ABBYY Recognition Server 3.0 System Administrator’s Guide
• You should not specify a folder on the network drive as the Input folder, Output folder or Exceptions folder.
Use complete real paths for such folders.
Configuring Document Separation
ABBYY Recognition Server 3.0 allows you to separate batches of images scanned by a highspeed scanner into
documents. Each document will be saved to a separate output file. You can set the separation options in the Document
Separation Options dialog box.
By default document separation is not used. That is one output file is created for each input image file. To separate
batches of images into documents, do the following:
1. Create a new workflow or modify an existing one (see Creating a New Workflow). On the Process tab of
the Workflow Properties dialog box click Document Separation Options button.
Note: Document separation cannot be performed for the jobs which were received by email (either from
Exchange Mailbox, or POP3 email server).
2. In the Document Separation Options dialog box that opens select Enable separation option.
3. Select one of the document separation methods:
o Create a new file after every N page(s)
Use this option if all the documents in the batch have the same number of pages.
o Use blank pages to separate documents
A new file will be created at each blank page found in the document flow. To delete blank pages after
separation, select Delete blank pages option.
o Use barcodes to separate documents
A new file will be created at each page with a barcode of the specified type. Select barcode type and
specify whether barcode pages should be deleted after separation.
Note: There is a sample of a separation sheet with a barcode in the file SeparatorSheetCode39.pdf of
the Samples folder (Start>Programs>ABBYY Recognition Server 3.0>Samples), which contains
barcode of Code39 type with barcode value 012345.
o Merge files in each subfolder into one file
The files in each subfolder will be merged into one document.
4. In addition to builtin document separation methods you can implement your own more flexible separation
scenario with the help of a script. To do this click Script... button, and in the Script Editor dialog box enter the
script text. See for details Creating a Script for Document Separation in the Main Help.
5. If necessary specify page arrangement method in Arrange pages in the output file by (Job creation time or
Input file name) and a time period in Complete the document if no new pages arrive for N seconds.
Note: Specify a small timeout (several seconds) if all the files are already in the Input folder when the
workflow is started. If the documents are placed to the Input folder directly from the scanner, the timeout
must be greater than the pause between scanned pages.
Configuring Email Processing
ABBYY Recognition Server 3.0 provides the following emailbased functionality:
• Import of attachments from email messages (Get images from: Exchange mailbox or Get images from:
POP3 Email Server option on the Input tab of the Workflow Properties dialog box)
• Sending output documents by email (Send output file via Exchange Server or Send output file via
SMTP Server option in the Output Format Setting dialog box of the workflow properties)
• Sending notifications to the administrator (Notify the administrator if a failure occurs and Notify the
administrator when all jobs have been processed options in the Recognition Server Properties
dialog box). Recognition Server supports sending notifications to the administrator only via Microsoft
Exchange email server.
Note: If using emailbased functionality provided via Microsoft Exchange Server, Microsoft Outlook 2000 or later must
be installed on the computer where the Server Manager is installed.
