Scanner settings

You can open this dialog either with the “Scanner” menu and the menu item “Settings with profile” or via the “Profile scan” section with the “Profile settings” option.

 

 

Figure: Dialog field “Scanner settings”

 

These scanner settings do not correspond to the manufacturer-specific configuration dialogs for the respective scanner. You can access these dialogs through the “Driver settings” menu item in the “Scanner” menu.

 

 

The following settings are available to you here:

 

Scanners found

All detected scanners are listed here.

Select a scanner with a double-click.

 

Scan profiles

All scanner profiles of the selected scanner are shown here. Select a scanner profile with a double-click.

 

Orientation

This way scanned documents can be automatically rotated before being saved as a TIFF file.

 

Feed setting

ADF: If a scanner has a tray and automatic document feed (ADF), you can preset the document feed here with the ADF option.

 

AutoScan: This speeds up the scanning process, since the scanner’s internal memory is also used.

 

Duplex: Scans the front and back page.

Do not save if back page smaller than ... bytes.

The value entered here prevents a blank back page from being stored. This lets you import single-sided and double-sided documents in a stack together. This function is deactivated when the “0” value is entered.

 

Quality

 

All values entered under “Quality” are saved with the Update command.

 

Color depth

You can choose from the following values (depending on the active scanner):

 

  1 = black/white

  8 = gray levels

24 = color

 

By saving with the Update command, the values for color and color depth are synchronized automatically.

Color

You can choose from the following values (depending on the active scanner):

 

BW = black/white

GRAY = gray levels

RGB = color

 

By saving with the Update command, the values for color and color depth are synchronized automatically.

Brightness

Enter a value for the brightness setting while scanning here. If the field is inactive, the active scanner doesn’t offer this setting.

 

Contrast

Enter a value for the contrast level while scanning here. If the field is inactive, the active scanner doesn’t offer this setting.

 

XResolution

Horizontal DPI solution at which the scanning should be performed (Recommendation for barcode recognition: 300 dpi or higher)

 

YResolution

Vertical DPI solution at which the scanning should be performed (Recommendation for barcode recognition: 300 dpi or higher)

 

Format

 

 

File format

Information about the saved file format. The PROXESS Scan Client only supports the TIFF image format. That is why this field is inactive and only used for information purposes.

 

Compression

CCITT4 = recognized compression standard for TIFF files. This field is inactive and only used for information purposes.

 

Save

With the Save command, all applied settings for the active scanner are stored in the scanner profile.

 

Clear

The highlighted scanner profile is deleted with the Clear command.

 

Scan

Execute a preview scan with the Scan command. This option is expedient for testing the applied settings. The scanned documents are not imported into the PROXESS Scan Client yet.

 

Find BC

With the Find BC command, the barcode recognition is tested with the current settings. You will receive a message about which barcode was recognized.

Close

Close lets you exit the dialog box without saving your entries.
