scanprep

tool that watches a input folder for new pdfs and splits it up for better processing by marking qr-code stickers

DISCLAIMER: this is totally untested. if you somehow find this and want to use it, you probably have to do some adjustments to better match your scanner settings.

example qrcode sticker

Valid qr codes:

SPLIT or DOC\d{4} (DOC00000-DOC99999): new document starting with current document
SPLITSKIP: new document with next document, current page is discarded (used for blank seperator pages)

scanning

for scanning via e.g. sane there are countless tutorial out there. This is the script i came up with, that gets executed via button presses on buttons connected via gpio.

#!/bin/bash

case $1 in
duplex) pages_per_page="2"
        source="ADF Duplex";;
simplex)   pages_per_page="1"
        source="ADF Front";;
*)    printf "Usage $0 duplex/simplex all/one" $0
          exit 2;;
esac

case $2 in
one)    more_args="--batch-count=$pages_per_page";;
all)   more_args="";;
*)    printf "Usage $0 duplex/simplex all/one" $0
          exit 2;;
esac

current_date=`date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S`
out_dir=/mnt/ScannerInbox/fujitsu/$current_date
sudo mkdir -p $out_dir
cd $out_dir
scanimage -d 'fujitsu' --source "$source" --mode Color  --page-width 210 --page-height 297 --resolution 300 --format jpeg --batch=p%04d.jpeg $more_args
echo -n $1 > done
