Patch Types 2, 3 and T 
 these patch types are used for image 
addressing. When the Patch Reader detects a patch, it automatically 
assigns a new image address to the new document. This eliminates the 
task of trying to determine where one document stops and the next starts 
when you are viewing electronic images. It provides a hierarchical 
document structure and offers an auto-batching alternative.  
The Patch Reader controls document level changes by automatically 
sensing a predefined patch code and changing the document level 
accordingly. 
IMPORTANT:  Do not use these illustrated patches for production – they 
are not to spec. 
Patch 2 
 assigns a Level 2 
to the current document 
Patch 3 
 assigns a Level 3 
to the current document 
Patch T/Transfer Patch 
 
assigns a predetermined level 
to the next document 
 
 
 
The Transfer Patch Definition is also defined by the application.  The 
Transfer Patch Definition controls the level assigned to the next document 
when a Transfer Patch is used.  For example, if the Transfer Patch 
Definition for the current operation is defined as Level 3 and a Transfer 
Patch is used, the next document will be assigned Level 3. 
Patch code placement 
Patches must appear parallel to the leading edge of the document:
