Workflows
Barcode driven workflows
In OmniPage Pro 14 Office, you can run workflows without specifying 
the workflow name inside the program. You do this using barcode cover 
pages that define which workflow should run. Workflows with image file 
input are handled using special watched folders. In these cases, cover page 
starting is available only for workflows that ask for run-time specification 
of file names, because this is what the cover page provides.
To scan with a cover page
Create a named workflow in OmniPage Pro with scanner input and a 
saving step. In the last Workflow Assistant panel select Print Cover Page. 
Close the Assistant with Finish; a print dialog box appears ready to print 
the cover page. 
To use the cover page, place it on the top of the document in the ADF. 
Be sure Start Batch Manager scheduler at system startup is selected in the 
General Panel of the Batch Manager’s dialog box. When you press the 
scanner button a dialog box appears. Select OmniPage Pro 14 and then 
Barcode driven workflow. This will start OmniPage Pro if necessary, it will 
read the cover page and process the document underneath using the 
defined workflow. It continues until the ADF is empty. If the option 
Prompt for more pages is on, the program asks whether to continue with 
another stack of pages or finish. Add stacks until the document is 
completed. On subsequent scans you can choose whether they should be 
barcode driven or not.
To read image files with a cover page
Create a named workflow in OmniPage Pro with a saving step and with 
input from image files with run-time prompting for file names. In the last 
Workflow Assistant panel select Save Cover Page to File. When you close 
the Assistant, a system Save As dialog box lets you save the cover page for 
this workflow to an image fileBy default the file name is the job name 
and the file type is TIFF.
Then open the Batch Manager. Use its Tools menu to open the Options 
dialog box and go to the Barcode panel to define two sets of folders. 
First, define one or more barcode driven input folders. These folders 
should be used only for barcode driven processing. They are watched
