Scanner/Camera - Scanning Preview Window

This Help topic refers to the following editions:

þ Enterprise þProfessional þ Personal þ Small Business

 

The Scanning Preview Window is the interface used when scanning documents into DocuXplorer with the Scanner/Camera menu selection.

 

 In the Scanning Preview Window you can select TWAIN devices, scanning resolution and compression, set up batch scanning and preview of pages after scanning is completed for quality assurance.

 

Use the Scan Preview Window to assure the quality of a scan before saving to DocuXplorer

right-click the Page Preview Image for a menu that allows you to delete pages from the scan and change the display of the Page Preview.

 

Settings

The Settings tab displays basic scanner settings, batch scanning operations and scanner device selection.

 

Use the Advanced Tab of the Scan Preview Window to set up a batch scan, image quality, convert on scan to PDF, and image compression

 

Scan Mode - allows you set the mode for most TWAIN devices. The selection list is populated based on the scanners modes it supports.

Resolution - allows you to select the document scan resolution.

While every effort is made to pass these settings to the scanner’s interface, some scanners will not accept the changes. Always check the scanner’s interface program (TWAIN) to ensure that the settings are the same as in DocuXplorer the first time a document is scanned. If they are different and the settings were changed in DocuXplorer, change the settings in the scanner’s interface to match those set in DocuXplorer. Use this same technique for any future changes to the settings.

 

Transfer Mode - This option can help with scanning performance.

TWSX_NATIVE mode is the default mode. In this mode, the whole image is transferred in a single memory block.   when transferring large images that might encounter memory limitations with Native mode.  

TWSX_FILE / FILE mode is not required by TWAIN specification. In this mode, the image is transferred to a specified file directly. The disk file mode is ideal

TWSX_MEMORY / MEMORY mode is also required by TWAIN, like NATIVE mode. Although this mode is the most complex, Dynamic TWAIN handles the transfer details, making it as simple as NATIVE mode.  

 

Show Scanner Interface - DocuXplorer will display your scanner’s TWAIN interface allowing you to change scanning size and resolution. If checked, the Show Scanner Interface feature will override any settings made in the Scanner Settings portion of this dialog box.

 

Invert Image -  allows images to be inverted (white text on black background) while scanning.

 

Remove Blank Pages - Removes blank pages based on the Whiteness of a page via the Blank Page Tolerance settings

 

Convert to:   After scanning has been completed and before it saved to the database the select DocuXplorer print driver will convert the document. The conversion process supports the DocuXplorer PDF Print Driver or Peernet e-TIFF 9.0 driver. The DocuXplorer PDF Print Driver is the default setting. The Peernet e-TIFF 9.0 driver is 3rd party software not supplied with DocuXplorer. Select the default print driver in Tools | Options | Workstation dialog box.

 

Use Memory Handle - Most scanner work properly with this option checked. if you find your scanner is not working properly you can adjust this setting along with Transfer Mode to find your scanner proper settings.

 

Log Scanner Activity - When checked DX will create a log of the scanners activity for review. Its placed in the DXScanLog under the users TEMP folder

 

Use Select Scanner to choose any scanner or digital camera device attached to the workstation. Only devices with a TWAIN driver will be displayed in the Select Device dialog.

 

Select the scanner to use when adding documents to DocuXplorer

 

Batch Scanning

 

Create a new document every # pages -  if checked DocuXplorer will create a new document after the indicated number of pages has been scanned. This allows you uninterrupted scanning of documents with the same number of pages in a document.

 
Create new document every blank page - this can be used in conjunction with the prior option and creates a new document when every a page has no text on it.
   
Document prefix -  Set the scanned document default file name. newly scanned document are store in the users ..\Temp\DXScan folder until save in DocuXplorer

Tip:

Not all TWAIN devices are able to take advantage of this feature; some devices such as digital cameras and certain scanner TWAIN device drivers do not allow DocuXplorer to override their default settings.

 

Index all scanned documents

When this is option is checked all scanned documents are index by the user once the Save and Close button is selected. When this options is unchecked all scanned documents are imported directly in to the selected folder to be index at another time. The default setting is checked.
