Falcon User Manual - Remittance Processing - OPEX Corporation
Jobs
A job is a collection of parameters the Falcon uses for scanning items. The
jobs you set up allow you to process items in a similar manner from run to run.
The scanner captures images of items and stores the information it collects in
batches, which consist of one or more transactions. The definition of a
transaction can vary from customer to customer, and even from job to job. A
transaction may consist of several page types, such as: a check, stub (or
remittance piece), and an envelope.
Structured vs. Unstructured jobs
Structured jobs require you to scan items in a particular order. For example,
when running a structured job, the machine may prompt you to scan a batch
ticket first, then a stub, then a check, and/or another item, and finally an
envelope to signify the end of the transaction. If a page type is scanned out of
sequence or if the system is expecting a certain page type, the system will alert
you.
In an unstructured job, you can scan any of the expected page types in any
sequence. The only restriction is that the boundary, in most cases an
envelope, is scanned last. The boundary tells the system the current
transaction is complete and the next transaction will begin.
There are other job types such as Singles, Multis, Multis with Pages, Page
Only and Check Only which are discussed in detail in the CertainScan Manual.
Page types
The term “page type” is used to specify a collection of criteria that a piece must
meet to be classified as a certain type of item; i.e., length, height, barcode,
mark detect, MICR, etc. The system uses the page type parameters set up by
your System Administrator to classify items that come into the system. When
the scanner processes items in a job, it gathers data (such as length and width)
on each item and compares the item to the page types you have designated for
that job. This is how the system identifies each item scanned into the system.
The system then collects the appropriate data from the item and sorts it
according to the current job parameters.
