For scanner input you have to

1. Place the barcode cover page on the top of the document in the ADF.
2. Press the Start button on the scanner.
3. Select “Barcode cover page workflow” as Scanner button default action on the Scanner
tab of Options. You can also set it to Prompt for workflow. In this case, a dialog box
appears with the available choices: Scanning, Barcode cover page workflow, and all
scanning workflows.
All available pages will be processed by the specified workflow, or until a new barcode page
is encountered. The result will be saved as specified by the workflow.
For image input you must create a barcode cover page job.
A barcode cover page job uses a special kind of watched folder. Always use a separate folder
for barcode processing. The starting time for the workflow is defined by the moment the
barcode cover page enters a watched folder.
For a barcode cover page job processing you need to
1. Create a workflow that contains the processing steps you need. Select Load Files as input
with “Select files for loading each time this workflow is started” selected.
2. Save a barcode cover page that identifies the workflow.
3. Define timing instructions for barcode folder watching in the Batch Manager by creating a
barcode cover page job.
To process with a barcode cover page job:
1. Make sure that the job is running at the required time.
2. The folder is being monitored and the workflow will be started as soon as a barcode cover
page is placed in the specified watched folder.
3. The workflow will process image files arriving in the folder after the cover page.
