To use this method enable the By blank page option and select the desired settings.
Page 60: Testing Your Settings
• 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 will scan are different sizes, a small page may fall below your blank image byte count even though it contains data. In this case, you may prefer to describe a blank image by specifying % content rather than byte size.
Page 61: Job Setup: Index Tab
Job Setup: Indexing is a sophisticated feature that allows you to add data processing functions to your scanning, capturing and outputting of images at the Index tab document and batch level. You can set up indexing formulas that check the accuracy of metadata contained in OCR zones and bar code zones.
Page 62: Adding A Document Index Field
Bypass audit during navigation — when checked, disables the audit function when navigating through documents in the Batch Explorer.

10 Auto Import Contents Overview ....................10-1 Auto Import Setup ..................10-2 Auto Import operation ................10-6 Error handling ..................10-9 Overview Auto Import allows you to import images into Capture Pro Software without the use of a local scanner or manual intervention. It does this by observing special directories called “watch folders”.
Page 206 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.
Page 207 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, the administrator needs 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.
Page 208 7. Select or create a page setup to be associated with this watch folder. Page setup options are restricted to those shown below. 10-4 A-61635 December 2010...
Page 209 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. 9.
Page 210 Auto Import 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 operation 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.
Page 211 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.
Page 212 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.
Page 213 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.
Page 214 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.

Page 238 • Remote Output for off loading computer-intensive output jobs to output servers Remote Administration Kodak Capture Pro Software maintains its various “setups” (Job, Page, User, etc.) in files. Kodak Capture Pro Software Network Edition allows workstations (RA) to share a global, common set of setups by replicating these files between participating workstations.
Page 239: Initial Synchronization
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.
Page 240: Centralized Batch Counters
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.
Page 241: Remote Output
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.
