Use Command Line Parameters to Start Kofax Express

You have the ability to start Kofax Express using command line parameters that specify the name of the job and batch to open.

Typically, you open a command line window and specify the parameters from the following location:

C:\Program Files\Kofax\Kofax Express\bin

The job you specify must already exist in Kofax Express. See Creating a Job.

Sample syntax:

KofaxExpress.exe /Job="<job name>" /Batch="<batch name>"

If you specify a job that does not exist, the last job opened in Kofax Express is substituted. In this situation, the batch parameter is ignored.

If you specify a batch name that does not yet exist, it is created automatically. By default, batch names include a numeric suffix. However, you do have the option of specifying a batch name without numeric characters.

The batch name you specify must not include the following invalid characters: / \ : * ? " < > |

The parameters in the next sample syntax illustrate how to launch Kofax Express and open the following job and batch:

• Job name: "MyScanJob"
• Batch name: "MyBatch123"

KofaxExpress.exe /Job="MyScanJob" /Batch="MyBatch123"
