When we were experimenting with Barcodes, we originally tried the sticker method - taking a bar code and sticking it onto  the actual page which was very time consuming and pages could be missed.  We eventually and is currently still using a virtual bar code system that we add on the first page of each document, which does not alter the original document but provides us to link and auto index the images more efficiently.

> I used a similar system to that which Roger mentioned in the early 1990's.  We integrated a program to "electronically bates number" the scanned images.  The first page carried the document number, 123456.000, each additional page had an appended number for the page, 123456.001.  Didn't mark up my originals, numbered my images for metadata and allowed for easy retrieval.  Wouldn't solve document type recognition, but I imagine you could run several sets of numbers if you didn't have too many document types, or you could build a document type code into the number itself.
