To set up an imprinter text formula:
1. Select a pre-defined value from the list box.
2. Click Add Item.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until your formula is complete.
NOTES: Select Delete Item to delete the last pre-defined value that was
added. Delete Formula deletes the entire imprinter text formula.
You can also use a special substring syntax, enclosed within square
brackets, to retain a certain portion of a default value (e.g., [1,4]).
See the section entitled “Substring syntax” under Index setup tab
later in this chapter for formulas and examples.
You can also combine pre-defined values with a manually entered
string value to build a formula. (See the example in the previous
dialog box.)
In general, the imprinted text will be the same for every page scanned after
starting the scanner. However, when you use the following pre-defined values,
the scanner changes what prints on each page without the operator having to
stop and start the scanner.
NOTE: Substrings are not allowed when you use these incremented pre-
defined values.
Scanner date—sets the scanner date to the scanning PC’s system date. If the
date changes during scanning (i.e., scanning at midnight), the imprinted date
will also change. The scanner date can be imprinted in the following formats:
31 Aug., 1999
08/31/99
99/08/31
1999/08/31
Scanner time—sets the scanner time to the scanning PC’s system time. As
the time changes during scanning, the imprinted time also changes. The
scanner time can be imprinted in the following formats:
15:30
15:30:47
Scanner counter—when this option is selected, the counter on the scanner’s
LCD display will be imprinted. As the counter value increases by one for each
scanned page, the imprinted counter value also increases.
The displayed counter value represents the next scanned page. Therefore, the
value appearing on the scanner’s LCD display will be the value imprinted on
the next scanned page.
The counter value is always imprinted right-justified in a span of seven
characters (left-filled with spaces or blanks). When you select Scanner
counter (0..), the imprinted value will be zero-filled instead of filled with
spaces or blanks.
