Intelligent QC tab

The Intelligent QC tab of the Page Setup dialog box allows you to set up these image processing functions during image capture:

  • Auto-Orientation - analyzes the content of your documents and orients each document so it is right-reading. You can select Orient Front, which orients the front side of a page or Orient Back, which orients the back side of a page.

  • Binarize - converts color or grayscale images to black and white. Your scanner must be setup to scan color or grayscale.  While scanning, the image will be converted to black and white and checked for noise.  If excessive noise is detected the image will be flagged and you will have an opportunity post-scan to adjust the image to enhance the desired content.  

  • Contrast – sets the contrast for each image. If your document set contains images with faint text or colored / dark backgrounds then you may wish to increase the contrast.  If your documents are light weight paper and content on the back side is visible on the front then decreasing the contrast may produce better results. In many cases a contrast of 0 will produce the best result.

  • Keep all images – by default, only the flagged color or grayscale images will remain in the batch with the black and white images and only these images may be modified post scan. Select this box if you want  to keep all the color or grayscale images so that you can modify any image sent from the scanner, whether they are flagged or not.

When using a Kodak Scanner or Alaris Scanner with Thresholding - Intelligent QC enabled, the grayscale image will only be available for those images identified by the scanner as containing excessive noise.

Selecting Keep all images will not result in auto deleted images being kept.

If you do not want to keep the color or grayscale images after output, then only select the Black and White checkbox on the Output tab of Job Setup.

  • Create Grayscale from Color - creates a grayscale image for every color image sent from the scanner. Both the color and grayscale image will be added to the batch. There is no configuration required.

  • Hole fill - will fill round or rectangular holes found near the edge of the page. The scanner background must be black. You can select Fill Front, which fills holes found on the front side of a page, or Fill Back, which fills holes found on the back side of a page.

  • Auto Crop - crops the scanned image to remove the background border that may appear at the end of the image. It is recommended that you use the Auto crop feature of your scanner if available. There is no configuration required.

  • Deskew - corrects the minor rotation or skew of an image. When selected, Auto crop will be automatically selected. There is no configuration required.
