Scanner Options

5.3.1Patchcodes

With the "Patchcodes" tab several settings can be adjusted concerning the search for Patchcodes. The search can be restricted to the front or rear side of a document, or to a specific search area on the page. In addition, the quality level can be adjusted to look for thinner or thicker Patchcodes, or to report an error if a code could not be identified exactly.

Search Patchcodes on

Enabling this option turns on the search separately for the front and rear

front / rear side

side.

 

 

 

If you disable the search, Patchcode dependent rules will not be

 

available.

Interference Reduction

This filter reduces white pixels from the black area of a Patchcode bar.

 

Noise like this can result from the scanner itself after retreatment of an

 

image by the IP hardware.

Detect thicker / thinner

Patchcodes are defined with fixed sizes. To detect Patchcodes varying

Patchcodes

the slightest bit from this size, one can choose this checkbox.

Stop on Error

With this option enabled, the scanner stops when a Patchcode cannot be

 

identified exactly.

Position and Size of

If the Patchcode bar is not printed over the whole page, but only in a

the Search Area

specific area, a search area can be defined.

 

With the means of these parameters, the location and the size of the

 

search area can be defined.

 

The values are given in 0.1 mm increments.

 

Please note that the upper border of the search area cannot be specified

 

because the upper border is always the top of the sheet.

 

 

 

As a general rule of thumb, the Patchcode should be recognized as

 

soon as possible; that means it should be printed at the upper edge

 

of a sheet (in direction of transport).
