## Configure Bates Stamping Settings:

- **Starting Number:** Set the starting number for the Bates stamp. This is usually set to 1, but can be adjusted as needed.
- **Increment Value:**Define the increment value, typically set to 1, which will increment the number by 1 for each subsequent page.
- **Position:** Choose the position on the page where the Bates stamp will appear (e.g., top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right).
- **Font and Size:**Select the font type and size for the Bates stamp text to ensure it is clear and readable.
- **Prefix/Suffix:** If needed, you can add a prefix or suffix to the number. For example, "Doc-" as a prefix would result in "Doc-001, Doc-002, etc."

**Additional Settings:**

- Date/Time Stamp: Some configurations allow you to include a date/time stamp along with the Bates number.
- Page Range: Specify the range of pages to apply the Bates stamp if you do not want it on every page.

## Save and Apply Settings:

After configuring all the settings, save your configuration.
 Apply the Bates stamping to the document you want to [print](https://bdsdoc.com/kb-articles/how-to-protect-images-from-unauthorized-copying/) or scan.

## Preview and Print/Scan:

It’s often useful to preview the first page to ensure the Bates stamp appears as desired.
 Proceed with printing or scanning your document with the Bates stamp applied.
