Auto-Delete tab

The Auto Delete tab allows you to set options for automatically deleting an image. You may ant to delete images with no content, or possibly 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 doing simultaneous scanning of color, grayscale and/or black and white images types, auto deletion settings are also set independently. Therefore, you can choose to delete only the selected image type.

When using Auto Delete, it is recommended that you scan some representative documents which you would want to delete 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.

The Image content (%) is option is not available with Capture Pro Limited Edition.

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 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 the Image size (byte) option, it is important to note that 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 the software to delete any images automatically.

Apply deletion to both images of a side - enable this to delete both the black and white and color/grayscale images.

Delete images after Intelligent QC — select this option if you want to selected Intelligent QC image processing functions to operate on an image before it is deleted. For example, you may want to create a grayscale image from a color image before deleting the color image.
