Processing with the Batch Manager
You can schedule processing jobs to be performed automatically at a
specified time in the future. The job pages can come from a scanner with an
ADF or from image files. You do not have to be present at your computer at
job start time, nor does OmniPage Pro have to be running. It does not
matter if your computer is turned off after the job is set up, so long as it is
running at job start time. If you are scanning pages, your scanner must be
functioning at job start time, with the pages loaded in the ADF. Here is how
to set up your first job:
1. Click Batch Manager... in the Process menu or in the Windows Start
menu: select All Programs!ScanSoft OmniPage Pro
14.0!OmniPage Batch Manager. The Batch Manager window
appears. Because there are no existing jobs, the Workflow Assistant
appears immediately.
2. Define a starting point for the new job. This can be a fresh start, an
existing workflow or (later on) an existing job. Click Next to finish
each step.
3. The following panels allow you to build the workflow for the job, as
described in Chapter 6.
4. The final panel lets you name the job and specify timing instructions.
In OmniPage Pro 14 Office you can request e-mail notification of
job completion, create recurring jobs and specify a stopping time for
watched folder jobs.
5.
Click Finish to confirm job creation.
For more information, please see Batch Manager in the online Help and
“Batch Manager” on page 101.
The Batch Manager window lists all jobs, with status Not Scheduled, Waiting,
Running, Watching, Paused or Completed. Use Modify... in the Edit menu to
change settings for jobs with status Not Scheduled or Completed. You can view,
modify and reuse completed jobs to process new jobs needing similar settings. You
can delete completed jobs when they are no longer needed.
