Blank page separation setting

The blank page separation setting under the Capture tab on the Job Setup dialog box allows you to set up the software to recognize blank sheets as separators between batches or documents on your scanner.

The size (in bytes) of both the front and rear images of a page must fall below the byte threshold in order for the software to recognize the page as blank. If the software does not recognize a blank page, it will ignore it as a separator.

Image Size (byte) is below - creates blank page separations based on the size (in bytes) of the blank page image. For more information, click hereSpecify a blank image size for each image type (black and white, color, and grayscale) that you will be scanning. 3000 bytes is suggested by default for black and white images.

The image size is checked against the raw, or pure, image coming from the scanner before operations are performed..

Black and White: enter the maximum image size in bytes for black and white.
