Configure Bar Code, Patch Code, and Separator Page Definitions
You can use bar code definitions throughout the job. You can define patch codes for page separation. You can combine patch code detection with bar codes by creating separation page definition rules.
Here is how you configure definitions for bar codes and separator pages for a recognition processing job:
Configure a Separator Page Definition
Note:
To configure hierarchical separator page definitions, see Configure a Separator Page Definition.
To configure a separator page definition:
-
In your procedure, create a recognition processor job with a document organization method of Separator pages or None: Do not perform document organization.
-
On the Document Processing page, next to Separator Page, click Configure to define or edit the separator page by specifying one or more rules in the Separator Page Definition dialog that is displayed:
-
In the Name field, enter a name for the separator page definition. Optionally, select the Remove separator page field to remove the separator page from the document. If deselected (the default), separator pages are included in the document.
-
Click in the Rules table. To edit a rule, select it and click .
-
In the Separator Page Rule page, create a rule.
-
Enter a name in the Rule Name field.
-
To indicate the start of a new document, select a patch code (I, II, III, IV, VI, or T), a previously created bar code definition, or both.
-
If you specify both a patch code and a bar code or specify multiple bar code definitions, select Or or And in the Operator field to indicate if one or all must be detected on a page for the page to be identified as a separator.
Note:
In addition to specifying And or Or conditions within rules, you specify And or Or conditions between rules, by selecting And or Or in the Operator field in the Rules table.
-
If you want blank pages to be considered as separators, select the Treat Blank Page as a separator check box. This option is not available if you select the AND operator.
-
Click OK.
-
-
Repeat the previous step to create additional rules in the Rules table.
-
Click Submit to save the separator page definition and return to Separator Page Definition.
To remove a separator page rule, select it in the Rules table and click .
Note:
To delete a separator page definition, click Delete next to Configure.
-
-
To set the page bytes so the page is considered blank, enter a value in the Blank Page Byte Threshold field. For example, if you enter 16000 in this field, then the pages of 16000 bytes or lesser are considered blank pages.
- If you want blank pages to be removed at the time documents are
processed in the Content Capture Client environment, select the Remove Blank
Pages check box.
Note:
The Blank Page Byte Threshold field and the Remove Blank Pages check box are interdependent. So if you set the blank page byte threshold but do not set blank pages for removal, the pages of the defined bytes won't be removed. Similarly, if you select the Remove Blank Pages check box but do not set the blank page byte threshold, no pages will be removed. -

Add or Edit Bar Code Definitions
A bar code definition identifies a bar code by its validation rule, such as its length in characters. As bar codes are recognized, they are assigned to a bar code definition based on the definition's validation rule which considers the data characteristics of the bar code value. Once defined, you can use a bar code definition throughout a recognition job, including for page separation, auto populating metadata fields, and assigning document profiles. (Bar code definitions are not shared between recognition processor jobs.)
Configure Hierarchical Separator Page Definitions
As described in Settings for Separating Documents, if you choose to organize documents using hierarchical separators, you must configure separator page definitions for each hierarchy level that detect patch codes and/or bar codes. (To configure document separation for single level separator jobs or no organization jobs, see Configure a Separator Page Definition.)
To configure page separation for hierarchical separator jobs:
-
In your procedure, add or edit a hierarchical separator page job. See Configure a Job for Documents with Hierarchical Separators.
-
On the Document Processing page, click in the Document Hierarchy Separator Pages table to add a hierarchical separator page definition. To edit a definition, select it and click .
-
In the Separator Page Definition dialog, create a definition for one of the hierarchy levels.
-
In the Name field, enter a name for the separator page definition.
-
Optionally, select the Remove separator page field to remove the separator page from the document or attachment. If deselected (the default), separator pages are included in the document or attachment.
-
-
In the Attachment Type field, select an attachment type from the list of defined attachment types to define a separator page to be included to an attachment. The Document Profile field is available only when you select Determine dynamically using separator page option in the Dynamic Document Profile Option field on the Document Profile page. The Attachment Type field is set to None and is disabled if you select a document profile in the Document Profile field. You can define an attachment type separator page only at the last hierarchy level.
-
Add or edit rules for the separator page definition.
-
Click in the Rules table.
-
To edit a rule, select it and click .
-
-
In the Separator Page Rule dialog, define a rule.
-
Enter a name in the Rule Name field.
-
To indicate the start of a new document or attachment, select a patch code (I, II, III, IV, VI, or T), a previously created bar code definition, or both.
-
If you specify both a patch code and a bar code or specify multiple bar code definitions, select Or or And in the Operator field to indicate if one or all must be detected on a page for the page to be identified as a separator.
-
Click OK.
-
-
Repeat steps 5 and 6 to create additional rules for the page separator.
-
In addition to specifying And or Or conditions within rules, you specify And or Or conditions between rules by selecting And or Or in the Operator field in the Rules table. For example, you might require both Rule 1 AND Rule 2 to match for separator detection, although each rule may provide two methods for matching (patch code OR bar code).
-
To remove a separator rule, select it in the Rules table and click .
-
Click Submit to save the separator page definition.
The separator page definition you created is listed in the Document Hierarchy Separator Pages table.
-
-
Repeat steps 2 through 7 to create additional page separator definitions.
-
To remove a definition, select it in the table and click .
-
Click Up or Down to move a selected definition in the hierarchy to correctly reflect how the separator pages will be organized within a batch.
