Annotation (Bates Stamping) 
Overview 
Adding notes to scanned and copied pages (annotation) is primarily a user-controlled feature.  An 
Annotation button is accessed by pressing the Copy button on the device's Main (All Services) screen, 
then by pressing the Output Format tab.  Bates Stamping is one of the selections available by pressing 
the Annotation button. 
Bates Stamping is used in the legal profession to sequentially number or date/time-mark documents as 
they are scanned and copied by the system.  A number of parameters are available for selection, as 
specified below. 
Note: Other forms of annotation are available, with default parameters set by the System 
Administrator using the same button-pressing sequence stated in this section under Configuring a 
precise bates stamp location
.  For these other forms of annotation, note that you will need to press 
the Annotation - Create Stamps button on the Copy Mode Settings screen to create individual stamp 
text.
