Question / Problem: 

How to configure the Imprinter Settings in a KTA 7.5 Scan Create New Job Form.  Note: You need to be at least KTA 7.5.0.16 if you require the Imprinter Counter value to function.

Answer / Solution: 

KTA can be configured to control the scanner's Imprinter settings.  This can be useful for storing the last-used Imprinter Counter value and using that value to seed the starting Imprinter Counter value in the next scanning session. 

 

Example Scan Form:
