Sample Pages

For some types of processing, you must have sample image files for your form. For example, you need sample image files for:

  • Defining index zones

  • Defining OCR registration zones

  • Defining separation zones

  • Setting up form identification

  • Setting up page-level bar code recognition

The sample image should be a form or document of the type defined by the form type. For example, if order forms from ABC Company are to be processed, you should scan or import an order form from the ABC Company.

Notes

  • Use clean, good quality images for your sample pages.

  • Use forms that are representative of the ones you’ll be processing in your batches.

  • For best results, use the same make/model of scanner and the same settings for scanning sample pages as you intend to use for scanning batches. This is particularly true if you intend to use page recognition as your method of document separation and form identification.

  • You must use the same resolution (dpi) for scanning sample pages as you intend to use when scanning batches. If your documents are scanned at different dpis (for example, some at 200 dpi and others at 300 dpi), you can create a separate form type for each dpi. Then, add the same sample pages scanned at the appropriate dpi for each form type.

  • Kofax Capture automatically attempts to set the scanner to deskew your sample pages. Therefore, you must use a device capable of deskewing images as you scan sample pages.

  • When using unattended scanning, a batch is created for each page scanned if single document processing is selected in the Batch Class Properties - Advanced tab, and if the batch class contains multiple document classes with sample pages.
