Job Setup Tab

A job is a saved configuration that consists of bar code and index definitions as well as settings related to document separation, export, and more. Within a job, you create batches that consist of scanned documents and images.

Control	Name	Description
Destination group
	Job	Displays a list of existing jobs.
	New Job	Opens the New Job window, where you create a new job.
	Rename	Opens the Rename Job window, where you rename the selected job. You cannot rename a job that contains batches.

	Next Batch Name	Sets the base name for the next batch to be created.
Profile group
	Associated scan profile	Lists the scan profile associated with the current job. If you associate a scan profile with a job, the profile is selected by default each time you open the job. This entry is optional.
Raw group
Use the Raw group to set the color mode for the original electronic image created at scan time and stored temporarily on the computer until a batch is exported. Raw images are required to apply image quality adjustments.
	Off	Turns off raw images, which limits your ability to apply corrections or switch colors after scanning.
	Grayscale	Saves raw images and sets them to grayscale. With grayscale raw images, you can switch an image after scanning to black and white or grayscale, but not color.
	Color	Saves raw images and sets them to color. With color raw images, you can switch to any color mode after scanning.
Separation group
	Document Separation	Click the top of the control to turn on document separation. Click the bottom of the control to set a document separation method.
	Using Blank Sheets	Creates a new document each time a blank sheet is scanned. Point to Blank Sheets Settings to adjust the level of speckling that is acceptable on blank sheet separators.
	Every N Sheets	Creates a new document each time a certain number of sheets are scanned. Use the Count box to set the number of sheets.
	Using Patch Codes	Creates a new document each time a certain patch code is detected. Point to Patch Codes Settings to set the patch code type to be detected. Click Delete Patch Code Separator to automatically remove the patch code separator sheet after the batch is processed.
	Using Bar Codes	Creates a new document each time a certain bar code is detected. Select When value changes to create a new document only if the bar code value differs from the previous value of the bar code used as a document separator. Point to Bar Code Type to view and select bar code types to use as document separators.
Export group
	Connector	Sets the export connector for the job. Click the setup tool to open the window where you configure export preferences for the selected connector (with most connectors, you cannot export batches until the preferences are configured). For some export connectors, you need to provide login credentials to open the setup window. Export connectors appear on the Connector list if they have been registered.
	PDF Options	Sets the export connector to export images in PDF or PDF/A format. Select None if images should not be exported in PDF format. If PDF settings are included on the setup window for the selected export connector, this window is not available. Click the setup tool to open the PDF Setup window, where you configure processing preferences for Kofax connectors that are set to export images in PDF format.
	Delete first page	Automatically deletes the first page of each document during the export process. The front and back images for the first page are deleted. This setting is available for most export connectors that are installed with Kofax Express. To achieve the same result for other export connectors, select the "Skip first page of each document" setting on the export connector setup window.
	Delete batch after export	Removes the batch contents from your installation after the batch is exported. Otherwise, you can access the batch contents after it is exported.
	Create new batch after export	Automatically creates a new, empty batch once the batch export process is finished. If "Background export" is also selected, the new batch is created after the final batch is exported in the background.
	Background export	Gives you the ability to scan or perform another Kofax Express operation while a batch export operation is in progress.
