If the Pre-Caching property is enabled in a manual step, users will not have to wait for the entire batch to download. Instead, when an operator takes/opens a batch, only the administrator's specified number of pages is downloaded from each document (before the remaining pages of each document are downloaded). This property is particularly useful when batches contain very large documents (or a large number of documents), or when hand-key indexing is always performed on the first few pages.

To enable the Pre-Caching setting for any manual step:

1. In Job Definitions, expand the General node in the step's Properties grid.
2. Under the Pre-Caching property, set the Enabled property to True.
3. Enter a value in the Number Pages field.
