The table at the bottom of the "Scan" tab displays information about scan jobs, i.e. scans that have been started but not yet finished. If a document feeder is used, Eikazo starts a new scan immediately after the previous scan is finished, before the latter has been completely processed by filters and sent to a printer or stored in a file. In this case you may see more than one entry in the job table.
job status table, when two scan jobs are active
Jobs that are active, i.e. that are processed normally without any error, disappear automatically from the job table when they have been sent to a printer and/or successfully saved to a file.
If an error occurs, the job remains in the job table, until it is manually removed or restarted.
error example: A scan could not be started, because the ADF is empty
If a job has an error, you can either delete it or restart it. Click with the mouse pointer on the line of the job in the table and then click the remove or retry button. In the example above, there is of course no difference between retrying and deleting the job, because no image has yet been scanned, but the following screenshot shows a more complex situaion.
error example: disk full
Here, the oldest job could not be saved, but three other scans have been made meanwhile. (The number of scans that can be started, before Eikazo stops because an error occured depends on the number of enabled postprocessing filters.) When you click on the error job and then click the delete button, all four jobs will be deleted.
The logic behind this concept is as follows: If only the job having an error is removed, the other three scan jobs could theoretically be saved (admittedly, this is not very likely, if the disk if full, but you can for example change the destination directory). Then you need to take the fourth page from the top of the stack of scanned documents, put it back into the document feeder, scan it, and put it back at its original position in the stack. This makes it very easy to mess up the stacks of scanned and of unscanned documents.
If all four documents in the example must be scanned again, you can simply take all of them from the stack of scanned documents, put them back into the document feeder together with the other unscanned documents and continue, when you have fixed the error.
Hence the logic of Eikazo is: If you delete a scan job, all other jobs that have been started later will also be deleted.
To help you find successfully scanned documents, the output tab provides a list of the last 20 saved files.
