Using a Patchcode for Scanning
DR-M160 supports batch separation (automatic file separation)
functions by using patchcodes.
By tucking patchcode sheets supplied with this scanner into a
document and scanning it, the scanner can automatically separate
files by images of documents containing patchcode sheets (or
documents after the patchcode sheet).
Hint

software. Other applications that support this function include ISIS-
compatible applications. It is not supported by TWAIN-compatible
applications.
• Patchodes are included with this product in PDF format.
Applications that can read PDF files such as the supplied
CapturePerfect are required to use this function.

driver as PDF files.
