Scanner operators that use the SMA Scan Master 0 to scan oversize items and/or bound multi-page items must set up a scan job before operating the scanner. Some projects can be completed with one scan job (e.g., scan a yearbook or University calendar) while other projects require multiple scan jobs (e.g., scan a box of archival file folders).Considerations when setting up scan jobs:. See Section B.2.2 of the Batch Scan Wizard manual for more information on creating scan jobs. See the Project Manager or Digitization Coordinator for guidance on creating scan jobs.

Using the index string editor
...
The Create Job window uses an index string editor editor to define file paths and file naming conventions. The editor uses a combination of job index variables and text strings that define file paths and file naming conventions. In some cases, scanner operators may need to use Adobe Bridge and other utilities to adjust the file names and directory paths so they conform to the Libraries' guiding principles for file naming and file organization.
To change the Image path:
...
The default Image file name will be a combination of two variables: %stwo variables and a text string: %s(job_name)-%04d(page_number) and a text string. This is a combination of the Finalize path defined in the Directories tab and the Job Name defined in the Job tab: and a four digit sequential counter.
| Variable/String | Definition | Example |
|---|---|---|
| %s(finalize_path) | Variable for the main directory in which images will be stored after the job is finalized. The default Finalize path is C:\Scan2Net\images. The actual location can be changed in the Directories tab. | |
| - | The hyphen indicates a separator in the file name. Hyphens are normally only permitted in the Collection ID. In all other cases, the hyphen should be replaced with an underscore. | |
| %d | ||
| %04d(page_number) | Variable that includes a numerical output and leading zeros |
