You now may define regular expressions, which describe the allowed barcode values.įor examples the regular expression \b(93|92)\d is not taken out of a longer character combination, for example out of a product number. (‘zombie’ documents by external barcodes) Kofax Capture 10 offers a way to use the barcode value for document separation. In Kofax Capture the adjustment of documents/pages can be done directly within the scanning application. (barcode recognition fails) you have to do a visual check of the document separation after scanning.

The only way to avoid these ‘zombie’ documents is to fine-tune the barcode engine (width of the bars, height of the bars) or by manual programming, which both may be cumbersome. This happens sometimes as the creators of a document may use their own barcode labels on the document too. If one of the following pages of a document had also a barcode label, which suited the criteria (barcode type, length), this barcode was taken as a separator barcode too and the document was splitted in two documents. For this reason, ‘zombie’ documents might have been built. The only criteria were the barcode type (Code39, Interleaved 2 of 5, Code 128, …) and the minimum length of the barcode (number of characters). Up to Kofax Capture 9 the barcode value could not be used as usable data for the separation. The reason for the failed recognition may be a barcode that was destroyed or blackenedĢ. If the recognition of a barcode fails, the pages of this document are attached to the previous document. This approach has been used for several years, but it has two weak points:ġ. If a batch of documents is scanned by Kofax Capture, the barcode will be recognized and the start of a new document is specified. The barcode may also be put on a single separator sheet. A well known approach to separate documents at scan time is the use of barcode labels on the first page of a document.
