When no criteria are matched, sets the number of pages which are grouped together as a single document.

Rotate

When no criteria are matched,

  • 90 – Rotate the next scanned page 90° clockwise
  • 180 – Rotate the next scanned page 180° clockwise
  • -90 – Rotate the next scanned page 90° anticlockwise

Destination Data Definition

When no criteria are matched, [ Unassigned ] – No Data Definition is assigned to the Criteria. OR Select a Data Definition from the drop-down list. This Data Definition is then assigned to the Criteria.

Click the Add Criteria button to define the Criteria for the Batch Setting.

Separation

Job Separator Number

Enter the DataStore®DSX Job Separator page being used for this Criteria. See “Open Job Separators” for information on how to print DataStore®DSX job separator sheets.

Note: Double-sided separator sheets are provided for use with duplex scanning.

Barcode Setting

Select Barcode Settings and either select a named barcode setting from the drop-down list, or click the (ellipsis) button to open the Barcode Manager window. See “Barcode Manager”.

The Barcode Settings are used to define the Separators for the scanned pages. When the defined Barcode Settings are found, the next sheet is the first page of a new document.

Behaviour

Collate Every

Sets the number of pages which are grouped together as a single document.

Note: When both Job Separator (Job Separator Number, Barcode Setting or Barcode Value) and Collate Every are set, the first condition to be met is used. Therefore, if a Job Separator is scanned before the number of pages defined by Collate Every are scanned, a new document is started.

Alternatively, if the number of pages defined by Collate Every is scanned without encountering a Job Separator, a new document is started.

Rotate

  • 90 – Rotate the next scanned page 90° clockwise
  • 180 – Rotate the next scanned page 180° clockwise
  • -90 – Rotate the next scanned page 90° anticlockwise
