Relative to Document

: (zone processing): (used for batches of 

same-sized documents) — zone processing is a floating fixed crop 
window (the zone) located relative to the upper left corner of a 
document. It allows you to select an area on the document to be 
delivered in either color/grayscale or black and white format (a 
separate window for both black and white and color/grayscale may 
be defined). Different parameters may be selected for both the front 
and back of the image.

This option may be used in conjunction with Automatic cropping 
where a separate color/grayscale or black and white area to be 
saved is desired. It is useful in applications where a photograph, 
signature, embossment or seal appears in a consistent area for an 
application (you may want that small area in color/grayscale and the 
rest in black and white). To define a zone, select the Layout tab. 

Binarization

 — these

 

options work on grayscale images and outputs a 

black and white electronic image. Their strength lies in the ability to 
separate the foreground information from the background information 
even when the background color or shading varies, and the foreground 
information varies in color quality and darkness. Different types of 
documents may be scanned using the same image processing 
parameters and results in excellent scanned images.

iThresholding:

 allows the scanner to dynamically evaluate each 

document to determine the optimal threshold value to produce the 
highest quality image. This allows scanning of mixed document sets 
with varying quality (i.e., faint text, shaded backgrounds, color 
backgrounds) to be scanned using a single setting thus reducing the 
need for document sorting.

 

When using iThresholding, only Contrast 

can be adjusted.

Fixed Processing (FP):

 used for black and white and other high 

contrast documents. 

Adaptive Thresholding (ATP):

 separates the foreground 

information in an image (i.e., text, graphics, lines, etc.) from the 
background information (i.e., white or non-white paper background).  

Threshold 

— changes the amount of white in the color and grayscale 

image. Use the slider to select a value from 0 to 255. The default is 90.

Contrast 

 

 adjusts the difference between black and white, thereby 

making an image sharper or softer. 

The difference between black and white is small with a low contrast 
setting, so the image is softer. With a high contrast setting, the 
difference between black and white is large, so the image is clearer. 
Select a contrast value from 

-50 

to

 50

. The default is 0.
