The Barcode Utility is designed for small-sized to mid-sized businesses to help them avoid the additional cost of

the more expensive and complex integrated solutions typically sold with barcode routing software.

The Barcode Utility enables you to streamline your workflow process by using scanned documents containing

barcodes. It allows you to:

1. Group individual pages into documents based on the barcodes within the pages.

2. Rename divided files based on the barcodes within the pages.

3. Re-direct divided files to the relevant destination based on the barcodes within the pages.

Compared to typical manual data entry, barcodes allow for a more accurate and efficient data input. The

Barcode Utility can read and analyse all the barcode identification numbers within a document scanned using a

compatible Brother machine. Each barcode identification number can then be assigned to various job profiles,

which can process the scan job and send it to the required destination folder.

5

2. Usage

2.1 Supported Input/Output File Formats

The Barcode Utility supports standard PDF (Auto colour mode OFF) for input files, and can create PDF, PDF/A,

and TIFF output files. The scanned PDF files must be created using a Brother machine that is compatible with

the Barcode Utility.

Input File Format Output File Format

PDF

PDF PDF/A

TIFF

2.2 Hot folders

• Up to 30 hot folders (target folders) can be set up in the target folder path.

• Hot folders can be added and deleted by using setting dialog box options. When adding a new hot

folder, settings cannot be copied from an existing hot folder.

• Only existing folders can be registered as a hot folder. The order in which hot folders appear in the

settings dialog box cannot be changed.

• Hot folders for which the Folder Monitoring function is enabled can be monitored simultaneously.

2.3.1 Use all enabled job profiles

All registered profiles associated with a hot folder will be prepared for all files in the hot folder. This is the

standard mode.

2.3.2 Use enabled job profiles that filter by filename

The job profiles associated with the input file name in the hot folder will be applied for the input file. This

processing mode is useful when several users or devices use the same hot folder but need to have their own

profiles.

2.3 Job Processing Modes

When a hot folder (target folder) has been set up, one of three job processing modes must be selected.

Processing modes can be selected only when the hot folder is registered and cannot be changed later.

Job Profiles for the profiles related

with the input file name "Andy"


with the input file name "Beck"


with the input file name "Cathy"

2.3.3 Use enabled job profiles that filter by metadata

The profiles applied to the input file will be filtered by metadata described in the XML file. The purpose of this mode

is almost the same as "Use enabled job profiles that filter by filename" except for the filtering method.

For more information about XML files and metadata, see Appendix D: Metadata on page 29 and Appendix E: XML

Specification for Barcodes on page 30.

2.4 Job Profiles

2.4.1 What is a job profile?

Job profiles comprise definitions for document separation, the output file properties and the output destination.

The efficient interaction between these functions is necessary to configure workflow tasks. These tasks are

defined and set in the job profile window.

Example 1

Detecting file separation using a barcode.

2.4.2 Document separation rules

The Barcode Utility can analyse multipage scanned documents and split them into smaller documents. When the

documents are split, the Barcode Utility can rename them and send them to a different destination folder.

NOTE

If your document contains pages with barcodes for file separation, you can delete them using the option in the Output

Setting tab.

Mode Description

Use page count to

separate documents

• An input file can be separated from 1 to 99 pages.

• Job profile functions for file separation are disabled even when "Enable" is

selected.

Use barcodes to separate

documents

• An input file in the target folder path is processed by matching barcode

information to related job profiles for file separation.

• Within each job profile for file separation there is an option to delete the

barcode separator page.

There are two document separation modes:

9

Example 2

Deleting the separator page containing the barcode information from the output file.

Example 3

Deleting the separator page containing the barcode used for file separation.

2.4.3 Job profile for output file

The following items can be set as the actions for the output file:

• Output file format

• Changing the output file name

If the format of the output file name has been changed,

a new output file name can be set *

* For advanced information about creating custom file names,

see Appendix A: Macro Naming Rules on page 22.

If a target input file barcode is shared with more than one job profile, a rule is applied based on the ranking of the

job profile. The order can be changed using the up and down buttons in the job profile window.

Supported Output File Formats

PDF

PDF/A-1b

TIFF

2.4.4 Job profile for output destination

The following items can be set as the actions for the output destination:

• Static folder path for the root destination.

• Specified path combining static characters and the macro naming rule.

For advanced information about creating custom names, see Appendix A: Macro Naming Rules on

page 22.

Example

If profiles are listed as follows, “Profile 2” will be applied for processing:

Profile Name Barcode ID

Profile1 1 BarcodeID: 003



NOTE

The barcode ID is the definition of the character string contained in a barcode.

11

3. Monitor Folders and Process Files

3.1 Select the Hot Folder and the Job Mode

The Barcode Utility can continuously monitor a list of hot folders (target folders) and fully automate the

processing of any incoming scanned files according to the rules you set for barcode recognition and

document separation.

NOTE

Make sure the target folder path for a hot folder is accessible from the computer or server the Barcode Utility is

running on. If you are not sure, contact your IT administrator.

1. Click (Add). The Add Target folder window appears.

2. Click the Browse button, and then select the folder you want to monitor.

You need to set up file processing functions first for the Barcode Utility to start monitoring folders for incoming

scanned documents, and then to process those documents. By default, the Folder Monitoring function is set to

Off.

NOTE

• The default name is the same as the hot folder name. If necessary, you can use identical names for more than

one hot folder.

• The same target folder path cannot be registered to multiple hot folders. Subfolders inside hot folders cannot

be monitored and will be ignored.

Example

To define the filename setting using:

• Static prefix: "document"

• Dynamic barcode ID information (for example, "Invoice")

• Dynamic page counter (for example, "001")

Create the following macro naming rule: "document_[BARCODE]_[COUNTER]".

Your first document will be named as follows: "document_Invoice_001".

You can change the order of file name elements. For example, for "[BARCODE]_[COUNTER]_document", the

filename would be "Invoice_001_document".

For more examples, see Appendix A: Macro Naming Rules on page 22.

Using Output File and Destination Name Macros

An output file or destination can be given a user-defined name and macro name rules can also be applied. By

combining the static path with various macro naming rules, subfolders can be created as a static path for the file

destination.

Macro Naming Rules Description

[BARCODE] Inserts the recognised information from the barcode ID

[COUNTER] Adds a counter value

[YEAR] Adds a creation year (synchronised from system)

[MONTH] Adds a creation month (synchronised from system)

[DATE] Adds a creation day (synchronised from system)

[HOUR] Inserts the hour information from the system time

[MIN] Inserts the minute information from the system time

[SEC] Inserts the second information from the system time

[INPUTFILENAME] Inserts the original input file name

Extended Macro Description

Output Destination Name Rules

Customised output destination paths can be defined by combining static paths and macro commands.

Example

To define the filename setting using:

• Static path: C:\

• Macro naming rule: [BARCODE]\[YEAR]\[COUNTER]

• Barcode information: Statement001

• System date information: 15/06/2017

• Current counter number: 003

The output destination will be: “C:\Statement001\2017\003\”

NOTE

• The static path cannot be left blank.

• Only an existing folder can be selected as the static path.

• The static path cannot share the same path as a hot folder.

• The static path name cannot be longer than 247 characters.

25

[COUNTER] Macro Naming Rules

When the naming rule [COUNTER] is used, the initial counter number is set to zero. The counter is added to the

file name in a three digit number format (000 - 999), digits are then added incrementally from 1000 onwards.

There are two modes for the [COUNTER] macro naming rule:

A Start with the lowest available number. (See examples 1 and 3.)

B Start with a number which is 1 more than the highest number. (See examples 2 and 4.)

Example 1 Example 2

Three files are already contained in the destination

folder.

1. document_000.pdf

2. document_001.pdf

3. document_099.pdf

By using the "document_[COUNTER]" format, and

applying the macro naming rule A that starts with the

lowest available number, the file name of the next

output file will be "document_002.pdf".

Three files are already contained in the destination

folder.

1. document_000.pdf

2. document_001.pdf

3. document_099.pdf

By using the "document_[COUNTER]" format, and

applying the macro naming rule B that starts with a

number that is 1 more than the highest number, the file

name of the next output file will be

“document_100.pdf".

Example 3 Example 4

Three folders are already contained in the destination

path.

1. folder_000

2. folder_001

3. folder_099

By using the "folder_[COUNTER]" format, and applying

the macro naming rule A that starts with the lowest

available number, the folder name of the next output

folder will be "folder_002".

Three folders are already contained in the destination

path.

1. folder_000

2. folder_001

3. folder_099

By using the "folder_[COUNTER]" format, and applying

the macro naming rule B that starts with a number that

is 1 more than the highest number, the folder name of

the next output folder will be "folder_100".
