Batch Type Elements

Last Updated: Version R2510

Batch Types pre-define the structure and flow of documents through the system. Each Batch Type can consist of a Scan Profile, Separation Profile, Batch Fields, Document Types, Variables, Business Rules, and a Process Flow.

A user with Designer access level is responsible for configuring the following components that may be used within a Batch Type.

• Create a Scan Profile: Pre-define scan settings such as scan resolution, single vs. duplex, color profile, and image enhancement options. Operators can choose a profile rather than set scan settings each time, OR the Designer can assign a Scan Profile to a particular Batch Type to ensure only that profile is used for the batch.

• Create a Separation Profile: Pre-define the Separation Settings that will be assigned to a Batch Type. Separation types can be Manual, Barcode or Patch Code Separation, Page Count Separation, or AI Separation.

• Create Global Variables: Create variables that can be used throughout RICOH IA.

• Add an AI Model to the Library: Configure Natif AI or Azure AI models that can be used for Data Extraction, Document Separation and / or Document Classification.

Once these settings are complete, the Designer can proceed to:

• Create a New Batch Type: Configure the settings required within a Batch type that Operator's will use to scan or import documents.

• Design a Process Flow, which requires designing the flow of documents through the system, applying rules and criteria as the document moves through various steps.
