Using the Patch Reader
Patch types
The Patch Reader controls document level changes by automatically sensing a predefined patch code and changing the document level accordingly.
During installation, modes are defined for use with specific applications. Patch reading may be enabled or disabled for each mode.
During installation, the patch type(s) used are defined for each mode. The Patch Reader is capable of reading three types of patches.
Patch III — assigns a Level 3 to the current document.
Patch II — assigns a Level 2 to the current document.
Patch T/Transfer Patch — assigns a predetermined level to the next document.
The Transfer Patch Definition is also defined at installation. The Transfer Patch Definition controls the level assigned to the next document when a Transfer Patch is used. For example, if the Transfer Patch Definition for the current mode is defined as Level 3 and a Transfer Patch is used, the next document will be assigned Level 3.
