Bates Numbering

The Bates Numbering tab, in the Laserfiche Snapshot Printing Preferences dialog box, configures the printing of identifying numbers on Snapshot pages.

  • Enable Bates numbering: Enables the printing of identifying Bates Numbers.
    • Select existing Bates number configuration: Choose from a list of a saved collection of Bates Numbering settings.
    • New Bates Format: Saves the current settings as a new saved configuration.
    • Use prefix: Specify a prefix for the number. (If this option is cleared, only the number will be used.)
    • Start numbering at: Specify the first number that will be used in numbering.
    • Mode: Specify whether the Bates number will be transparent or opaque. A transparent background allows the content behind the Bates number to be visible; an opaque background ensures the Bates number is clearly recognizable.
    • Start numbering at number in case of every printing: Selecting this option will begin every print job at the specified number, and will reset to that number with each new print job.
    • Font selection: Specify the font that the numbers and prefix (if any) will be printed in.
  • Padding Characters: Padding characters expand the number to a certain number of characters. For instance, if the padding character is 0 and the minimum length is 5, a value of 1 would be printed as 00001.
    • Minimum length including padding characters: The minimum length of the number once its padding has been applied.
    • Padding character: The character used to pad the number to the minimum size.
  • Preview Bates Numbering: Displays the numbering as configured above.
  • Position on the page: Where the Bates number will be placed. In addition to determining the general position on the page, you may specify an offset value to fine-tune the Bates number location and enter the amount of rotation (in degrees) to be applied
  • Text Color: The color used for the Bates number by either entering the exact RGB value or browsing to select a color by clicking Color Palette.
