--jobcontrol

--jobcontrol value

Sets the job control option when acquiring to a multipage image file. The device's TWAIN driver must support job control.

The job control option allows devices to use the feature of separating multipage acquisitions from a device into different jobs or "batches". This is usually done by a job control page or "patch sheet" (there may be other ways of separating a batch of pages). When invoked, each job is saved to a separate multipage image file.

The value parameter must be one of the following:

value	Definition
0	No job control.
1	Include job separator sheet when scanned.
2	Exclude job separator sheet when scanned.

When a job control page is encountered, the current multipage image file that is being created is saved, and a new multipage image file will be created to start the next job.

Example:

Generate multipage PDF files.

Jobs are separated by a patch page.

Patch page exists on every third page to separate the jobs:

Do not include patch page in the PDF file.

Name the files according to the smart auto-increment feature (--useinc)

Assume there are a total of 10 pages in the scanner's document feeder, including the patch pages:

twainsave --filename test0001.pdf --multipage --filetype pdf --jobcontrol 2 --useinc

If successful, four multipage PDF files will be created:

test0001.pdf (2 pages -- pages 1, 2 )

test0002.pdf (2 pages -- pages 4, 5)

test0003.pdf (2 pages -- pages 7, 8)

test0004.pdf (1 page -- page 10)

Note that pages 3, 6, and 9 are not stored, since these were patch (job separator) pages.

Default Setting:

The job control is turned off (value is 0)
