5. Using Patchcode Sheets
A patchcode sheet is a sheet on which a special pattern is printed that allows file separation without interrupting scan processes. Patchcode sheets can be used with applications that support patchcode file separation. When the patchcode sheet is scanned and the pattern is recognized, the document pages that follow can be saved as a separate file.
About Patchcode Sheets
Patchcode sheets are registered in the following location when the ISIS/TWAIN driver is installed.

•Patchcode sheets must be printed in their original size. The scanner may not recognize them as patchcode sheets if they are enlarged or reduced.
■Patchcode Pattern Function
There are two types of patchcodes, and their function changes according to their pattern.
PATCH T
When the scanner recognizes this patchcode printed on a patchcode sheet, it creates a separate file for the document that comes after the patchcode sheet. The image of this sheet can be saved or not, depending on the application’s settings.
PATCH II
When the scanner recognizes this patchcode printed on a patchcode sheet, it creates a separate file starting from the patchcode sheet. The image of this sheet is saved, regardless of the application’s settings.
