Removing blank images from a batch

When scanning a batch, you may find blank images that need to be removed. The software lets you remove both back and front blank images from your batch.

To remove blank images from a current batch:

Select Batch>Remove Blank Images. The Remove Blank Images Setup dialog box will be displayed.
Enter the document number in the batch where you want to search for blank images to begin in the Start at document field. The default is the currently active document.
Define the byte-size threshold of the images to be verified in the Show Black and White images below and Show Color/Grayscale images field. A good setting for typical business documents is 3000 bytes in 200 dpi black and white.
Click Check only back sides to remove only the blank back sides of the images in a batch.
Click Pre-select all if all images are candidates for deletion.
Define the number of columns and rows you want to display in the Display layout field. On a 1024 x 768 SVGA screen, a matrix of 14 x 7 allows you to check 98 images per screen.
Click OK to accept the values you entered. After the batch is examined, the software displays all the images that match the criteria you set up (for example, back sides below 5000 bytes). These images are displayed in a red highlight color. All colored images are considered blank and ready to be deleted. The Remove Blank Images window will be displayed.

If no blank images are displayed in the Remove Blank Images window, it means that the software cannot locate images in your batch that match your criteria.
Click Setup on the Remove Blank Images window to reopen the Remove Blank Images Setup dialog box and enter higher threshold numbers (in bytes) for the black and white and/or color/grayscale images.

By default, all the blank images are outlined in red and selected for deletion. Select any blank images you do not want to delete by clicking them individually. The red outline disappears on those images.
Use the First Screen, Previous Screen, Next Screen, and Last Screen buttons to help you navigate through all the possible blank images in the batch.
Click Remove. The message Remove all selected images? will be displayed.
Select Yes to confirm the deletion of the blank images. The software removes the blank images still outlined in red, repaginates the documents, and updates the available batch and hard disk capacity.
