| When an additional patch is detected, this document is |
| considered a Level 0 document and will not cause the IA to |
| change. The image header indicates that this is an additional |
| patch document by returning a patch type, which matches the |
| patch detected. The scanner will not print on documents |
| containing these additional patches. See the section entitled |
| “Controlling image order” earlier in this chapter for examples on |
| how to use additional patches. |
Batching | Batching provides a way for the scanner to perform a specific function |
| after scanning a designated number of documents at a particular IA |
| level. |
| Batching can be enabled or disabled through the host software. |
| The host software has control of which level to count and the |
| number of documents to designate a batch. |
| The Start of Batch function is controlled by the host and |
| determines what happens when a new batch is started. This can |
| be setup to go to Level 1, 2 or 3, which then causes the IA to be |
| recalculated. No functionality can also be assigned. |
| The End of Batch function is controlled by the host and |
| determines what happens when the batch count has been |
| reached. The options are to stop the feeder, end of job, or |
| continue and begin a new batch. No functionality can also be |
| assigned. |
| The host application determines if batching is enabled by |
| defining the number of documents per batch and the image |
| address level to count. |
