The software gives every image a sequential number inside its document. One document can contain up to 999999999 images. The software distinguishes between an image coming from the front or rear side of a page. This allows the software to perform side-specific processing (e.g., deletion of blank/rear sides) where appropriate. The software also distinguishes between color, grayscale, and black and white images and can perform color/grayscale versus black and white specific processing. Example: Document 250 contains two double-sided pages and produces an electronic document number 250, which contains four images (1-4). from the Image drop-down list.  If you need to scan the image, click the green Start Scan icon on the OCR window.  For more information, click here.
