Another application may involve high quality slick paper that requires more aggressive de-doubling. Another application may involve heavy stock paper that needs to be pushed into the feeder faster. One of the most complex handling requirements involves processing envelopes intermixed with documents, without track stoppages or manual handling. The ImageTrac allows each application, or job, to have its own profile with specific motor settings for each document profile and mix. The single most important function of an intelligent scanner.
Most scanners feed a sheet of paper, capture an image and then start the cycle over.
Each piece of paper is tracked as it moves through the different stations such as feed, registration, barcode, printing and pocketing. If a piece of paper stops in the scanner, it is the responsibility of the tracking software to identify the location of the document and alert the operator to allow for reprocessing of the questionable item without impacting the other pieces of paper in the system. This dramatically impacts the scanner s wall clock throughput. A large part of this throughput effectiveness comes from the extensive document tracking and recovery features of the ImageTrac. It is the operator s responsibility to find the piece of paper and clear the item.
