Divide documents into batches
There are two ways to divide stacks of paper documents into batches. Either way works well. You can:
- Count the number of pages in the documents for a batch and put them into the scanner’s document feeder one batch at a time. When you do this, you will notice if Kofax ReadSoft Entrance counts a different number of pages than you have. This is a good control. Do not include blank separator pages when you count the number of pages.
- Put as many documents as you like into the scanner’s document feeder. Kofax ReadSoft Entrance counts the pages and stops scanning when the batch is complete.
Note When you scan
multi-page invoices, scanning will not stop
in the middle of
a
document. If the number of pages you specify would have the batch end
before all the pages of
a
document are scanned, Scan instead continues until all of the
document
pages are scanned. In other words, Scan ends the batch at the end of the
document
that is being scanned when BatchSize is reached.
Batch size recommendation
The size of a batch depends on the type and quantity of documents along with the production process used. However, ReadSoft recommends that the total size of any one batch never exceeds 200 pages or 50 documents. This is because larger batches are more difficult to control. Smaller batches are the most manageable. In addition, when you are processing documents, re-separation works better with smaller batches.
