If you see the system error, The
program can’t start because STI.dll is missing from your
computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
•Select Start>All Programs>Administrative Tools.
•Select Server Manager.
•Select Features from left panel, then select Add Features.
•Select Desktop Experience then click Install.
NOTE: The Ink and Handwriting Services may also be required
and will be installed automatically.
• You will be prompted to restart the server after installation is
complete.
2. Launch Capture Pro and configure your Auto Import job(s).
Be sure to check the option: Start Auto Import when application is
launched.
NOTE: If the watch folder is not located on the server, the Capture Pro
Auto Import Service will need to have read and write access to the
watch folder. This is typically difficult because services have no
defined user.
3. Verify that Auto Import works properly.
4. Shut down Capture Pro Software.
5. Download the Capture Pro Auto Import Service from the Capture Pro
Software website at www.kodakalaris.com/go/CaptureProAIService.
6. Install Capture Pro Auto Import Service on the same server on which
Capture Pro Auto Import is installed.
7. By default the Kodak Capture Pro Auto Import Service will be configured
for Automatic startup and will have an initial status of Stopped. Manually
start the service or restart the server.
A-61750 November 2016 207
Capture Pro Auto Import is now running on the server. Any image files placed
in the watch folder will be imported and processed as described by the Job
selected in the Auto Import setup.
Auto Import will be launched automatically whenever the server is restarted.
To modify or add job setups, stop the Kodak Capture Pro Auto Import Service
and manually launch Capture Pro Software. When updates are complete, shut
down Capture Pro Software and manually start the Kodak Capture Pro Auto
Import Service or restart the server.
NOTE: If a Job setup is modified in a shared workgroup environment, Auto
Import needs to be stopped and restarted for the changes to take
effect.
Auto Import Service Properties
If it is necessary to change the Auto Import service Log On from the default
Local System account to a User account, make sure to add the user to the
Local Administration group.
Error handling When a batch is being processed, if a supported image file cannot be opened:
• the bad file will be copied into the error cache,
• a generic “error” image will substituted, and
• the error count for the AI batch will be incremented.
If the error threshold defined in the batch setup has been reached, processing
of the batch will stop. A dialog box will be displayed with the following options:
- Ignore: move ahead to the next image. The batch will resume processing
until the next bad image is encountered.
- Abort: the remaining files in the batch will be copied into the error cache
and auto import will stop. Following an abort, when restarted, auto import
proceeds with the next batch in the queue. There is no automated recovery
procedure for batches copied into the error cache. The user will have to
locate and correct the bad files and manually reinsert the batch into the
watch folder.

9 Feature Patch Setup
Overview The Feature Patch Setup capability found in the Capture Pro File menu allows
you to set up advanced parameters to change Job Setups or Page Setups
automatically during scanning. When a patch code with predefined conditions
is scanned, either page or job setup will change without any operator action
needed.
Effective use of Feature Patch requires document preparation to add patch
page(s) to the batch.
This feature is only enabled for scanners that support feature patches (e.g.
Kodak i5x50 scanners). If your scanner does not support feature patch, this
option will be disabled. This chapter provides information and procedures on
how to select options on Feature Patch General and Setup tabs.
You will need to:
1. Set up one or more patch pages to signal setup changes.
2. Configure Capture Pro for the change meant by each patch page.
To access Feature Patch Setup, select Feature Patch Setup... from the
Capture Pro File menu.
210 A-61750 November 2016
Feature Patch Setup -
General tab
The Feature Patch Setup window allows you to define when and how setup
changes will happen, based on patch codes read by the scanner. The General
tab of the window has the following options:
Enable Feature Patch on — choose the patch type for your feature patch
page. Valid feature patches are Patch 10, Patch 11, Patch 12, Patch 13, Patch
14, or Patch 15.
Sample Image — choose an image already stored as a sample image, to
define the rule for this patch. The drop-down list contains all the images that
have been scanned for feature patch setup. You must have at least one image
in this list before you can define a bar code or OCR zone.
Icons
Start/Scan — opens the Scan Image dialog box, which allows
you to enter an Image name and scan an image containing bar
codes, OCR text segments or mark areas.
NOTE: Capture Pro Software will use whatever Page Setup is
currently selected, to scan the sample image.
Draw region — allows you to draw a rectangle around a bar
code or OCR text segment on the scanned image and then
displays the Bar Code Zone Setup or OCR Zone Setup dialog
box.
Magnify — enlarges a portion of the image. You can enlarge
any area on the image where you place the Magnify tool and
click and hold.
Pan — allows you to move the image around when the image is
larger than the Feature Patch Setup image window.
Zoom in — zooms in on the image.
A-61750 November 2016 211

verify your choice.
212 A-61750 November 2016
Create a feature
patch page
Create a patch page that will be used to initiate a setup change. Use either
Patch 10, Patch 11, Patch 12, Patch 13, Patch 14, or Patch 15. The patch
page must be customized with either a barcode or text.
NOTE: Only one zone is allowed for Feature Patch Setup. To have multiple
ways to change setups, create one patch page for each.
For example the Patch 10 page below on the left could be used to implement a
setup change such as, “If bar code value is 12345678, then change Page
Setup to Color 150 DPI.”
The Patch 10 page below on the right could be used to implement a setup
change such as, “If OCR zone = ‘Scan to PDF’ then change job to Scan to
PDF.”
Create feature patch
setup
1. Once you have prepared your patch sheet(s) you will configure the Feature
Patch Setup. On the General tab, check Enable Feature Patch on. Select
the feature patch type that you have customized for this function, from the
drop-down list.
2. Choose an image of your patch page from the Sample Image drop-down
list, or scan in the patch page you created in “Create a feature patch page”.
3. Create a bar code zone for the bar code or an OCR zone for the text that
you added to the patch page.
4. Test the zone to be sure your bar code or text will be recognized.
5. Use the image right-click menu as needed to adjust your image or zone.
6. Next, set up one or more rules to define the setup change that will happen,
when the scanner recognizes this patch page.
A-61750 November 2016 213
Feature Patch Setup -
Setup tab
After enabling feature patch and setting up a sample image page with a bar
code or OCR zone, you will need to create a rule to follow when the feature

10 Troubleshooting
Problem solving Occasionally you may encounter a situation with Kodak Capture Pro Software.
Use the chart below as a guide to check possible solutions to help you resolve
the situation before calling Technical Support.
Problem Possible Solution
Conflict found that will prevent OCR
functions and PDF output from working
The conflict is likely caused by an older version of the OmniPage SDK
Toolkit (from Nuance/ScanSoft), Version 12 or earlier, that was installed
on your PC. If the following Nuance DLL files are present in the
Windows\System32 directory on your PC, then this is the cause of the
conflict:
Formatter.dll
Lecsomgr.dll
Prerendering.dll
RecDiag.dll
Rnapi.dll
To resolve the conflict, remove these DLL files from the System32
directory and restart Capture Pro Software.
More recent versions of ScanSoft/Nuance applications (such as
PaperPort and OmniPage) no longer install their DLL files in the
System32 directory, so removing these files should not impact any other
applications that you may be running on your PC.
Cannot open batch If you try to open a batch and this message is displayed, verify that you
have read-write access to the scanned image folder.
System is running slow
Depending on your scanning resolution and feature set, there may be
some modes that do not drive your scanner at full rated speed using the
minimum system hardware requirements. It is recommended that you
increase your CPU speed and system memory.
For optimum performance:
• Pentium IV, 2.8 GHz (or equivalent) CPU
• 2 GB system memory (or higher)
• Hard disk: at least 40 GB (7200 rpm)
216 A-61750 November 2016
Clearing errors The Kodak Capture Pro Batch Process Status window provides information on
batches that you are preparing for output from Kodak Capture Pro Software.
To view the Batch Status window:
•Select Batch>View Batch Output Status.
To clear the errors:
• Click on the Job Name to Clear All Errors or Clear Selected Errors.
Command line login Capture Pro Software will support a login from the command in the form:
Capture.exe/username<username>/password<password>
For example, a user with the username “tester” and password “123465” could
launch Capture Pro Software with the command:
Capture.exe/username tester/password 123465
If the user is using the current Windows user name to log into Capture Pro
Software, then they may launch Capture Pro Software with the command:
Capture.exe/username
Problem Possible Solution
Conflict found or installation problem
that prevents patch code (or bar code)
functions from working
The conflict may be caused by an older version of an AMP release or
toolkit (from All My Papers) that was installed on your PC. If any of the
following AMP DLL files are present in the Windows\System32 directory
on your PC, then this is the cause of the conflict:
amplm.dll
amplib.dll
ampPX.dll
To resolve the conflict, remove these DLL files from the System32
directory and restart Capture Pro Software.
Newly developed System Output
Destinations do not appear in the Job
Setup>Output>System "Send to"
drop-down list
This may be caused by a missing Microsoft Windows component which
is required for newer System Output Destinations to run properly.

following messages is encountered.
Frequently Asked
Questions — Button
Manager
Question: When I am using more than one Kodak Alaris scanning application
(i.e., Smart Touch and Desktop) which one is used with the button on my
Kodak Scanner?
Answer: The Kodak Alaris scanning application that is activated by the button
on your Kodak Scanner varies depending on the operating system running on
the PC your scanner is attached to, the order in which the applications were
launched, and whether or not the user has administrative rights. See the next
question for how to configure your PC for use with the scanner button.
Question: Can I configure my PC so a specific application is used with the
scanner button?
Answer: Yes, this is done by using the scanner’s Properties settings.
1. Login as an administrator.
2. Go to Control Panel>Scanners and Cameras.
3. Select the scanner attached to your PC.
4. Select the Events tab.
5. Configure the scanner button to start the program that you want to use for
that button number.
6. Log off the administrator account.
7. Login as a non-administrator account.
You can assign an application to each individual button number by using this
method. For example, buttons 1 through 4 can be set to activate Desktop and
buttons 5 through 9 can be set to activate Smart Touch.
NOTE: For Windows 7 and Windows 8, you must login as the “super”
administrator.
Messages Probable Cause/Remedy
License code verification code
failed because no hardware key
could be detected.
Kodak Capture Pro Software could not detect a hardware (WIBU) key.
• Be sure the WIBU key is securely inserted into the USB port of your PC.
The batch cannot be opened
because it is currently in use by
another user.
If you are scanning in a multiple-scanner environment and the batch has
already been opened by another workstation, Kodak Capture Pro Software
will not allow you to open the batch until the batch is closed by the other user.
Recognition of bar codes, patch
codes, and OCR is possible with
color (or grayscale) images, but
scanning performance may be
improved if your Page Setup scans
both color (grayscale) and black
and white images, then deletes the
black and white images.
Information. You can use color or grayscale setups for barcode, but it is not
recommended. Click OK on the Information message, close all windows and
select a black and white Page Setup, then go back to the Bar Code Setup and
scan the image.
218 A-61750 November 2016
Question: If I have both Capture Pro Software and Smart Touch installed on
my PC, how can I configure my PC so that Capture Pro Software is always
used when a scanner button is pressed.
Answer: Follow the procedure below:
1. Login as an administrator.
2. Exit Smart Touch and uncheck Run application at Windows startup.
3. Launch Capture Pro Software.
4. Log off the administrator account.
5. Login as a non-administrator account.
NOTE: The same steps will work if you have Capture Desktop installed
instead of Capture Pro Software.
Question: If I have both Capture Pro Software and Smart Touch installed on
my PC, how can I configure my PC so Smart Touch is always used when a
scanner button is pressed?
Answer: Follow the procedure below:
1. Login as an administrator.
2. Launch Smart Touch.
3. Right-click on the scanner icon in the system tray.
4. Select Remove icon.
5. Make sure the Run application at Windows startup checkbox is
checked. If it is not, check the box and exit Smart Touch.
6. Launch Smart Touch again.
7. Log off the administrator account.
8. Login as a non-administrator account.
NOTE: If you are typically logged on as an administrator when using Capture
Pro Software and Smart Touch, then the last application launched will
be the one that is used when a scanner button is pressed.
Question: How does configuring the scanner button from the Properties dialog
box differ from configuring the button from the system tray?
Answer: Each serves a different purpose. When using the scanner’s
Properties dialog box you are instructing the PC which application to activate
when the scanner’s button is pressed. The application activated can depend
on the scanner button number displayed on the scanner.
When using the system tray (by right-clicking on the application icon displayed
in the system tray) to configure the button setup for the application, you are
instructing the application what operation to perform when the button is
pressed (e.g., Scan to PDF, Scan to email, etc.). The operation performed
depends on the button number displayed on the scanner.
A-61750 November 2016 219
Question: Why is the scanner Properties Event dialog box displayed when I
press the scanner button?
Answer: The operating system displays this dialog box when the button is
pressed and none of the Kodak Alaris applications are running. Select an
application listed in the dialog box to associate the scanner button to that
application.
Question: Can the buttons of non-Kodak scanners be configured to use
shortcuts?
Answer: No. The Button Manager, Shortcut Setup only supports Kodak
scanners.

Appendix A Glossary
Attachment — when scanning a multi-page document, an attachment refers
to those pages that are in addition to the lead or first page of the document.
For instance, when scanning a 3-page document, pages 2 and 3 are
considered attachments.
Auto Crop — automatically removes the border of an image.
Auto Deskew — automatically straightens the image.
Bar code zone — a bar code zone is a section of an image defined as the
location that may contain a barcode. Multiple different locations and
characteristics (e.g., bar code type) may be set up on an image. The bar codes
within these zones may be used for separation or indexing.
Batch — a collection of documents. A job can be used as the basis for
creating many batches (each up to 999999999 documents; essentially
unlimited). Processing a batch means converting the batch to a specific output
format (i.e., single-page TIFF, PDF, LaserFiche, etc.) and sending it to a batch
destination folder/subdirectory. Batches can be processed one by one
or together.
Document — a paper document is a collection of pages; an electronic
document is also a collection of pages, each of which is represented by one or
more images. A document containing many pages is called a multi-page
document (e.g., a file folder or article).
Document index — the document index links search fields (up to 10 search
fields) with the document number of each document. The document index can
be built manually or automatically with bar codes, OCR, mark detection values
or default values.
Dual Stream — also referred to as simultaneous scanning — is the scanner’s
ability to produce both color/grayscale and black and white images
simultaneously without any further processing required by the host computer.
File format — a bit-mapped graphic file format that is usable for color,
grayscale and black and white images.
Grayscale — a range of gray tones that cover the entire visible light spectrum
from white to black.
Image — the scanner converts sides to images. Every image belongs to a
document with a unique document number. Capture Pro Software gives every
image a sequential number inside its document. One document can contain
up to 999999999 (e.g., essentially unlimited) images. Capture Pro Software
distinguishes between an image coming from the front or rear side of a
page. This allows Capture Pro Software to perform side-specific processing
(e.g., deletion of blank rear sides) where appropriate.
Capture Pro Software also distinguishes between color, grayscale, and black
and white images and can perform color/grayscale versus black and white
specific processing.
Example: Document 250 contains two double-sided pages and produces an
electronic document number 250, which contains four images (1-4).

Index file audit — the verifying system that ensures all index values comply
with the input/output format.
Job — Kodak Capture Pro Software is “job” based. A job is a configuration that
defines what to do with a set of documents that you want to scan. For
example, you may use a job to scan all the pages in the scanner’s feeder and
create a single PDF file with the option to type in a name for the PDF file (a
default job supplied with Capture Pro Software called “Scan to PDF”).
A job contains all of the settings related to document capture and can be either
general settings for any type of document or specifically set for a particular
document type (i.e., invoices or personnel records). These settings can include
bar code settings, document or batch separation, index definitions, OCR
settings as well as settings related to the output files you want to create (JPEG,
TIFF, PDF, Searchable PDF, PNG, etc.), or the document management system
you will send the documents to (Microsoft SharePoint, LaserFiche, etc.).
To scan documents in a job, you need to create a batch to hold the scanned
documents, images and data before you output them.
Kodak Capture Pro Software is shipped with three pre-defined jobs.
• Ready to Scan: a simple job setup allowing you to get familiar with Capture
Pro Software and start scanning right away.
• Scan to PDF: similar to Ready to Scan, this job will scan a document and
display the first page and prompt the user to enter a filename. The filename
is used when the documents are output.
• Scan to e-mail: similar to Scan to PDF. When the PDF file is created, the
user’s email account will automatically be opened with the PDF attached
and ready to send to an email recipient.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) — a popular standard for
compressing color still images.
ODBC (Open DataBase Connectivity) — a standard database access method
developed by the SQL Access group. This method makes it possible to access
any data from any application, regardless of which database management
system (DBMS) is handling the data.
OCR (Optical Character Recognition) — the process of recognizing printed
characters by a software application.
Output — the processing of the scanned images and delivering them, with any
index data, to the next stage in the document’s lifecycle. Other software
applications may call this the Release process whereby the scanned
documents are “released” to the next step.
Page — a page in paper form is part of a paper document. A page can
produce one image (single-sided page), two images (double-sided page), or
four images (both color and black and white) after scanning. An electronic
page associates all the images produced when the paper page was scanned.
A-61750 November 2016 223
Page Setup (Scanner Settings Profiles) — page setups hold all of the settings
used to tell the scanner how to capture images. These include scan settings
(e.g., Black & White, Grayscale or Color, one-sided or two-sided scanning) and
imaging settings (i.e., rotation, resolution, etc.)
Kodak Capture Pro is installed with many pre-defined settings to capture
images or you can easily create your own custom profiles.
Page setup is a two-stage process:
• First, setup a scanner-specific “scanner profile” in the scanner’s driver which
contains the physical scanning settings. This tells the scanner how to
capture the images (i.e., resolution, front/back, scanner imaging
enhancements, etc.).
• Second, setup a Capture Pro Software Page Setup that contains the
“scanner profile” to use when scanning and any software-related settings for
scanned pages. These include any image rotation (if not supported by the
scanner), blank page removal, image merging (join both front/rear of a
check into a single image file) or image splitting (split an A3 into two A4
images), etc.
Scan Cache — the location where images are stored after being scanned into
a batch and before the batch is processed. By default, the scan cache is
defined to be on the local hard drive (e.g., C:\) of the scanning PC.
Side — one page has two sides, front and rear. With single-sided pages, the
rear is blank.
Simultaneous scanning — see dual stream.
System Output Destination — determines the image format (e.g., TIFF, PDF,
JPEG, PNG) and output destination for a batch that is processed. Included are
the name and output directory structure for image files and index files.
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) — a bitmapped graphic file format that is
usable for color, grayscale and black and white images.

Appendix D Using Custom Dictionaries
A custom dictionary may be defined and used to improve the accuracy of
recognizing unique or unusual words that appear in your document set. For
example your documents may contain business specific or medical terms not
found in language dictionaries.
To create a custom dictionary:
1. Select the Custom Dictionary Browse button. The Open dialog box will be
displayed. A sample custom dictionary will be created in the folder <current
Job>\User Dictionary. The custom dictionary will be named
“custom.yyyyMMdd.sud.
2. If desired, enter a different file name. The file name must have the
extension sud.
3. Click Open.
4. Navigate to the custom dictionary file just created and open the file with
any text editor.
NOTE: The text editor must be capable of saving the file with UNICODE
encoding.
230 A-61750 November 2016
5. Enter the desired words or phrases as shown in the file, placing a single
item on each line. For example:
[Literal]
Count = 3
Item0 = Hello
Item1 = World
Item2 = 345
NOTE: Be sure that the Count value is set equal to the number of items
you entered.
6. Save the file using UNICODE encoding.
NOTE: If you want to share a custom dictionary among several jobs, you can
place the custom dictionary *.sud file in any common folder. For
example: …\KCS Pro\Job Setup\User Dictionary. Make sure that you
have selected this custom dictionary in each job that needs to use the
dictionary.
A-61750 November 2016 231
Appendix E Network Edition
Kodak Capture Pro Software Network Edition enables Capture Pro
workstations to interoperate with each other using a set of Network Edition
servers for the purpose of:
• Remote Administration which automatically shares setups between
connected workstations
• a centralized License server which enables dongle-free operation of clients
• centralized batch counters
• Remote Output for off loading computer-intensive output jobs to output
servers
Remote
Administration (RA)
Kodak Capture Pro Software maintains its various “setups” (Job, Page, User,
etc.) in files. Kodak Capture Pro Software Network Edition allows workstations
to share a global, common set of setups by replicating these files between
participating workstations. If these workstations do not require setup changes
or access to other Remote Administration functions (i.e., batch counters),
some operations can be performed offline.
All workstations in a Network Edition workgroup share the same setup files.
Local, unique setups that are specific to a workstation are not supported.
Although the Remote Administration is designed for casual use by a small
number of administrators, safeguards are built in to prevent inadvertent data
overwrites by users updating the same setup in parallel.
232 A-61750 November 2016
Initial synchronization When a Capture Pro Software Network Edition client initially starts up, it will
synchronize with its RA server. This may take several minutes.
During synchronization:
• Any setups on the server that do not exist on the client will be copied to the
client.
• Any setups on the client that do not exist on the server will be copied to the
server.
• If a duplicate setup exists, the server’s setup will overwrite the client’s setup.
When this operation is successful, periodic updates will maintain the common
setups across workstations and it is not necessary to resynchronize when the
application restarts.
If any errors occur during synchronization, the client will exit and the operation
will be restarted.
Setup updates Once synchronized, Network Edition clients will periodically poll the RA server
to check for updates.
Each specific setup is versioned and a database is maintained for each client
indicating every setup and current version. If a new setup or newer version of
an existing setup is detected on the server, it will automatically be downloaded
to the client.
Data conflicts Versioning is also used to prevent data conflicts during the creation or update
of a setup. When a user creates or changes a setup, the following occurs:
1. The user opens a Setup dialog box.
2. The system checks to be sure no one is currently changing setups. Since
some files are shared between setup types, only one workstation at a time
is allowed to perform updates. If any setups are open, the user will be
prompted to try again later.
NOTE: An override option is available but is not recommended. This will
allow a user to steal the lock but it may result in data conflicts.
3. The user saves the new or changed setup.
4. The update service verifies that the workstation has the most recent
version of the setup (if it previously existed).
If the service detects that the server has a more recent version, a Data
Conflict error will be returned to the application. Although this is rare, if this
does happen, it is a result of a user stealing the setup or some other
background update that occurred as a side effect of some other
processing. The user can:
• select another name for the setup or discard their changes, or
• exit the Setup window, wait for the conflict to be resolved and reattempt
the change following an update cycle.
A-61750 November 2016 233
5. The update service will lock the setup which prevents other workstations
from modifying it while the upload is in progress. If the update service
cannot obtain a lock (another user is in the process of updating the setup)
a Data Conflict error will result. Remedies for this are the same as
described in Step 2.
6. If no data conflicts occur, the setup will be uploaded to the server which will
then increment the version for the specific setup files.
7. Other workstations will detect the more recent version(s) on the server and
download it.
Although changes are submitted from a client to the server when they are
made, downloading new setups from the server to the client occurs
periodically and is not event-driven. Therefore, a small delay will occur
between the time a new setup is created and the time it is replicated and
becomes visible on other workstations. It is recommended that at least 2
minutes be allowed for this process to occur. During this time, data conflicts
may persist but simply waiting for the update cycle to occur should bring things
back into synch and allow update operations to proceed. Following a data
conflict, it is recommended that users close out any setup windows and reopen
the setup after waiting to allow data refresh to occur.
Deleting and renaming
setups
Currently, setups cannot be deleted or renamed because it is impossible to
detect if other workstations in the NE workgroup have the setup in use. This
may be re-enabled in a future release of Capture Pro Software.
Centralized Batch
counters
The Remote Administration server supports a central batch counting facility,
both at a system level and job level.
These counters are shared throughout the NE workgroup. When a batch is
created, if a batch counter is included in the batch name formula, the NE client
will request the next counter from the RA server and it will be automatically
incremented.
Some changes have been made to the NE client to accommodate this. Since
the counter is global, users can no longer change batch counters when they
create a new batch. The batch name window will be “grayed out”. This implies
that jobs which include batch counters in batch name formulas cannot be used
in off line mode.
In Network Edition, no one can change the system-level batch counters. Job-
level batch counters can still be reset through the job setup; however use
caution when doing this to avoid batch name conflicts.
234 A-61750 November 2016
Remote Output The optional Remote Output server transfers entire batches to remote servers
for output processing. This feature off-loads processor-intensive output tasks
(like creating searchable PDF files) from client workstations. In benchmark
tests, remote output has been demonstrated to improve overall system
throughput significantly for processor-intensive output jobs compared to local
processing or shared folder-based workgroups.
Remote Output is selected on a per-job basis using the Setup menu. Jobs can
be assigned to specific servers, or servers can be selected from a list in round-
robin fashion.
When a Remote Output batch is output:
• the local output processor detects that it is a remote batch, transfers it to the
remote output server, signals the remote server, and sets its local status to
“processed”.
• the Remote Output server processes the batch and updates the batch
information file.
• the Remote Output server detects changes in the status of the remote batch
on the originating client and transfers status information and logs to the
client. If the batch is deleted after processing, it will also be deleted on the
originating workstation. However, the batch history will be maintained on the
Capture Pro Software Server until it is explicitly removed.
If any errors occur during processing, corrections must be made on the
originating workstation and the entire batch resubmitted. No Capture Pro client
user interface is available on the server.
Output server
configuration
Remote output servers are not self configuring. Many job setups are
dependent on the presence of various plug in’s, the existence of particular
paths and directories, user dictionaries, and other optional manually
configured parameters. The system administrator must configure the Remote
Output server so that all necessary support software and other configurations
are in place to support the job mix that is intended to be processed on the
server.
License server The License server provides on-demand licenses to NE client workstations. It
is an optional feature of Network Edition and standard dongle-based licenses
can continue to be used in combination with the other features described in
this section.
To operate in “dongle-free” mode and obtain a license from the License server,
the user only needs to unplug any dongles and restart the Capture Pro client.
Upon startup, if the client does not detect a dongle, it will automatically request
a license from the server.
Licenses are requested and renewed automatically and transparently. A user
will be informed only if a failure occurs.
Upon receiving a license request, the License server will look for an available
license. The License server maintains a set of licenses at various scanner
levels. When the License server receives a license request, it will search the
license table for a license that matches the exact scanner level requested.
A-61750 November 2016 235
• If no license is available, the License server issues the next highest
available license. Licenses are issued in the following rank order: A, B,
Indexing, C, D, DX, E, F, G. Therefore, if all A’s have been issued, a request
for an A license may be fulfilled with a B license or higher.
• Auto Import license requests may result in the issuance of an Auto Import
“Edition” license (which only allows Auto Import) or an E or above (which
allows Auto Import as well as enabling appropriate scanners).
• If none are available, the request will fail.
Once a client (or output server) receives a license it will be automatically
renewed. Administrators can monitor available licenses, when they were
granted, and when they will expire using the Capture Pro Dashboard.
Sometimes if a workstation goes into “sleep” mode a license renewal may fail.
In this event, a message will be displayed informing them that the license
renewal failed, but after clicking OK a new license will be obtained
automatically. Normally, clients renew their licenses transparently in the
background.
Each license is granted for a specific duration. If it is not renewed within this
period, the client will be unable to operate. This duration is currently set to 10
minutes. The client will continue to operate for this interval while issuing
warnings that the license is due to expire.
If a license fails to renew due to sporadic communication failures or other
issues, it should only be necessary to acknowledge any error messages and
the client will automatically obtain a new license. Some errors may require an
application reset.
Fail over Network Edition clients have the ability to “fail over” without reconfiguring
software. If a server fails, an administrator can enable a backup server which
has been pre-configured into each clients’ server map and it will automatically
find the server.
• License server fail over is largely transparent. An initial license renewal
failure will be observed, but after a user clicks OK, the request will
automatically fail over to the next License server on the list. No further user
action is required.
• Remote Administration server fail over is less transparent than License
server fail over. As described above, all workstations in a NE workgroup
share identical setups. When moving to a different server, clients will have to
perform the initial synchronization operation again to bring them into synch
with the new server.
Therefore, when a new server is started up, it should be done with the full
awareness of all participating clients which must all be restarted in order for the
initial synchronization to occur.

Replacing a license The Replace License functions are used to replace an original license that has
been lost due to equipment failure or loss. Replacing a license that is not lost is
a violation of the license agreement and may result in the forfeit of the license.
Replace Lost License — if the replacement workstation has internet access,
this option will retrieve and install a new license for this workstation.
Request Replacement — if the replacement workstation does not have
internet access, use this option to create a license replacement request file.
This file may be moved to a computer with internet access and sent to the
Kodak license server using Upload Request.
Upload Request — this option is used on a computer with internet access to
send the replacement license request file to the Kodak license server.
Install License — this function is used on the workstation without internet
access to install the license retrieved from a computer with internet access.
