Chapter 3 Basic Operation

6. Using Patchcode Sheets (Option)

When the optional patchcode decoder is installed, the DR-X10C supports Automatic File Separation by detecting patchcode sheets inserted within a document, and performs batch separation.

About Patchcode Sheets

Patchcode patterns are printed on the patchcode sheets used to automatically separate files. Patchcode pattern icons are registered in the following location when the ISIS/TWAIN driver is installed.

IMPORTANT

Patchcode sheets can be used only when the application you are using supports separating files by patchcode patterns.

Patchcode sheets are data in PDF format. There are four types; [PATCH II (A4)], [PATCH II (LTR)], [PATCH T (A4)], [PATCH T (LTR)], organized according to the paper size and pattern.

Patchcode sheets cannot be used when the MultiStream function (See “MultiStream Function” on p. 1-8.)is being used by CapturePerfect 3.0.

Printing Patchcode Sheets

Open the desired patchcode sheet file with an application that supports CapturePerfect 3.0 or the PDF file format, and print the page image only at its original size.

IMPORTANT

Print (at original size) PATCH T (A4) and PATCH II (A4) sheets on A4-size paper, or PATCH T (LTR) and PATCH II (LTR) on LTR paper.

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.
