Printing a Bates Stamp on Copies

stores the images. It then prints the images based on the selections made.

Use the Bates Stamp option to add a selected Bates Stamp in a specified position on the page.
Bates Stamping is used primarily in the legal and business fields and consists of a set prefix (such
as a case number or client reference) together with a page number applied to a document as it is
being processed. The prefix can contain up to 8 alphanumeric characters. You can add a new prefix
or choose an existing one from the list provided.
