Click Image Processing under Advanced Options on the Output tab

2. Select the desired image processing option and configure as desired.

NOTE: The sections that follow provide detailed information about each option.

Auto-Deletion The Auto-Deletion option allows you to set options for automatically deleting an image with no content or very busy pages (e.g., the back of a form which has a lot of explanatory text on it). Auto deletion settings are specified independently for front and back images.

If you are scanning color, grayscale and/or black and white image types, auto deletion settings are also set independently. Therefore, you can choose to delete only the selected image type.

When using Auto-Deletion, it is recommended that you scan some

representative documents which you consider to be blank or almost blank, by using the Test option. The results of the Test option will help you determine if you should set the auto delete values using the Image size (byte) is option or the Image content (%) option.

• Image size (byte) is Above — select this option if you want to delete pages with a lot of busy, explanatory content on them. For example, if you are scanning documents with similar content (e.g. insurance forms) on the front and back page, and the front page has content you need to keep, but the back page contains instructions on how to file a claim (that you do not need to keep), enter the number of bytes that you want Capture Pro Software to delete any image file greater than that amount. Any image that is more than this value will be considered too large and will be deleted.

• Image size (byte) is Below — select this option if you want to delete pages with no content or very little content. Enter the number of bytes that Capture Pro Software will consider the image size to be blank. Any image that is less than this value will be considered blank and will be deleted.

• Image content (%) is Above — this option is similar to the Image size (byte) Above option except that you enter a percentage value that Capture Pro Software will consider the image to have too much content. Any image

• Image content (%) is Below — this option is similar to the Image size (byte) Below option except that you enter a percentage value that Capture Pro Software will consider the image to be blank or too little content. Any image that is less than this value will be considered blank and will be deleted. Use this setting when there are blank pages.

NOTES:

• When selecting the Image size (byte) option, other factors such as resolution, compression, etc., will impact the image size.

• The Image content (%) option only looks at the percentage of information on the image and therefore, is a more consistent and dependable option to use when images may vary in size, resolution, compression, etc.

Never — click Never, if you do not want to delete any images.

Auto-orientation This option analyzes the content of your documents and orients each document so it is right-reading.

Auto orientation does not work with all character sets. It is recommended that you scan some test documents to ensure the document will be oriented correctly.

• You can select Enable orientation on front or Enable auto-orientation on back.

NOTE: Auto-orientation will be performed during the output creation process.

Background color smoothing This option can be used for documents or forms with a background color to help produce images with a uniform background color.

The smoothing options can be applied to the front and/or back of a page.

You can select a smoothing type of:

None — no background smoothing will be performed; image will not be changed.

Automatic — the background color(s) will be selected and smoothed automatically.

Change to White — identifies up to three background colors and substitutes each one with white. If you select this option, the Apply to drop-down box will be available allowing you to select:

• Predominant: only the most common background color will be changed to white.

• Neutral: only the neutral background color(s) will be changed to white.

• All: the background color(s) will be changed to white.

Aggressiveness — controls the amount of variability that can be corrected in the background color(s). Select a value from 1 to 20.

After Background Color Smoothing

2-92 A-61750 September 2015 Preview — opens the Background Color Smoothing Preview dialog box, which allows you to compare the original image against the changed image and alter your settings.

Image Edge Fill This option allows you to fill and clean up the unwanted edges on a scanned image by covering the area in Black or White (as selected). This option can be applied to the front and/or back of an image.

You may want to use this option if you have pages with punch holes or ragged images that you want to clean up.

• Select a value in the Top, Left/Right and/or Bottom area(s) from each side of the scanned image to be filled in 1/100ths of an inch, or select All sides match to fill in the same amount on all sides.

NOTE: When using Image Edge Fill, be careful not to enter a value too large as it could fill in image data that you want to keep.

Original: 3-hole punch without Image Edge Fill

Image with 37/100^th of an inch:

fills half of the hole. Value is not enough.

Image with 62/100^th of an inch:

fills the entire hole and keeps all text. Value is good.

Image with 150: fills the entire hole AND fills some text. Value

is too large.

Image Stamping Image stamping inserts information such as time, date, various sequence numbers and job or batch name into the scanned image. The Image Stamping dialog box allows you to place this information at various locations on the front and/or back of the page. The front and back of a page can be configured separately.

Front/Back: Stamp string — click Setup to display the Stamp String Setup dialog box. You can combine one or more items from the list to build a stamp string formula. For more information, see “Building location and filename formulas using the Location Setup dialog box” in the “Setup option for File (1) and File (2)” section earlier in this chapter.

Location: Top or Bottom — places the stamp on the top or bottom of the image as selected.

Location: Left, Middle or Right — places the stamp on the left, middle or right of the image as selected.

Margin — select a margin size in 1/100ths of an inch to indicate how far from the Top, Bottom, Left or Right margin you want the stamp to be placed.

Font size — select the font size of the stamp: 16 or 18 point.

Bold — enable this checkbox for bold print.

Copy front to back — if you want the same setup values on the back as the values you set up on the front, enable this checkbox.
