In PRISMAsync it is possible to scan-to-file, scan-to-email or scan-to-SMB with the scanner of the printer. You can select a suitable scan profile from a list of scan profiles in the user interface of the scanner. The scan profiles are gathered together in a small database called the scan job type file.
Before making a scan, a scan job type must be chosen from the user interface. Scan job types are shortcuts to scan settings. The scan job types are shown on the user interface as a pick list. To configure PRISMAsync with a new set of scan job types, you must download a comma separated value (CSV) file via the Settings Editor.
A scan job type record:
Is identified by a unique filename, which combines the scan output settings. The unique name explains the kind of scan job or the post processing application.
Is used to load the correct scan output settings for a specific type of scan job.
The unique filename and Tiff-tags can be used by an application to automatically execute actions on a received Tiff-file. This supports productivity with bulk scans.
You can define part of the unique filename by using scan job types. You cannot manually change the filename on the PRISMAsync.
The scan job type record consists of a mandatory headerline and at least one Scan Job Type. There is a maximum of 99 Scan Job Types. The headerline and all subsequent Scan Job Types are separated by the record separator <CR><LF>.
The syntax of the headerline is in plain text and shows which fields can be identified in the Scan Job Type lines. The fields are separated by a selectable field separator <fseparator>. <fseparator> can be a comma "," or a semi-colon ";".
<fseparator> ::= "," | ";". <fseparator> must use the same separator for the entire file.
The following fields are available:
<headerline> ::= "dispname"
<fseparator> "format"
<fseparator> "ilc"
<fseparator> "prefix"
<fseparator> "minnr"
<fseparator> "maxnr"
<fseparator> "name_nr_title"
<fseparator> "cfname"
{ <fseparator> "subfolder" } optional
{ <fseparator> "postfix" } optional
{ <fseparator> "OrigOrientation"} optional
{ <fseparator> "OrigDuplex" } optional
{ <fseparator> "OrigKind" } optional
{ <fseparator> "OrigZoom" } optional
{ <fseparator> "OrigFormat" } optional
{ <fseparator> "DestFormat" } optional
{ <fseparator> "x" } n optional
("x" and n: zero or more undefined fields)
The scan job type is a record that defines one Scan Job Type. The scan job type matches the syntax of the headerline:
<scanjobtypeline> ::= <dispname>
<fseparator> <fileformat>
<fseparator> <ilc>
<fseparator> <filenameprefix>
<fseparator> <minnr>
<fseparator> <maxnr>

<fseparator> <conffilename>
{ <fseparator> <subfolder> } optional
{ <fseparator> <postfix> } optional
{ <fseparator> <OrigOrientation>} optional
{ <fseparator> <OrigDuplex> } optional
{ <fseparator> <OrigKind> } optional
{ <fseparator> <OrigZoom> } optional
{ <fseparator> <OrigFormat> } optional
{ <fseparator> <DestFormat> } optional
{ <fseparator> "x" } n optional
("x" and n: zero or more undefined fields)
<dispname> ::= A user-defined alphanumeric string with a minimum of 1 character and a maximum of 40 characters. The following characters cannot be used: <CR>, <LF>, "," and ";".
The display name describes the scan job. The display name can help the user of the scan-function to specify a combined number of settings and/or the post processing application.
<fileformat> ::= "TIFF G31D_MH" | "TIFF G42D_Fax" | "PDF G31D_MH" | "PDFG42D_Fax".
The file format field defines which file format (PDF or TIFF) and which compression is used for the images.
|

TIFF G42D_Fax |
TIFF CCITT.T6 Group 4 2D compressed images |
|
PDF G31D_MH |
PDF version 1.3 with Group 3 1D modified Huffman compressed images |
|
PDF G42D_Fax |
PDF version 1.3 with Group 4 2D compressed images |
<ilc> ::= "1" | "2" | "3" | "4"
Where:
1
600 dpi optimised for printing
2
300 dpi optimised for viewing and archiving
3
600 dpi at 85 lpi optimised for printing on DemandStream and other black & white printers
4
600 dpi at 106 lpi optimised for printing on DemandStream and other black & white printers
The <ilc> number sets a number of settings for Image Logic to create an optimal scan for the defined purpose.
<filenameprefix> ::= alphanumeric string with a maximum of 8 characters. The string can be empty.
The filename prefix is used in the name of the exported scan file. Use the filename prefix to select the type of post processing application, e.g. memo, archive, OCR.
<postfix> ::= alphanumeric string with a maximum of 30 characters. The string can be empty. The following characters cannot be used: / \ : * ? " < > | <CR> <LF>.
The filename postfix is used in the name of the exported scan file. Use the filename postfix to define the behaviour of the application, e.g. application = "email", options = "someone@oce.nl".
<minnr> ::= numeric string in the range 0..20
<maxnr> ::= numeric string in the range 0..20. <maxnr> must be equal to or larger than <minnr>.
<minnr> and <maxnr> define the minimum and maximum number of user-defined digits for the Scan Job Type. The user-defined digits are stored in the filename. For example, the user-defined digits can be used to select a certain archive volume or a telephone number.
When <minnr> and <maxnr> are both 0, the user does not have to enter any digits.
<namenrdialoguetitle> ::= A user-defined alphanumeric string with a maximum of 40 characters. The string can be empty. The following characters cannot be used: <CR>, <LF>, "," and ";".
The dialogue title <namenrdialoguetitle> appears when a job is started that requires a number as defined by "User input control syntax". The dialogue title explains the scan user what kind of user-defined digits are required.
<conffilename> ::= "y" | "n" | ""
Where:
y
Open a dialogue with the unique filename when a new scan job is started.

Do not open a dialogue with the unique filename when a new scan job is started.
<empty string>
Do not open a dialogue with the unique filename when a new scan job is started.
<subfolder> ::= A user-defined alphanumeric string with a maximum of 150 characters. The string can be empty. The following characters cannot be used: * ? " < > | <CR> <LF>.
Option <subfolder> defines the path to a subfolder on the scan file server. The path to the subfolder is relative to the path of the root folder on the scan server.
