Terminology Before you begin a basic understanding of some of the terminology used in
Kodak Capture Pro Software is helpful.
Kodak Capture Pro Software is “job” based. A job is a configuration that is
setup to capture and process a set of documents that you want to scan.
To scan documents in a job, you need to create a batch to hold the scanned
documents, images and data before you o utput them.
Kodak Capture Pro Software organizes scanned documents in the following
hierarchy:
• Batch: contains one or more scanned documents (similar to a folder or
hanging file containing several sepa rate documents).
• Document: contains one or more page(s) related to a single item (e.g., the
contents of an envelope).
• Page: are physical sheets of paper that are fed through the scanne r to
produce images.
• Image: electronic representations of scanned pages.
Output is the process of sending the batch to the desired output system /
location in the format that you chose.
NOTE: See Appendix A, Glossary for a full listing Kodak Capture Pro Software
terminology.

Creating a new batch When you want to scan documents, you need to create a new batch or ope n
an existing batch to scan the documents into. In most cases your system
administrator has already configured the jobs you will use. These jobs will be

be displayed.
1. Select New. The New Batch dialog box will be displayed.
2. Select a job setup from the Job name drop-down list. Your new batch will
be captured and output as defined in this job setup.
3. If applicable, enter a new batch name in the Batch name field. By default,
Kodak Capture Pro Software suggests a new batch name based upon the
last batch name created for the job setup. For example, if the last batch
name is Health030, then the new batch name default will be Health031.
You will not be able to enter a value is Enable Job Level batch
numbering is unchecked on Workstation Setup dialog box.
4. If applicable, enter the starting do cument ID. The starting document ID is
the ID you want to assign to the first document in a batch. In most cases,
that ID is 1. By default, the software suggests a starting document number
based upon the job setup.
5. Click OK. The Image Viewer will be displayed on the Main window with the
batch name you assigned. The Image Viewer, Batch Explorer, and
Thumbnail Viewer will remain blank until you start scanning.
