Setting Up Cropping Coordinates for Manifest Processor

Set up Manifest Processor cropping coordinates to define to the system the area on signed manifests that needs captured and attached to invoices.

There are two steps in setting up cropping coordinates:

Calculating – To calculate cropping coordinates, you need to create, print, and scan a sample manifest with barcodes and signatures. Using the Manifest Processor application and this sample, select the area on manifests to crop and to calculate that area's coordinates.
Defining – In Barcode Manifest Maintenance, define the cropping coordinates to the Eclipse system based on the Manifest Processor's calculations. The system uses these coordinates to capture all Manifest Processor signatures, unless the settings are de-activated.

To calculate cropping coordinates for Manifest Processor:

Create and scan a sample signed manifest with barcode.
Display the Eclipse - Manifest Processor window on your terminal.
In the Eclipse - Manifest Processor window, display the Manifest Processor directory by doing one of the following:

In the Directory field, enter the pathway for the Manifest Processor directory. The system displays the directory in the body of the window.
Click on the Browse For Folder icon – located to the right of the Directory field – to display the Browse For Folder window. Browse to the Manifest Processor directory and click OK to return to the Eclipse - Manifest Processor window with the directory displayed in the body of the window.

In the body of the window, locate and click on the sample manifest image.
From the Tools menu, select Cropping Location Tool to display the Locating Form – Control File Settings window.
Click near the upper-left corner of the signature area and drag the mouse to the lower-right corner of the signature area.

The system highlights the selected area in yellow and the corresponding barcode in green. This is the area that the system will crop for all signatures.
To re-select the signature area, repeat step 6. The system deletes any previous selection.

When you have the area selected, click on the Calculate button to display the Control File Settings window.

This window displays the coordinates for the selected area.

Keep this window open, as you will use it to populate the cropping coordinates in the Eclipse system.

To define cropping coordinates in the Eclipse system:

Calculate the cropping coordinates.
Display Solar Eclipse on your terminal.
From the System > System Files menu, select Manifest Settings to display the Barcode Manifest Maintenance screen.

Note: If prompted, log on to the character-based system.

In the list, select New and press Enter.
In the Profile/New field, enter a name for the cropping profile, such as Manifest Sigs.
Populate the following fields with the information provided in the Control File Settings window:

Field	Description
Offset X	From the Control File Settings window, copy the value for Xinto this field.
Offset Y	From the Control File Settings window, copy the value for Y into this field.
Width	From the Control File Settings window, copy the value for Width into this field.
Height	From the Control File Settings window, copy the value for Height into this field.
Character Count	From the Control File Settings window, copy the value for Character Count into this field.
Document Storage Profile	Enter the document storage profile in which manifest signatures will be stored. Note: For information about document storage profiles, see Signature Capture and Document Imaging Guidelines in the Signature Capture Suite documentation.
Enabled	Enter Yes to enable this cropping profile. If you want to use another cropping profile, enter No for the current profile and enable the other profile.

On the Control File Settings window, click the OK button to close the window.
Close the Locating Form – Control File Settings window, and delete the sample manifest from the Manifest Processor directory.
From the character-based system, press Esc to save changes and exit the Barcode Manifest Maintenance screen.
