Document Imaging Barcode Scanning
Goals • To demonstrate how using barcodes can improve the efficiencies of the scanning process. • To cover installation and configuration of barcode scanning • To discuss different aspects of barcode scanning. • As well as demonstrate a new piece of software for enabling director to read barcodes without using Kofax drivers.
Advantages of using barcodes • Accuracy • Scanning with using barcodes can have a very positive impact on your scanning and indexing accuracy. • Efficiency • Time saved by no longer having to do document separation. • Knowledge at the scanning level • By implementing Barcode scanning you take the thinking out of the scanning process.
What about the barcode • Where does the barcode come from? • Wasp or loan origination • Different types • Document type identification • Document type identification and keyword information • How is the barcode used and when? • The when can vary depending on location and current processes. • Barcode will always be at the start or on the first page of a document type.
Required Software to read barcodes • Kofax scanning software • Must be purchased • Must be installed on each scanning station • Pegasus software • Simple install shield ran on each station doing the barcode recognition • Machine must be registered for Production Document Imaging • Separate queue for the recognition piece
Setting up Director for barcode processing • Install barcode enabled software on the scanning station • Either Kofax software or Pegasus • Document type barcodes only • Barcode process setup in Director Configuration • Barcode process assigned on the Scan queue • Document type and keyword barcodes • Vbscript build and loaded into Director Configuration • Barcode process setup in Director Configuration • Barcode process assigned on the Scan queue
Document type barcodes only • What steps need to be configured? • A barcode process needs to be configured in director configuration • Let Director know what to expect when it finds a barcode and how to handle it • Documents must be mapped to values in order to properly identify documents as they come in. • The scan queue that is going to handle the barcode documents must be set to look for barcodes. • Please follow along as we walk through setting up a barcode process
Document type and Keyword barcodes • What steps need to be configured? • A barcode process needs to be configured in director configuration • Let Director know what to expect when it finds a barcode and how to handle it • Documents must be mapped to values in order to properly identify documents as they come in. • At this step a Vbscript will be referenced that will break the barcode into different sections. • The scan queue that is going to handle the barcode documents must be set to look for barcodes.
Document type and Keyword barcodes (continued) • What is the Vbscript actually doing and how does it work?
Document type and Keyword barcodes (continued) • Similarities? • Apart from referencing a script to break apart the information within the barcode the setup is very similar. • Advantages? • Because we are able to extract the Primary keyword from the barcode it enables us to utilize our autofill keyword set and have a fully indexed document. • Please follow along in the handout as I walk through the steps to setup the barcode process for a multi field barcode.
What have we gained? • Efficiency – by adding barcodes to the scanning process it increases the efficiency of scanning multiple times. • Accuracy – Documents will no longer be indexed under the wrong document types and there will be no question as to what type of document is being scanned.
Lab • Please take the next 30 minutes or so to work through the Barcode scanning handout. • The steps you will be completing will be • Installing the Pegasus software • Setting up from scratch a barcode process to read Wasp barcodes on the given documents • Setting up a Vbscript in director client • Setting up a barcode process to scan in laserpro barcode documents • If you have questions please do ask!
