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.
Scanner operators that need to use the SMA Scan Master 0 to scan oversize items and/or bound multi-page items must set up ta 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:
Using the index string editor
...
The default Image path will be a combination of two variables and a text string: %s(finalize_path)\%s(job_name). This is a combination of the Finalize path defined in the Directories tab and the Job Name defined in the Job tab:
| Variable/String | Description | 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. | C:\Scan2Net\images |
| \ | Text string that indicates a subdirectory. Creating a subdirectory prevents accidentally overwriting existing images during the Finalize process. | C:\Scan2Net\images\ |
| %s(job_name) | Variable that uses the Job Name defined in the Job tab. | C:\Scan2Net\images\PC1_46 |
Image file name
The default Image file name will be a combination of two variables: %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:
| 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 |
