Batches Panel

The Batches panel to the left of the image viewing area lists the batch names, job names, documents, scanned pages, and status associated with the batches you are processing. The information on the Batches panel is dynamically updated each time you scan.

When you select a batch on the Batches panel, or create, delete, or paste documents and images, the contents of the batch are displayed automatically in the image viewing area.

The following table describes the information on the Batches panel.
