How Last Page Identification Works

When Last Page Identification is configured, Quick Fields compares each page to the identification conditions defined within the processes there to see whether that page is the last page of the document in that document class. After the Last Page Identification conditions are met, the document is complete and the next page scanned becomes the first page of a new document. This process is repeated until all pages are scanned and identified.

When First Page Identification conditions are configured, every page scanned is compared to these conditions to define the first page of a document. When First and Last Page Identification conditions are configured, once the first page of a document is defined, the subsequent pages are no longer compared to the First Page Identification conditions. They are appended to the first page and then compared to the Last Page Identification conditions. Once a page meets the Last Page Identification conditions, the document is ended and the next page is compared to the First Page Identification conditions.

Other Options and Last Page Identification

When you configure options in other areas, they can affect the Last Page Identification stage. See How Documents are Identified for more information.

Note: Using multiple document classes also involves special considerations.
