Scanning and uploading a batch
After you create and configure the scan and upload tasks, you can run them on your batches.
Procedure
To scan and upload a batch:
- Print the file ScanPage.pdf that is included in the Sample Documents download.
- In the Datacap Web Client, click the Operations tab and confirm that the two shortcuts that you created are present. If you do not see the shortcuts, click Logout and then log back on.
- Click the RScan shortcut. Datacap Web Client displays the remote scanning page (vscancl.aspx).
- Open a second web browser and open tmweb.net.
Then, click the Monitor tab and set the Refresh
rate to 10 sec. Arrange the web
browser windows so that you can see them both.
The Monitor tab indicates that Datacap created the batch folder and created a new entry in the job queue.
- In the remote scanning page, confirm that your scanner
is selected and that the page is in the scanner's feeder or on the
flatbed. Then, click Scan. Attention: If your scanner does not have a feeder, you might see information messages about unsupported features. Click OK to continue.
- When the scan completes and the page thumbnail is displayed, click Done. Then, click OK and Stop. In the Monitor tab, you can see the job as pending for the Upload task. (You might need to wait a moment.)
- On the Operations tab, click the Upload shortcut
and wait for the file to upload. When it completes, click OK. You can see the job as pending for the PageID task.
Attention: Rulerunner does not process the batch automatically because it is not configured to process web jobs. This processing is done later.
- Open the most recent batches folder.
(If you are using two machines, this folder is on the Datacap Server machine). You can see the image file and the two runtime batch files:
- scan.xml is the file that is generated by the RScan task
- upload.xml is the file that is generated by the Upload task
