30.2.9.5 Scanning files

You can use go_scan to scan a new file. A prerequisite for this is that a scanner is connected to the respective ArchivistaBox.

In addition, you can use append_to=xxx to carry out a scan in an existing file. You enter the desired file number in place of 'xxx'.

You use scandef=y to specify the desired scan definition.

Furthermore, you can also include field information with a file during scanning. You can do this by using meta=Fieldname:Value. Here, multiple fields can be addressed with multiple meta blocks.

The following example is intended to clarify the various possibilities during scanning:

http://localhost/perl/avclient/index.pl?
go_scan&append_to=44&scandef=3&
meta=Titel:Meier&meta=OrderNo:1001

If the above command is submitted as a whole line under 'localhost', the scanning process is triggered and the scanned pages are added to file 44. The third scan definition is used in this instance and the file then receives the value 'Meier' in the 'Title' (you have to user the german name 'Titel') field and the value '1001' in the 'OrderNo' field.
