Advanced Properties - Endorser

Kofax VRS supports basic endorsing and annotation. For production-class scanners equipped with endorsers, you can set up endorsing properties on the Advanced Properties Endorser panel. You can build a text string from a text prefix and numeric counter value, and then use the string to endorse and/or annotate pages and images. Once added to the page or image, endorser and annotation strings are permanent.

The Endorser panel consists of two groups: the Options group and the Annotation Options group. In the Options group, you can select from the following:

• Endorsing Off, Annotation Off (default setting)

• Endorsing On, Annotation Off (mechanical endorsing only)

• Endorsing On, Annotation On (mechanical endorsing with electronic annotation)

When No Endorser and No Annotation is selected, no string is created on either the scanned page or on the resulting image. Selecting Enable Mechanical Endorser Only means that the endorsing string is physically printed on the scanned page but not placed on the image. By selecting Enable Mechanical Endorser and Electronic Annotation, you are choosing to apply the endorsing string both to the scanned document and to the resulting image.

When the Enable Mechanical Endorser and Electronic Annotation option is selected, the options in the Annotation Options group become available. You can perform annotation on the document front, document back, and on both sides of a document, but the default setting is to annotate the front side only.

Click Text Definition to display the Text Definition window, which is used to set and/or modify the contents of the endorser string. The Text Definition button is unavailable unless endorsing or annotation is selected.
