Scanning a Batch

Follow the steps below to scan a batch.

1. Click the Batch Scanning button on the main toolbar in the Oracle Document Capture screen.

   The Batch Scanning screen is displayed.

2. In the top field, select a scan profile.

   The scan profile contains the scanning settings to be used.

3. If a prefix does not appear in the Batch Name field, enter a batch name.

   You can type up to sixteen letters and/or numbers. For more information, see "Assigning Batch Names".

4. Place the documents on the feeder tray of the scanner.

5. Click the Scan Preview button on the toolbar.

   As a test, Scan scans the top-most page and displays it. Check that the paper is loaded in the scanner the right way, so images are oriented the way you want them. If needed, reinsert the paper and repeat this step. Scan Preview does not create any batches.

6. Click the Begin Scanning button on the toolbar.

   Scan begins scanning the documents. As each page is scanned, it is briefly displayed in the viewer. You can examine pages more closely and make changes to them after the batch is scanned. If you scan using a duplex scanner (a scanner that scans the front and back side in a single pass), Scan displays both the front and back page images while scanning.

   To stop scanning, remove the remaining pages from the feeder tray of the scanner.

   
   

   Note: If you encounter problems while scanning, and the scanner will not scan, first check that the cables are properly connected. You may also need to clear any errors on the scanner itself.

   
   
   
   

   Note: Some Scan configurations include a Reset Scanner command in the Scanning menu. Selecting this command can resolve communications problems between the computer and the scanner.

   
   

7. Complete the batch.

   Scan continues scanning and adding to the batch until there are no more pages on the feeder tray.

   A message may display, asking if you want to continue scanning into the batch. To continue scanning into the same batch, add paper and click Yes. To finish the batch, click No.

   The image viewer disappears from the screen, and the batch is added to the Batch Name list in the Batch Scanning screen and selected.

8. Click the Review Batch button.

   
   

   Tip: You can also double-click a batch in the Batch Name list to review it.

   
   

   The Reviewing Batch screen is displayed.

9. If needed, make changes to the batch.

   Use options in the toolbar and in the Batch Scanning screen. See "Working with Scanned or Imported Batches" and "Reviewing and Editing a Scanned Batch".
