System requirements Following are the minimum software and hardware re qu ire m en ts to run

Capture Software.

Software All systems require Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows

2000, or Windows XP. NOTE: The i200 Series Scanners are on ly su pp or te d und er Window s 98SE,

Windows Me, Windows 2000, and Windows XP.

Hardware • IBM PC (or compatible) with a Pentium 667 MHz processor (m inimum)

Choosing the right processor is important. When the microprocessor is too slow, your PC cannot keep up with the scanner’s speed, and overall productivity decreases. See the followin g table for the processor required for optimal scanning in certain scanning modes.

Scanner Model Scanning Mode Processor Required

i50 Scanner i60 Scanner i80 Scanner

i250 Scanner i260 Scanner

i280 Scanner Color Scanner 3590C

Color Scanner 4500 i820 Scanner

i840 Scanner

Black and white Pentium 667 MHz Grayscale Pentium 1 GHz* Color Pentium 1 GHz* Black and white Pentium 2.5 GHz Grayscale Pentium 2.5 GHz* Color Pentium 2.5 GHz* Color Pentium 1 GHz*

Color Pentium 1.5 GHz*

* For color and grayscale scanning, the PC must have MMX processing

capability and an Intel-based Pentium processor is recommended.

NOTE: If you plan to use the deskew, auto-cr op, and auto-rotate features

when color scanning in Capture Software, the fastest microprocessor available (currently the Pentium IV 2.5 GHz) is recommended.

• 1 GB (<10 msec) hard disk

For color scanning with the i820 Scanner or i840 Scanner, two (2) SCSI hard disk drives are recommended: one for the operating system and one for storing the scanned images. Much more disk space will likely be required for scanned image storage.

1-4 A-63054 February 2004

• 128 MB of RAM

- For color scanning with the i50 Scanner, i60 Scanner, or i80 Scanner, 256 MB of RAM is recommended.

- For color scanning with the i200 Series Scanners, 512 MB of RAM is recommended.

- For color scanning with the i820 Scanner or i840 Scanner, 512 MB of RAM is recommended.

• SCSI controller

- An Adaptec 2940 controller is recommended. You can also use an Adaptec 1542CP controller. Newer SCSI cards such as the Adaptec 19160 or 29160 may also be used.

- For the i800 Series Scanners, an Adaptec 29160 SCSI controller or equivalent (Ultra-Wide2 SCSI) is required.

• IEEE-1394 (FireWire) controller For the i200 Series Scanners, a plug-and-play IEEE-1394 (FireWire)

interface is required. Use only the FireWire card and cable that is supplied with the i200 Series Scanner.

IMPORTANT: The i200 Series Scanner should be the only item plugged in to

the IEEE-1394 (FireWire) card on the host computer.

• Parallel/printer port (with DB25 female connector) for hardware key installation.

USB ports are not supported.

• Display monitor and graphic controller Most high-quality displays and graphic controllers are acceptable.

The display resolution should be set to at least 800 x 600.

- For black-and-white scanning, the display monitor should be set to at

least 256 Colors. For color scanning with the Kodak color scanners, set the display monitor to True Color (24 bit or 16 million colors).

- For color scanning with the i820 Scanner and i840 Scanner, an

AGP (Advanced Graphics Processor) video card with 32 MB of video RAM is recommended.

System development The Capture Software program was developed by Eastman Kodak Company

and I.R.I.S. Group, Belgium.

Using this manual This User’s Guide describes the functions and procedures in Capture

Software. Chapters 2 and 3 are directed toward individua ls wh o ar e responsible for scanning, manipulating images within a document, and writing to image batches. These individuals must have a working knowledge of IBM (or compatible) PCs and the Windows oper ating environment. In addition to computer and scanner operations skills, a basic understanding of digital imaging or image scanning is helpful.

Chapters 4 through 11 and Appendix A are intended for the system administrator who is responsible for configuring the scanner and Capture Software.

Differences between the Capture Software products specific to the low, mid-, and high volume scanners will be identified throughout the manual where appropriate.

NOTE: Many of the screen examples in this manual were captured using

Capture Software with a Scanner 3500. These examples, except where noted, also apply to Capture Software support for the Kodak scanners listed in this chapter.

Terminology Before you start, it is important to know how document, page, side, image,

and other terms are used in this guide. Application—you can create an unlimited number of applications with

Capture Software (the actual number of applications allowed depends on directory limits imposed by the operating system). Applications are distinguished by the batch and document separation methods used (e.g., patch codes, documen t/image counters, etc.), indexing requirements (e.g., bar code) and Batch Output format requirements. With an application, you can produce batches of an essentially unlimited number of documents (up to 999999999) which are used in conjunction with other digital document management systems and are available in several output formats (e.g., IMR Alchemy, MO:DCA, eiStream WMS RBE).

Batch—a collection of documents. An application can contain several batches (each up to 999999999 documents; essentially unlimited). Processing a batch means converting the batch to a specific output format (e.g., IMR Alchemy, single-page TIFF, MO:DCA, eiStream WMS RBE) and sending it to a batch destination folder/subdirectory. Batches can be processed one by one or together.

1-6 A-63054 February 2004

Document—a paper document is a collection of pages; an electronic document is a collection of images. A document containing many pages is called a multi-page document (e.g., a file folder or article). A document containing only one page is called a single-page document (e.g., a check). Initially , every document is in p aper form and becomes an electronic do cument after it is scanned; Capture Software gives every document a unique electronic document number . This document number is cross-referen ced with index dat a that can be uploaded to any document management system.

Document index—the document index links search fields (up to 10 search fields) with the document number of each document. The document index can be built manually or automatically with bar codes or default values.

Image—the scanner converts sides to images. Every image belongs to a document with a unique document number. Capture Software gives every image a sequential number inside its document. One document can contain up to 999999999 (i.e., essentially unlimited) images. Capture Software distinguishes between an image coming from the front or rear side of a page. This allows Capture Software to perform side-specific processing (e.g., deletion of blank/rear sides) where appropriate.

Capture Software also distinguishes between color, grayscale, and bitonal (black and white) images and can perform color/grayscale versus bitonal specific processing.

Example: Document 250 contains two double-sided pages and produces an electronic document number 250, which contains four images (1-4).

Page—a page is always in paper form and is part of a paper document. A page can produce one image (single-sided page), two images (double-sided page), or four images (dual-stream; color and bitonal) after scanning.

Side—one page has two sides, front and rear. With sin gle-sid e d pages, the rear is blank.

Creating a new batch To create a new batch, proceed as follows.

From the Open Application window:

1. Select an application where you want the new batch to reside.

2. Click New Batch.

The Create New Batch dialog box appears.

3. Enter a new batch name in the Batch name field.

By default, Capture Software suggests a new batch name based upon the last batch name created for the application (e.g., if the last batch name is Batch002, then the new batch name default will be Batch003).

4. Enter the starting document number.

By default, Capture Software suggests a starting document number based upon the Application Setup.

5. Click OK.

The main window appears with the batch name you assigned. Depending on your User Profile settings and the Application Setup,

other dialog boxes may appear before the main Capture Software window appears.

• For i200 Series Scanners, Scanner 1500, Scanner 2500, Scanner 3520DP, or Color Scanner 4500DP when document printing is enabled, and the i800 Series Scanners, the Set Counter dialog box appears.

2-4 A-63054 February 2004

Enter a starting counter number.

- For the i200 Series Scanners, the number will be downloaded and

printed on the first scanned page.

- For the Scanner 1500 or Scanner 2500, the number will be

downloaded to the scanner and will appear on the scanner’s LCD display.

- For the Scanner 3520DP or Color Scanner 4500DP, the number will

be downloaded and printed on the first scanned p age when document printing is enabled.

- For the i800 Series Scanners, the number is downloaded and

assigned (and optionally printed) to the first scanned page.

By default, with the exception of i200 Series Scanners, Capture Software suggests a starting counter based upon the Application Setup.

For i200 Series Scanners, Capture Software keeps track of the counter across scanned batches and will suggest a starting counter equal to the counter of the last scanned pa ge + 1. When Capture Software is restarted, the suggested starting counter is reset to “1.”

• For high volume and i800 Series Scanners, the Set Image Address dialog box appears.

Enter the starting image address for the batch. It will be downloaded to the attached high volume scanner and will appear in the scanner’s LCD display. Only those image address fields (i.e., Fixed field, Level 3, Level 2, and Level 1) that are applicable to the scanner mo de being used ca n be modified. By default, Capture Software suggests a starting image address based upon the Application Setup.

6. Start scanning into the new batch.

Starting and stopping the scanner in Capture Software

To start the scanner in Capture Software:

Stop Start

• Click on the green Start button (on the Scanner bar in the Capture Software main window) or press F7.

- For the i50/i60/i80 Scanners, you first need to place the documents to be

scanned face down in the feeder. The scanner automatically detects the presence of documents in the feeder and the scanner transport/feeder starts to run.

Y ou may also place a do cument on the flatbed. If no docu ments ar e in the feeder and flatbed scanning has been enabled, the scanner will scan the flatbed. When you scan single sheet documents with the flatbed, place the documents in the upper left corner of the flatbed (this position is labeled “0,0” on the flatbed).

- For the i200 Series Scanners, the scanner transport/feeder starts to run.

- For the Scanner 1500 and Scanner 2500, you first need to place the

documents to be scanned in the feeder. The scanner automatically detects the presence of documents in the feeder and the scanner transport/feeder starts to run.

For the Scanner 1500, you may also place a document on the flatbed. If no documents are in the feeder and flatbed scanning has been enabled, the scanner will scan the flatbed. When you scan single sheet documents with the flatbed, place the documents in the upper left corner of the flatbed.

NOTE:Page Setup is configured for auto-cropping and/or deskewing

documents, place the document in the middle of the flatbed platen and align the top edge with the top edge of the glass.

- For the Scanner 3500, Scanner 3510, Scanner 3520, Color Scanner

3590C, and Color Scanner 4500, the scanner transport/feeder starts to run.

- For the Scanner 5500, Scanner 7520, and Scanner 9520, the Start button

enables the scanner. You must press the green butt on on th e sca nn e r’s operator panel to start the scanner transport/feeder.

A-63054 February 2004 2-7

- For the i800 Series Scanners, the Auto-start transport option in the

Scanner Setup dialog determines what the Start button does. When Auto-St art transport is enabled, the scanner transport and feeder

will automatically run and start scanning. When Auto-Start transport is disabled, the Start button enables only the

scanner. You must press the green button on the sca nner control p anel to start the scanner transport/feeder.

It may take a few seconds to start the scanner the first time because Capture Software is downloading parameters. Successive starts are faster.

To stop the scanner in Capture Software:

• Click the red Stop button on the Scanner bar of the Capture Software main window or press F6.

NOTE: The i50 Scanner, i60 Scanner, or i80 Scanner will stop when all

Recovering from a paper jam

Under certain conditions, a paper jam can occur. Follow these steps to clear the scanner and restart Capture Software.

1. Clear any paper from the scanner by following the guidelines described in

the User’s Guide for the scanner you are using.

2. Make sure that the top and/or bottom of the scanner are completely closed,

if you had to open them to clear the jam.

3. Wait until the scanner is ready (e.g., on the Scanner 3500, the yellow light

is off and the green Ready light has stopped flashing).

NOTE: Check the screen to verify the last complete image you received from

the scanner before the paper jam. Restart scanning from that point.

4. Click the green Start button on the Scanner bar in the main window.

NOTE: For the i200 Series Scanners, the red indicator light remains on until

the scanner is restarted. If the jam was properly cleared, the re d indicator light will go out and the green indicator light will illuminate.

Calibration Calibration optimizes the optical system of your scanner in order to achieve the

best overall quality of scanned images. Frequent calibration is not needed or recommended. However , if you do need to calibrate the scanner (for exam ple, poor image quality), follow the steps below.

1. Clean the imaging guides properly (e.g., see the scanner’s User’s Guide

for procedures).

2. Obtain a proper calibration target.

Use a clean, blank sheet of paper with a matte surface (not glossy). Make sure that the target is wider than the document s to be scanned. It is best to use the square calibration target available from Kodak.

NOTE: For the i800 Series Scanners only: You must use the special

black-and-white calibration target provided with the scanner.

3. Select Scanner>Calibration in the Capture Software main window.

NOTES: For the i50, i60, and i80 Scanners and the Scanner 1500 and

Scanner 2500, scanner calibration is not necessary and therefore is not available through Capture Software.

For the Scanner 5500, Scanner 7520, and Scanner 9520, calibration is available only through the scanner operator panel and is required every time the scanner is powered up.

For the Color Scanner 3590C and Color Scanner 4500, select Scanner>Color Calibration for color image quality issues.

A prompt appears.

4. Place the calibration target in the scanner ADF.

5. Click OK.

Image Display options When editing index fields, several image display options are available. Image

display options are accessible from the Image Display Tool bar and an Image Display context-sensitive menu.

Image Display Tool bar

From left to right:

•The rotation buttons rota te the dis playe d ima g e 90

, 180o, or 270o clockwise. These buttons are useful to orient the image in the direction of the index data (e.g., bar code data) that needs to be enter ed/corrected.

IMPORTANT: When an image is rotated and the index field changes are

saved (i.e., not canceled), any rotation of the image is also saved.

•The Zoom image with magnifying glass tool is the same as the tool on the Capture Software main window.

•The Zoom image on rectangle tool allows you to draw a rectangle around a portion of the image that you want zoomed for display when editing index fields. This zoom setting is saved per index field. As a result, you can define a zoom zone for each index field and the image display auto matically zooms to the appropriate part of the image when that field is edited.

•The Scroll image tool is the same as the tool on the Capture So ftware main window. The results of scrolling are saved per index field.

•The Front and Rear radio buttons control which side of a duplex page is displayed when editing index fields. The front/rear setting is sa ved per inde x field. As a result, when tabbing between index fields, the image display can automatically switch from front to rear and back again.

3A-20 A-63054 February 2004

Image Display context-sensitive menu

These menu options function the same as they do on the Capture Software main window image context-sensitive menu. Any adjustments to imag e display by zooming in/out or fit image to window are saved per index field.

NOTES: All adjustments to image display from the tool bar or the context-

sensitive menu are automatically saved, per Capture Software application, when leaving the Batch/Document Index Fields dialog box. As a result, the next time fields are edited, the image display settings used previously remain in effect.

The Batch and Document Index Fields dialog boxes can be resized and moved to a different position on the screen. When leaving the dialog box, the size and on-screen positions are automatically saved. As a result, the next time index fields are edited, the location and size of the dialog box used previously remain in effect.

Index correction during scanning

When index fields are defined with the Check Field During Scanning option enabled, each index field value is audited against the input mask and minimum length requirements for the field. If an index field audit fails, scanning will be interrupted and you will be prompted to correct the index data before scanning can be resumed.

If the Stop Scanner on Error option is enabled for the application, the scanner must be manually restarted (green button on the Scanner bar) to resume scanning. Otherwise, scanning will automatically resume when the index field is corrected.

Additional menu options for high volume scanners

For high volume scanners, such as Scanner 5500, Scanner 7520, Scanner 9520, or the i800 Series Scanners, two additional menu options can be selected.

Set Mode—accesses the Set Mode dialog box which allows you to change the scanning mode on the high volume scanner. If the mode selected is a linked mode to the current mode (as defined by the scanner), then the image address will not change. However, if the mode selected is not linked to the current scanner, then the image address will change to the last address used for the mode.

NOTES: It is recommended that you always change the mode within Capture

Software, as opposed to changing the mode at the scanner keypad (i.e., using the F01 function). If you change the mode at the scanner keypad, you may not be able to restart the scanner in Capture Software due to a mismatch in the expected Image Address format between the scanner and Capture Software.,

Set Mode is not available for the i800 Series Scanners which only support one operative mode configurable in Application Setup.

Set Image Address—accesses the Set Image Address dialog box which allows you to change the image address that is displayed on the high volume scanner (and optionally printed). Only those image address fields (e.g., Fixed field, Level 2) that are applicable to the scanner mode being used can be modified. By default, Capture Software suggests an image address based upon the Application Setup that resynchronizes the current Capture Software document number with the scanner image address.

Additional settings for high volume scanners

For the Scanner 5500, Scanner 7520, and Scanner 9520, the Scanner Setup dialog box has the additional settings shown below.

True Simplex—allows you to operate a duplex Kodak high volume scanner more efficiently when scanning single-sided documents in simplex mode. By default, this setting is disabled. You should use it only when scanning small documents (e.g., postcard-size documents) in simplex mode.

Kodak high volume scanners have 18 scanning modes that can be set up for different scanning applications (imprinting, image address format, level rules, document separator, hardware bar code/patch code reading, etc.).

In Capture Software, you must define the image address format (i.e., lengths of the image address fields) for each mode to be used for scanning. The image address format as defined in Capture Software must be identical to the format as defined in the scanner.

3A-28 A-63054 February 2004

Mode Setup The default image address format for each mode in Capture Software matche s

the factory setting of the mode defined in the scanner. As a result, you should only need to make changes in Capture Software if mode changes were made in your scanner through the KODAK Scanner Mode Setup Software.

To make changes to your mode setting in Capture Software, do the following:

1. Select a Mode from the drop-down list of 18 mode numbers.

2. Enter an optional mode Name that will be displayed in Capture Software

whenever you are selecting a mode to be downloaded to the scanner.

3. Enter the Image address length for each of the image address fields.

The lengths of the image address fields must mat ch th e ima g e addr ess format as defined in the scanner. To assist you in determining what the lengths should be, click on the Read from scanner button. This will adjust, if necessary, the image address lengths to match the lengths as defined in the scanner.

NOTES: The total of all of the image address lengths must not exceed

12 characters. A length of “0” means that the image address field is not used or it is

not applicable for the selected mode. Read from scanner is operational only for the Scanner 5500 and

Scanner 7500/7520.

About Duplex modes The way a document is printed influences the orientation of the images

produced by the scanner. There are two different ways of printing duplex documents.

Classic duplex format is typically associated with multi-page reports. Reports, postcards, articles, etc. are all printed according to the classic duplex format.

Calendar duplex format is more unusual. It is used for presentation handouts, statistical and financial reports, project planning reports, etc.

The following illustrates typical duplex classic and calendar formats:

Classic duplex format Calendar duplex format

The Duplex buttons (on the Tool bar)

To use these buttons, look at your original and compare it with the picture on the duplex buttons. Click on the button that corresponds with your original.

The duplex mode only influences the way the front image will be rotated in relation with the rear image. It does not set the overall rotation of the document (0°, 90°, 180°, or 270°). Rotation can be set up in the Page Setup dialog box.

The first button handles classic duplex formats:

• A 0° rotated front corresponds with a 0° rotated rear.

• A 180° rotated front corresponds with a 180° rot ated rear.

• A 90° rotated front corresponds with a 270° rotated rear.

• A 270° rotated front corresponds with a 90° rotated rear.

The second button handles all calendar duplex formats:

• A 0° rotated front corresponds with a 180° rotated rear.

• A 180° rotated front corresponds with a 0° rotated rear.

• A 90° rotated front corresponds with a 90° rotated rear.

• A 270° rotated front corresponds with a 270° rot ated rear.

If you have images in the current document and you to gg le th e du ple x mo d e buttons, the message Do you want to apply the selected duplex mode to the already scanned images in the current document? appears.

If you select Yes, Capture Software will rotate the images in the current document according to the selected duplex mode.

A-63054 February 2004 3A-35

A-63054 February 2004 3A-43

4. When you have finished scanning, recall the images in the temporary

buffer by clicking on the Re-Append images tool or the Confirmation tool.

Rescan

To rescan images in a document:

1. Select the Rescan tool (or press R).

2. Click on the images to be rescanned. To select multiple images, use the

CTRL-click and SHIFT-click Windows techniques. If only the front or rear scanner is enabled, scanned images will replace all

selected images until no selected images are available. Subsequent scanned images will be appended to the document. When a front image replaces a rear image, the new scanned image will also be marked as a rear and vice versa.

When you use the scanner in duplex mode re-scan is done on a page-perpage basis. Capture Software analyzes each selected page and replaces fronts by fronts and rears by rears. When the selection does not include certain rears or fronts, Capture Software discards the corresponding scanned images. Once all selected images are replaced, subsequent scanned pages will be appended to the document.

Rescanning binarized color pages

When using the Rescan tool on color pages that have been binarized (i.e., converted to black and white for MultiStream™ processing), the following guidelines must be followed to ensure a successful rescan operation. These guidelines are important because when a scanne d color pa ge is binar ized, the page can contain up to four images (front bitonal, rear bitonal, front color, and rear color).

• If only color images need to be rescanned, select a page setup that has binarization disabled (e.g., the Color 150 DPI – Deskew – Keep All Images page setup that is provided with Capture Software).

• If only binarized images need to be rescanned, (e.g., to adjust the Contrast or Threshold), select a page setup where only the bitonal images are kept (e.g., the Color 150 DPI – Deskew – Binary Only for Rescan page setup that is provided with Capture Software).

• If both color and bitonal images need to be rescanned, highlight both a bitonal and a color image for rescan. Select a p age setup where binarization has been enabled (e.g., the Color 150 DPI – Deskew – Dual Stream page setup that is provided with Capture Software).

• When rescanning binarized color pages on the Color Scanner 3590C, highlight all three images of the page and select a page setup where binarization had been enabled (e.g., Color 150 DPI – Deskew – Dual Stream).

3A-44 A-63054 February 2004

Rescanning when using dual stream with an i800 Series Scanner

When scanning dual stream (both front and rear color a nd bitonal) with an i820 Scanner or i840 scanner , the following guid elines must be followed to ensure a successful rescan operation:

• After highlighting the images of the pa ge that you want rescanne d, go to the Scanner bar and use the Front/Rear butt on s to en a ble only thos e im ag es that are highlighted for rescan.

For example, if only the Front bitonal and Front color images need to be rescanned, then the Scanner bar would look like the example below when the scanner is restarted.

Similarly, if only the Front and Rear bitonal images need to be rescanned, then the Scanner bar would look like the example below when the scanner is restarted.

IMPORTANT: Not following these color rescanning guidelines may result

in additional images being appended to the end of the current document.

A-63054 February 2004 3A-45

With the Crop tool, you can crop an image to a drawn rectangle. Use this tool to keep only the significant part of an image (i.e., newspape r articles).

1. Select the Crop tool.

The mouse pointer now resembles scissors with an arrow.

2. Point to the upper left corner of the area you want to keep.

3. Click and drag the mouse diagonally over the area you want to keep.

4. Release the mouse button and a rectangle is displayed. If it is not

acceptable, you can redraw the rectangle (only one rectangle per image) by repeating the above actions.

5. Click on the Confirmation tool. The image(s) are cropped to the area

within the rectangle(s). You cannot undo this action. NOTES: If you want to crop the same area on all images on the screen,

use the appropriate option from the Image menu (r ight-clicking on the image accesses the context-sensitive Image menu).

When cropping color images, the default operation is a pixelprecise image crop. If continuously repeated on the same image, some loss of color image quality may occur. To avoid any image quality loss when cropping a color image, select Enable Fast Color Processing from the Image menu (right-clicking on the image accesses the context-sensitive Image menu). Fast image crop, however, is not as accurate as pixel-precise image crop. To re-establish pixel-precise cropping, select Enable Pixel Precision from the Image menu.

Move

Use the Move tool to move a page or a consecutive range of pages to another location.

• Select the Move tool, then click on one of the images of the page (front or rear) and drag and drop the page to its new location.

If you drop a page on top of another page, it is inserted before that page. It does not matter whether you drop the page on top of the front or rear image of the page, it will always be inserted before the first image of the page.

When you drop the rear image of a page on the front ima ge of the same page, front and rears are swapped. When you drop the front image of a page on top of the image following the same page, fronts and rears are also swapped.

To place a page after the last image on your screen, position the hand-pointer clearly after the last image (see below).

You can move a page to any location within a document (e.g., from position 1 to position 100). Capture Software renumber s all images after you move a page to a new location.

To change the Move tool so it will move individual images, as opposed to pages, select the Move tool and right-click on an image. Select Move image on the context-sensitive menu to change the move tool setting.

NOTE: When using the Move tool on pages with more than two images

(i.e., pages that have been split into four or six images or color pages that have been binarized [i.e., converted to black and white for MultiStream™ proce ssing]), using only Move image is recommended. Move page is designed to move corresponding pairs of images. Using Move page on split, bin arized, or dual stream pages may cause unpredictable results.

3A-50 A-63054 February 2004

Following are some ways to move a page from one location to another within a document.

1. Select one of the images of the page (front or rear) you want to move with

the Move tool and hold the left mouse button.

2. Drag the page beyond the upper or lower borders of the screen to move it

to its new destination. Capture Software paginates through the document automatically, as long

as you keep the tool beyond the outer borders.

3. Drop the page on top of the page in front of which you want to insert it.

1. Select the page you want to move with the Move tool.

2. Press the Home, End, Page Up, or Page Down key to navigate to the

location to move the page.

3. Drop the page on top of the page in front of which you want to insert it.

1. Select the page you want to move with the Move tool.

2. Press 0 on the numeric keypad followed by the number to which you want

to move the page (e.g., 0100 to navigate to image position 100). When you press 0, the text Goto image: 0 is displaye d in the bottom lef t corner of the screen. This text is updated as you type the image number.

3. Press Enter to move to the new location or press ESC to cancel the

Go to function.

4. Drop the page on top of the page in front of which you want to insert it.

Split

The Split tool allows you to split a document into two documents. If you do not separate documents with patch codes, bar codes, or after

X pages, you will start a new document by using the New Document button. If you forget to do this, the next document is appended to the current document. To correct this, cut off the part belonging to the next document with the Split tool to create a new document.

1. Select the Split tool and click on the first image in the new document.

That image and all subseq uent images ar e cut from the screen and moved to a new document. The new document is appended to the end of the current batch. Capture Software shows the new document with the cut images.

2. When you click on the rear of a page that also contains a front, the

message Splitting a document in the middle of a front and a rear of a page is not allowed appears.

A-63054 February 2004 3A-51

If you want to undo this action, select the Undo option from the Image menu and the cut images are returned in their original document (right-clicking on the image accesses the context-sensitive Image menu).

You can print a complete document or specific images within a document with the Print tool.

1. Click on the Print tool.

2. Click on the image you want to print.

A standard Windows Print dialog box is displayed. For example:
