# Image Ingest Engine

The `Image` ingest engine ingests image files and documents, such as PDF files.

You can use the following parameters to configure ingestion of image files and documents.

Configuration Parameter | Description
--- | ---
MaximumPages | The maximum number of pages to ingest from a multi-page image or document.
StartPage | The page in the image or document at which to start ingesting.
Type | The type of ingest engine to use. Set this parameter to `Image`.

The engine produces the following tracks, where `taskName` is the name of the ingest task:

- `taskName.Image_1`, which contains the ingested images. If you ingest an image file that has only one page, the engine creates a single record in this track. If you ingest a multi-page image or document, the engine creates multiple records in this track. This track can be referred to using the aliases `Default_Image` and `Image_1`.
- `taskName.Proxy`. This track contains information about the source file.
