While using the Scanshel 1000, you can assign a specific document category to each of the

scanner buttons, see Scanner button assignment, page 24. Once assigned, pressing one of

the scanner buttons will initiate a scan in the assigned scanning mode.

MAGNETIC STRIPS

Reading magnetic strips works in much the same way. The data is extracted as soon as you

swipe a card through the magnetic reader.

Extracted text

The Extracted text can be saved in two ways:

1. Each record in its own text file.

2. Each record appended to the last record at a new line in the same text file.

Text file naming in auto save mode - Allows the user to choose between three types of

file names:

1. Ascending file name (e.g. MyData-0.txt, MyData-01txt, MyData-02txt…).

2. Fixed file name: Each record will be saved with the same file name, either

overwriting the previous file, or appending the new record as a new line in the same

txt file according to user definition.

3. Person’s name or ID number (as extracted form the magnetic strip) - The text file

name can be saved either under the name of the person or under the ID number in

the data record.
