Simple Software SimpleCoversheet – Barcode Coversheet Printer

Purchase the FULL version to get advanced features like command line integration, batch printing and server-based PDF creation.


Typical SimpleCoversheet usage scenarios include:

    • Network scanners, digital copiers & MFPs
      Anyone can print a barcode coversheet, place it on the document and scan it on a shared network device. The document is processed and filed automatically by SimpleIndex, so users need no scanning software or training.
    • Backfile conversions
      Service bureaus and scanning departments documents often need to scan old files that are organized and correspond to data from another application, such as a customer database. SimpleCoversheet can connect to the database and print coversheets for each file. These are placed in front of the files during preparation, eliminating all manual indexing from the process.
    • Web-based coversheet printing

Web applications can use SimpleCoversheet to generate PDF barcode pages that users can print without having to install any software on their computer.

  • Company scanning departments
    Coversheets are a great way to ensure that the person who indexes a document is the person that knows the most about how it should be filed. Users simply print a coversheet and place it on the document before it is sent to the scanning department. This puts indexing in the hands of the person that created the document and removes all manual data entry from the scanning process.
  • Document separation & quality control
    Create generic coverpages with a fixed barcode that is used to indicate document breaks and automatically group together multi-page files. These can be printed in bulk and used whenever documents are scanned. Handprint field labels can also be added and filled out by scanner operators for quality control purposes. These can collect information like who prepped a document, who scanned it, when it was scanned, batch IDs and other tracking data.

Indexing Solutions with Barcode Recognition

Monday, 14 November 2022 by Simple Software

Barcode recognition is the most efficient way to capture index data printed on documents. If you are unfamiliar with the use of barcodes in document scanning, you can learn more about barcodes in our Barcode Scanning Guide, but if you want to know more about barcode use with SimpleSoftware products, read on.
Your browser does not support the video tag.

Some documents already have key information in barcode format on them. In many cases adding a barcode to a document is as simple as changing or adding a font. Adding barcodes to new documents is preferable as all the index data is on the document at the time it is created and in a format that can be read with near 100% accuracy.

As an alternative to placing barcodes on the individual documents, it is possible to print out a barcode cover page and place it on the file before it is scanned. The SimpleCoversheet application was designed to make this easy by providing a simple interface for selecting index values and printing a standard coversheet that contains these values in barcode format.

Barcode recognition can also be useful when you have documents with a variable number of pages that will all receive the same index values. If it is not possible to generate an indexed coversheet for these at the time they are created, a generic barcode coversheet can be used to separate the scanned images into multi-page files, one for each document. A second process can then be used to index these images one file at a time instead of one page at a time, greatly increasing throughput.

  • Read barcodes printed on scanned paper documents

  • Complete list of document scanning & indexing features

  • Affordably enable every employee to print barcodes
  • Create coversheets that allow SimpleIndex to automatically index and file documents

SimpleCoversheet Window Not Visible

Monday, 01 November 2021 by Alex Stewart

Please refer to the Wiki Documentation for the complete SimpleCoversheet reference.

By closing SimpleCoversheet a certain way it can cause the SimpleCoversheet window to not be visible. The icon will show up in the task bar, but the SimpleCoversheet window itself cannot be seen. This happens when you close SimpleCoversheet by minimizing the Window and then right clicking on the icon in the task bar and then selecting “Close window”. You can avoid this in the future by closing SimpleCoversheet with the X in the top right corner of the Window.

Instructions for making the SimpleCoversheet window visible:

  1. Open SimpleCoversheet
  2. Find the SimpleCoversheet icon in the Windows Task Bar
  3. Hold down Shift and while holding Shift right click on the icon
  4. Select Move and after clicking DO NOT move the mouse
  5. Click on any of the directional keys/arrow keys on your keyboard to lock the SimpleCoversheet window to the mouse
  6. Without clicking move the mouse around until you see it on the screen as a very small window
  7. Left click to unlock the SimpleCoversheet window from the mouse
  8. Expand the SimpleCoversheet window to the desired size
