If you try to close a new document (by creating a new document) with fewer than the minimum number of pages, Capture Software will give a warning.
Page 204 IBS/Document CD This structure is optimized for CD authoring or for an application with many single-page documents. All documents for a batch are stored in the same batch directory under the root path. The images are stored in a subdirectory structure under the batch directory based on the Capture Software document number.
Page 205 The xxxxxIDX.DAT file contains the document index fields. The IDX.DAT contains the following information: [Record Format Type];[Format Version];[Document Number]; [Page Count];[Image Count];[Field 1];[Field 2];[Field 3];... The following is a sample IDX.DAT record: “I01q”;”01”;”0000000001”;”0000000058”;”0000000087”;”37865”;”C0009341” All values are double-quoted and are separated by a semi-colon. A double- quote contained within an index field is doubled.
Page 206 App\Batch\Document\Image Structure This is the most simple and straightforward structure. All documents are located in a directory equal to the Batch name and all image files are located in a directory equal to the Document number. This structure does not have the 999-page limitation that is inherent to the IBS/ Document CD structure.
Page 207 The following is a sample IDX.DAT record: “I01q”;”01”;”0000000001”;”0000000058”;”0000000087”;“37865”;”C0009341” All values are double-quoted and are separated by a semi-colon. A double- quote contained within an index field is doubled. Example: ...;“378”“65”;... represents the value 378”65. The following is a description of each field in the sample IDX.DAT file: Record Format Type I01q Fixed length of 4 characters.
Page 208: Index Setup Tab
Index setup tab The Index tab allows you to define index fields at two different levels: batch and document. Page level values are not yet supported.

Page 227 The Document CD Batch Output format does not copy image files but instead just adds to the Native Scan structure those additional files and subdirectories that are required to author a Document CD. A Document CD is a Kodak standard directory structure containing single-page TIFF image files and document index data, along with an on-board image retrieval and display application.
Page 228 NOTES: HVCS 16-bit and KoVIS/IBS/PCPlus include both CDVue and the Kodak Optistar CD Image Retrieval Applications on Document CDs. Capture Software includes just the CDVue application. The CDVue application currently does not support color image display. The Document CD batch output format cannot be used in conjunction...
Page 229 By default, the index file created for CDVue (INDEX.DAT located in DOC_CD\DATABASE) contains the date that the Document CD batch was processed for each scanned document. To change this default behavior, specify a Scan Date Index. The Scan Date Index must be a document level index field in the format of YYYYMMDD.
Page 230 Authoring a Document CD Once you have finished scanning documents into a batch, process the batch to finalize the Document CD structure. For example, if the Scan Cache for the application is C:\SCAN, the Capture Software application name is “Acme CD,” and the Capture Software batch name is BATCH001, the directory structure will be the following: To create a CD, transfer the contents of the Capture Software batch name...

When used with a Kodak color scanner, this batch output format creates multi- page TIFF files that can contain both JPG and G4 bitonal images. The free Imaging for Windows viewer that is pre-installed in Windows can be used to view these files.
Page 238 When producing a document index file, the format of the index file can optionally be produced in HVCS 16-bit (Version 2.x) format. This option can facilitate the upgrade from HVCS 16-bit to Capture Software 32-bit by keeping the batch output produced for the target imaging system unchanged. The document index file is a semi-colon (;) delimited file that contains one record or line for each document in the batch.
Page 239 Multi-page MO:DCA The Multi-page MO:DCA Batch Output format transfers the entire batch to a single batch subdirectory. The subdirectory name is the batch name and is located under the root path specified in the Output tab. All images of each document in the batch are written to a single multi-page MO:DCA (Mixed Object Document Content Architecture) file to be used in an IBM ImagePlus imaging system.

Release keeps the batch as is in its Native Scan structure and location and does not perform any conversion on the image files or the document index files. Release will finalize the batch index file and copy it to the specified path.
Page 244 When producing a document index file, an image index file can optionally be produced. By default, it is named IMAGES.DAT and is located in the same subdirectory as the images. The image index file contains one entry for each image in the batch. Since Capture Software does not yet support page- or image-level indexing, this option may only be useful for High Volume Capture Software (HVCS) users.

Page 328 Following is a description of each option and how to use it for Split options all Kodak scanners. Merge—combines the front and rear image into one image (for instance front and rear of a check becomes one image). The merge only takes place for images complying with the minimum and maximum width or minimum and maximum height expressed in 1/100-inch.
Page 329 If you use the Split option, the documents must be folded according to the following folding schemes: When splitting images, Capture Software always assumes the first image (image 1 in the diagram above) is on the front after scanning. If, during scanning, the first image is on the rear side, be sure to enable the Swap Front and Rear option just above the Merge and Split tabs.
Page 330 Additional Split option for For the Scanner 2500, you can specify an additional split option. the Scanner 2500 This capability, called Continuous Forms Splitting, is suitable for the scanning of long paper on continuous perforated forms. The long document is scanned and then divided into images of the side specified in the Split tab.
Page 331 NOTES: The maximum scannable length of long paper or a continuous form is different based on the amount of additional optional memory installed in the scanner, the image resolution, and the document width as defined in the Mask tab of Image Setup.
