1 Getting Started
Kodak Capture Pro Software is ideal for imaging, forms processing and
workflow applications, and as a standalone application. It manages one- and
two-sided scanning, indexing and batching in color, black and white, and/or
grayscale. Batches can be easily exported to many popular applications.
Capture Pro Software allows you to fully utilize your scanner capabilities for
maximum productivity. All functions are performed in the software; no special
hardware acceleration is required.
Capture Pro Software is designed for speed, accuracy, and ease-of-use. It
en
ables optimum scanner throughput and maximum productivity. A high-speed
multi-page display presents the images and optional index data as documents
ar
e scanned. A complete set of icon-based tools is avai
lable to simplify
scanning management.
This guide provides the basic steps for
creating a new batch, scanning your
documents, editing your scanning images and outputting a batch. In addition, a
description of windows, menus and tools is also described.

Terminology Before you begin a basic understanding of some of the terminology used in
Kodak Capture Pro Software is helpful.
Kodak Ca
pture Pro Software is “job” based. A job is a configuration that is
setup to capture and process a set of documents that you want to scan.
To scan documents in a job, you need to create a ba
tch to hold the scanned
documents, images and data before you output them.
Kodak Ca
pture Pro Software organizes scanned documents in the following
hierarchy:
• Batch: co
ntains one or more scanned documents (similar to a folder or
hanging file containing several separate documents).
• Document:
contains one or more page(s) related to a single item (e.g., the
contents of an envelope).
• Page:
are physical sheets of paper that are fed through the scanner to
produce images.
• Image: ele
ctronic representations of scanned pages.
Output is
the process of sending the batch to the desired output system /
location in the format that you chose.
See “Appendix A Glossary” on page 53 for a full listing Ko
dak Capture Pro
Software terminology.
Launching Kodak
Capture Pro Software
If you are not using the Index Only or Auto Import editions, be sure your
scanner is turned on and is attached properly to the PC. If you purchased an

30 A-61735 April 2017
Using Database Lookup After scanning has been performed and the user enters Index mode
(Index>Edit Index Fields), the Lookup will always be performed on a
document whenever the document is navigated to while in indexing mode.
If the index field that is being used for the Lookup already has a value (e.g.,
from barcode or
zonal OCR) then the Lookup for a document will be performed
automatically when navigating to the document.
If data is manually being entered in the index
field, then the Lookup will be
performed when the user leaves the index field. If the Tab key is used to
navigate away from the index field just entered, the results of populating the
other index fields will be displayed for verification. If the Enter key is used or
one of the other indexing mode function keys (i.e., F9, F10, F11) to navigate to
another document, then the Lookup will be performed and the other index
fields will be populated. However, you will not see the results of the Lookup as
that document is no longer being displayed in indexing mode.
If the Lookup index field is populate
d using Drag n’ Drop OCR, then the
Lookup will be performed immediately and the results of populating the other
index fields will be displayed for verification.
If the value being used for Lookup is only pa
rtially known, the asterisk
character ' * ' may be used to replace the unknown character(s). The asterisk
character must be the last character. For example, if the Lookup value is a
phone number but only the first four digits are readable, the value "557-3*"
may be entered. All phone numbers beginning with "557-3xx...." will be
retrieved from the database and you may select the correct value.
When a Lookup is based on two values and only one value is known, the
aster
isk character may be used in place of the unknown value. For example,
the Lookup is based on Last_Name AND First_Name and the Address will be
looked up. If only the last name is known, it is entered in the index field "Last
Name" and the asterisk character is entered in the index field "First Name". If
only one record is found for the last name entered, the first name and address
will be populated. If multiple records are found for the last name, the Multiple
Results dialog box will be displayed and the correct entry may be chosen.
Using Double Data Entry A job that has one or more batch or document index fields configured for
Dou
ble Entry is used to scan documents like any other job.
When document scanning is complete and the batch is ready for indexing the
op
erator selects Index>Index1. This changes the Batch Status from Available
to Index1, meaning the batch is ready for the entry of the first set of index
values.
A-61735 April 2017 31
When the first index operator has entered the index values for all documents
they will select Index>Index2. This changes the Batch Status from Index1 to
Index2, meaning the batch is now ready for the entry of the second set of index
values.
The second index operator will not see the values entered by the first index
operator.
If the value entered by the second index operator matches the first value, no
action
is required and indexing continues.
If the first and second values do not match, the Entry Resolution dial
og box will
be displayed and the correct entry is selected by the operator.
NOTES:
• If the scanning operator is also entering th
e first set of index values they will
need to select Index>Index1 followed immediately by selecting
Index>Index2 when scanning and the first index operation is complete.
• The comparison of the Index1 and Index
2 values is case sensitive. For
example "UPPER CASE" is not a match to "Upper Case". Also leading
zeros are significant. For example, the value 123 is not a match to 0123.
• Double Entry index fields will have all leading and trailing white space
r
emoved before the value is saved.
For example, if the value “ Shipment “ is entered, the value is saved as
“
Shipment”. This means that if Index1 is entered as “ Shipment” and
Index2 is entered as “Shipment “ the values will be a match.
32 A-61735 April 2017
Entry Resolution The Entry Resolution dialog box is displayed when the second index value
matches the first index value.
The index operator has the following choices:
• Select the entry made by the first index operator by selecting Entr
y1.
• Select the entry they made by selecting Entry2.
• Enter a new value in the New Entry field is neither entry is correct.
• Cancel and close the Entry Resolution dialog box if they do not want to
ma
ke a choice. If the decision is made to not resolve the mismatched index
value on one or more required index fields, the following message will be
displayed if an attempt is made to output the batch, One or more index
fields require Double Entry. You may not output the batch at this time.
Do you wish to enter Index Mode?
If none of the Double Entry fields are required, the Entry Resolution dialog
box
will be displayed on output. All Double Entry index fields with entry
mismatches must be resolved before output.
NOTES:
• If a Double Entry field is not a required
field then one or both of the index
entries may be left blank and the Entry Resolution dialog box will not be
displayed; there will be no error on output.
• If both Double Entry values are entered and do not match, the operator must
ma
ke a selection on the Entry Resolution dialog box before output.
• An index field enabled for Double Entry may not be used to perform a
Datab
ase Lookup or be a field verified or populated by Database Lookup.

Frequently Asked
Questions — Button
Manager
Question: When I am using more than one Kodak scanning application (i.e.,
Smart Touch and Desktop) which one is used with the button on my Kodak
scanner?
Answer: The Kodak scanning application that is activated by the button on
your Kodak scanner varies depending on the operating system running on the
PC your scanner is attached to, the order in which the applications were
launched, and whether or not the user has administrative rights. See the next
question for how to configure your PC for use with the scanner button.
Question: Can I configure my PC so a specific application is used with the
scanner button?
Answer: Yes, this is done by using the scanner’s Properties settings.
1. Login as an administrator.
2. Go to Control Panel>Scanners and Cameras.
3. Select the scanner attached to your PC.
4. Select the Events tab.
5. Configure the scanner button to start the program that you want to use for
that button numbers.
6. Log off the administrator account.
7. Login as a non-administrator account.
You can assign an application to each individual button number by using this
method. For example, buttons 1 through 4 can be set to activate Desktop and
buttons 5 through 9 can be set to activate Smart Touch.
NOTE: For Windows 7 and Windows 8, you must login as the “super”
administrator.
Question: If I have both Capture Pro Software and Smart Touch installed on
my PC, how can I configure my PC so that Capture Pro Software is always
used when a scanner button is pressed.
Answer: Follow the procedure below:
1. Login as an administrator.
2. Exit Smart Touch and uncheck Run application at Windows startup.
3. Launch Capture Pro Software.
4. Log off the administrator account.
5. Login as a non-administrator account.
NOTE: The same steps will work if you have Capture Desktop installed
instead of Capture Pro Software.
A-61735 April 2017 51
Question: If I have both Capture Pro Software and Smart Touch installed on
my PC, how can I configure my PC so Smart Touch is always used when a
scanner button is pressed?
Answer: Follow the procedure below:
1. Login as an administrator.
2. Launch Smart Touch.
3. Right-click on the scanner icon in the system tray.
4. Select Remove icon.
5. Make sure the Run application at Windows startup checkbox is
checked. If it is not, check the box and exit Smart Touch.
6. Launch Smart Touch again.
7. Log off the administrator account.
8. Login as a non-administrator account.
NOTE: If you are typically logged on as an administrator when using Capture
Pro Software and Smart Touch, then the last application launched will
be the one that is used when a scanner button is pressed.
Question: How does configuring the scanner button from the Properties dialog
box differ from configuring the button from the system tray?
Answer: Each serves a different purpose. When using the scanner’s
Properties dialog box you are instructing the PC which application to activate
when the scanner’s button is pressed. The application activated can depend
on the scanner button number displayed on the scanner.
When using the system tray (by right-clicking on the application icon displayed
in the system tray) to configure the button setup for the application, you are
instructing the application what operation to perform when the button is
pressed (e.g., Scan to PDF, Scan to email, etc.). The operation performed
depends on the button number displayed on the scanner.
Question: Why is the scanner Properties Event dialog box displayed when I
press the scanner button?
Answer: The operating system displays this dialog box when the button is
pressed and none of the Kodak applications are running. Select an application
listed in the dialog box to associate the scanner button to that application.
Question: Can the buttons of non-Kodak scanners be configured to use
shortcuts?
Answer: No. The Button Manager, Shortcut Setup only supports Kodak
scanners.

Appendix A Glossary
Attachment — when scanning a multi-page document, an attachment refers
to those pages that are in addition to the lead or first page of the document.
For instance, when scanning a 3-page document, pages 2 and 3 are
considered attachments.
Auto Crop — autom
atically removes the border of an image.
Auto Deskew — au
tomatically straightens the image.
Bar code zone — a ba
r code zone is a section of an image defined as the
location that may contain a barcode. Multiple different locations and
characteristics (e.g., bar code type) may be set up on an image. The bar codes
within these zones may be used for separation or indexing.
Batch — a
collection of documents. A job can be used as the basis for
creating many batches (each up to 999999999 documents; essentially
unlimited). Processing a batch means converting the batch to a specific output
format (i.e., single-page TIFF, PDF, LaserFiche, etc.) and sending it to a batch
destination folder/subdirectory. Batches can be processed one by one
or together.
Document — a pape
r document is a collection of pages; an electronic
document is also a collection of pages, each of which is represented by one or
more images. A document containing many pages is called a multi-page
document (e.g., a file folder or article).
Document index — the
document index links search fields (up to 10 search
fields) with the document number of each document. The document index can
be built manually or automatically with bar codes, OCR values or default
values.
Dual Stream — a
lso referred to as simultaneous scanning — is the scanner’s
ability to produce both color/grayscale and black and white images
simultaneously without any further processing required by the host computer.
File format —
a bit-mapped graphic file format that is usable for color,
grayscale and black and white images.
Grayscale — a ra
nge of gray tones that cover the entire visible light spectrum
from white to black.
Image —
the scanner converts sides to images. Every image belongs to a
document with a unique document number. Capture Pro Software gives every
image a sequential number inside its document. One document can contain
up to 999999999 (e.g., essentially unlimited) images. Capture Pro Software
di
stinguishes between an image coming from the front or rear side of a
page. This allows Capture Pro Software to perform side-specific processing
(e.g., deletion of blank rear sides) where appropriate.
Capture Pro Software also distinguishes between color, grayscale, and black
and white images and
can perform color/grayscale versus black and white
specific processing.
Example: Document 250 contains two dou
ble-sided pages and produces an
electronic document number 250, which contains four images (1-4).

Index file audit — the verifying system that ensures all index values comply
with the input/output format.
Job — Kodak Capture Pro Software is “job” based. A job is a configuration that
defines what to do with a set of documents that you want to scan. For
example, you may use a job to scan all the pages in the scanner’s feeder and
create a single PDF file with the option to type in a name for the PDF file (a
default job supplied with Capture Pro Software called “Scan to PDF”).
A job contains all of the settings related to document capture and can be either
general settings for “any” type of document or specifically set for a particular
document type (i.e., invoices or personnel records). These settings can include
bar code settings, document or batch separation, index definitions, OCR
settings as well as settings related to the output files you want to create (JPEG,
TIFF, PDF, Searchable PDF, etc.), or the document management system you
will send the documents to (Microsoft SharePoint, LaserFiche, etc.).
To scan documents in a job, you need to create a batch to hold the scanned
documents, images and data before you output them.
Kodak Capture Pro Software is shipped with three pre-defined jobs.
• Ready to Scan: a simple job setup allowing you to get familiar with Capture
Pro Software and start scanning right away.
• Scan to PDF: similar to Ready to Scan, this job will scan a document and
display the first page and prompt the user to enter a filename. The filename
is used when you output the documents.
• Scan to e-mail: similar to Scan to PDF. When the PDF file is created, your
email account will automatically be opened with the PDF attached and ready
to send to an email recipient.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)— a popular standard for
compressing color still images.
ODBC (Open DataBase Connectivity) — a standard database access method
developed by the SQL Access group. This method makes it possible to access
any data from any application, regardless of which database management
system (DBMS) is handling the data.
OCR (Optical Character Recognition) — the process of recognizing printed
characters by a software application.
Output — the processing of the scanned images and delivering them, with any
index data, to the next stage in the document’s lifecycle. Other software
applications may call this the Release process whereby the scanned
documents are “released” to the next step.
Page — a page in paper form is part of a paper document. A page can
produce one image (single-sided page), two images (double-sided page), or
four images (both color and black and white) after scanning. An electronic
page associates all the images produced when the paper page was scanned.

Page Setup (Scanner Settings Profiles) — page setups hold all of the settings
used to tell the scanner how to capture images. These include scan settings
(e.g., Black & White, Grayscale or Color, one-sided or two-sided scanning) and
imaging settings (i.e., rotation, resolution, etc.)
Kodak Capture Pro is installed with many pre-defined settings to capture
images or you can easily create your own custom profiles.
Page setup is a two-stage process:
• First, setup a scanner-specific “scanner profile” in the scanner’s driver which
contains the physical scanning settings. This tells the scanner how to
capture the images (i.e., resolution, front/back, scanner imaging
enhancements, etc.).
• Second, setup a Capture Pro Software Page Setup that contains the
“scanner profile” to use when scanning and any software-related settings for
scanned pages. These include any image rotation (if not supported by the
scanner), blank page removal, image merging (join both front/rear of a
check into a single image file) or image splitting (split an A3 into two A4
images), etc.
Scan Cache — the location where images are stored after being scanned into
a batch and before the batch is processed. By default, the scan cache is
defined to be on the local hard drive (e.g., C:\) of the scanning PC.
Side — one page has two sides, front and rear. With single-sided pages, the
rear is blank.
Simultaneous scanning — see dual stream.
System Output Destination — determines the image format (e.g., TIFF, PDF,
JPEG) and output destination for a batch that is processed. Included are the
name and output directory structure for image files and index files.TIFF
(Tagged Image File Format) — a bitmapped graphic file format that is usable
for color, grayscale and black and white images.
