The ability to apply one or more Signature Merges to a document is controlled at the Document Type level. This allows you to apply a one or more signatures to a document, apply different signatures to each Document Type, or to not to apply a signature to a Document Type at all.

Once one or more Signature Merges have been configured (i.e., their SignatureItem sub-elements have been added to the Front Office Scanning configuration file), you must assign it to the Document Type button(s) that the “stamp” is associated with.

To assign a Signature Merge to a Document Type button:

  1. In the Front Office Scanning configuration file, locate the DocTypes element.
  2. Identify the DocType sub-element associated with the Document Type button you are configuring.
  3. Within the DocType sub-element, locate the SignatureID setting. If this value is not present, add it to the DocType sub-element.
  4. Set the SignatureID setting to the SignatureID values associated with the Signature Merges you would like to assign to the Document Type button (i.e., the SignatureID setting assigned to the Signature Merges' associated SignatureItem sub-elements).
    For example: SignatureID="1,2,3"
  5. Optionally, the penwidth attribute in the DocType element can be used to control the width of the pen stroke used for the signature if the default pen stroke is too thin or too wide.

    By default, the penwidth setting is set to 8. To decrease the width of the pen stroke, set penwidth setting to a value between 1 and 7. To increase the width of the pen stroke, set the penwidth setting to a value of 8 or higher.

    For example: Penwidth="10"

    Tip:

    For more information on the Front Office Scanning configuration file's DocTypes element and its DocType sub-elements' settings, including the SignatureID and Penwidth settings, see The DocTypes Element.

  6. Save and close the configuration file.
