The Image Processing options under Advanced Options include:

Auto-DeletionWhen 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 the 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 the 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 the software will consider the image to have too much content. Any image more than this will be deleted.

Image content (%) is Below — this option is similar to the Image size (byte) Below option except that you enter a percentage value that the 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.

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

TheImage 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. - 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 both color/grayscale and black and white image types, auto deletion settings are also set independently. Therefore, you can choose to delete one type of image or both.

Auto-OrientationThis 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 auto-orientation on front or Enable auto-orientation on back.

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

Background color smoothingYou 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 Applyto 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.

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.
- 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.

Image Edge Fill -allows you to fill and clean the edges on a scanned image by covering the area in Black or White (as selected). This option can be applied to the front and back of an image. You may want to use this option if you have pages with punch holes that you want to clean up.


Original: 3-hole punch without Image Edge Fill	Image with 37/100th of an inch which fills half of the hole. Therefore, the value of 37 is not enough.

Image with 62/100th of an inch fills the entire hole and keeps all text. The value of 62 is good.	Image with 150/100th of an inch fills the entire hole AND removes some text. Therefore, the value of 150 is too high.

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.

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

Batches can be processed one by one or together. .

Stitch - merges all images of a document into a single output file. Images must be the same width and all but the last image must be the same length.
