The ability to apply an Image Merge to a document is controlled at the Document Type level. This allows you to apply a different Image Merge to each Document Type, or to decide not to apply an Image Merge to a Document Type at all.

Once an Image Merge has been configured (i.e., its MergeItem sub-element and Image sub-element 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.

In addition, you must also configure the input button associated with the Document Type to use a webcam to acquire images for the Image Merge.

To assign an Image 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 MergeID setting. If this value is not present, add it to the DocType sub-element.

    Set the MergeID setting to the MergeID value associated with the Image Merge you would like to assign to the Document Type button (i.e., the MergeID setting assigned to the Image Merge's associated MergeItem and Image sub-elements).

    For example: MergeID="1"

  4. Within the same DocType sub-element, locate the camera setting. If this value is not present, add it to the DocType sub-element.
  5. Set the camera setting to true.
    For example: camera="true"
  6. If you wish to use a webcam that is not set as your workstation's default streaming video device, specify the webcam by name using the cameradevice setting:
    • Within the DocType sub-element, locate the cameradevice setting. If this value is not present, add it to the DocType sub-element.

    • Set the cameradevice setting to the name of the webcam.

      For example: cameradevice="Logitech WebCam C525"

  7. If you wish to adjust the number of seconds the Front Office Scanning client waits before capturing a still image from a webcam, specify this delay interval using the shutterdelay setting:
    • Within the DocType sub-element, locate the shutterdelay setting. If this value is not present, add it to the DocType sub-element.

    • Set the shutterdelay setting to the desired interval, between one and ten seconds. The default delay interval is two seconds.

      For example: shutterdelay="5"

  8. Save and close the configuration file.
