About Multi-Page Files

When scanning with Scan Batch to File (→P. 48) , Scan Batch to Mail (→P. 53) , or Scan Batch to SharePoint (→P. 56) and when performing Save Open Image (→P. 70) , the Multi Page function can be used to save multiple images to one TIFF or PDF file.

MultiPage Settings

MultiPage settings are made from a settings dialog box when Scan Batch to File (→P. 48) , Scan Batch to Mail (→P. 53) , or Scan Batch to SharePoint (→P. 56) is selected for scanning.

Available MultiPage settings are determined by the file type (BMP, JPEG, TIFF, PDF or PowerPoint) selected in the scan settings dialog box.

When BMP or JPEG is Selected

Only Single Page is available in the list box, and one image is saved per file. Besides, scanning information can be included in the specified File Name by enabling Use Schema. About Schema (→P. 25)

When TIFF, PDF, or PowerPoint is Selected

•Single Page

Multiple scanned page images are saved as one image per file.

•Multi Page (All Pages)

All scanned page images are saved as one multi-page file.

•Multi Page (Specified Pages)

Page Number is enabled, and multiple scanned page images are saved to multiple multi-page files, each with the specified number of pages.

When Multi Page (All Pages) or Multi Page (Specified Pages) is displayed in the list box, multiple page images can be saved in one file.

Note

When Multi Page (Specified Pages) is selected, page images are saved to multiple multi-page files, divided according to the number of pages specified in the Page Number field. Also, the batch separation type specified in the Scan Batch to File (→P. 48) dialog box is changed to None.

About File Naming

Requirements and limitations of file names assigned to images scanned and saved by CapturePerfect are described here.

About File Name Settings

After selecting the TIFF, PDF, or PowerPoint file type and specifying Multi Page (All Pages) or Multi Page (Specified Pages) as the MultiPage Settings, multiple page images are saved in one file. About Multi-Page Files (→P. 23)

About Schema

These settings are always applied to file/folder names saved when Single Page is selected as the MultiPage Settings (→P. 24) . If no Schema settings have been made, a serial number consisting of four digits (by default) is added to the specified file name. Example: docs0001.tif

File Name Settings

Selecting the check boxes in the Schema dialog box causes the checked information to be automatically added to the names of files to be saved.

•The example file name reflects the effects selected by the check boxes.

•When Schema settings are performed with MultiStream settings, "Prim", "Seco", or “Tert” is added to the specified file name.

The character strings to be added are as follows for each selected item:

•The Counter check mark cannot be cleared unless one of the following is selected: Barcode, Imprinter/ Addon, OCR, or Date.

•The Barcode, Imprinter/Addon and OCR check boxes cannot be selected at the same time.

•Barcode is valid when supported by the scanner, and when the Barcode Search scanner setting is enabled. Up to four recognized barcode results can be added. However, the total number of characters added cannot exceed 64.

•Selecting the OCR check box enables OCR recognition and adds the first 64 recognized characters to the file name.

•If you use the value for Barcode or OCR, you can specify the way to add detected character strings to the file name from the list box.

–Use detected string
