Using a Patchcode for Scanning

DR-M160 supports batch separation (automatic file separation) functions by using patchcodes.

By tucking patchcode sheets supplied with this scanner into a document and scanning it, the scanner can automatically separate files by images of documents containing patchcode sheets (or documents after the patchcode sheet).

Hint

•This function can be used with the supplied CapturePerfect software. Other applications that support this function include ISIS- compatible applications. It is not supported by TWAIN-compatible applications.

•Patchodes are included with this product in PDF format. Applications that can read PDF files such as the supplied CapturePerfect are required to use this function.

The following patchcodes are installed together with the scanner driver as PDF files.
