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:
