You can use e.g. barcodes, patch codes or separator sheets (which usually carry the patch code). Sometimes you can also separate documents by recognising some feature on the first page, e.g. a logo or a barcode thatâs already there. And of course itâs a good idea to put single usage documents in a separate batch so you just separate them by page count. This of course also works if all documents are two or three pages long.

afaik you just listed features that the printer I mentioned (or if I am wrong, other similar printers) supports
itâs my bad for not mentioning all possible workflows, I was just a bit lazy and thinking of my personal documents only, which do not work well with further smart automation, because my batches are highly irregular. So the more manual approach is the best for me currently. Maybe possible with some future AI integration.

Most of those features are implemented in the scan software on the PC, not on the scanner itself. Although there is a tendency to integrate more and more features in the firmware, which is not always a good idea. Also, if youâre scanning low volumes, Iâd say doing the separation before the scan is generally more efficient. At least thatâs how I do it. But thatâs just me, of course. I wasnât in any way trying to criticize your approach. If it works for you, itâs great.
