Creating a batch by using a scanner

You can run the FastDoc TWAIN Scan option to create a batch of documents from the image files that you scanned.

The instructions for using a scanner to download documents into FastDoc are different from using pre-scanned images.

To create a batch by using a scanner:

  1. Prepare your paper documents for scanning.
  2. Ensure that your scanner is started.
  3. Start FastDoc in Local mode.
  4. Click the Batch Profile that you want to run.
    The FastDoc main window displays the Scan pane.
  5. Click View and select TWAIN Scan.
    The pane for the selected diver is displayed.
  6. Click Source to display a list of available scanners.
    If your scanner does not appear, the driver of the scanner was not installed properly.
    1. Close FastDoc and follow the instructions of the scanner manufacturer to install or reinstall the driver of the scanner.
    2. Restart FastDoc.
    3. Return to Source and select the driver.
  7. Click Options for TWAIN Scan and select the appropriate settings.
    1. Click Duplex to scan both sides of each page.
    2. Click Landscape when your scanner is feeding paper in landscape orientation.
    3. Select the appropriate image format options for the Mode that you selected.
    Attention:
    For Kodak scanners, if the two-sided option is selected on the Kodak scanner, your images are scanned in duplex mode regardless of the Duplex setting on FastDoc. If the one sided scan option is selected on the scanner, you can set duplex mode. Click Duplex on FastDoc or do nothing and scan the images in one sided mode.
  8. Click OK.
  9. Ensure that the Resolution setting is set to the scanning resolution (200 dpi or 78 DPCM).
    The current setting is displayed beneath the dial. Click above the dial, and move your cursor horizontally over the dial to change the setting.
  10. Change the settings for brightness and contrast you do not want the default settings. Click above the dial, and move your cursor horizontally over the top of the dial to change the setting.
  11. Load your pages into the scanner and click Scan. Messages display as scanning begins. The scanned image of the first page is displayed in the Active Image pane. Thumbnails of each of the scanned pages appear in the Image Stream pane.
    You can use the Control Bar to display a specific page or document to delete one or more images, and sequence pages.
  12. To put the batch on hold, click next to Submit and select Hold.
  13. To cancel the batch, click next to Submit and select Cancel.
  14. Click Submit to run recognition processing.
  15. Click to validate this document and go to the next document and make any needed corrections.
    After the Validation task is completed, Rulerunner runs the Export ruleset that you configured for this Batch Profile.
