Following is an explanation of each option available on the Blank Page Setup
dialog box.
Blank page separator
option
You can enable or disable the Blank page separator option. To use blank
pages as separator pages, the check box must be checked.
• If disabled, the rest of the options on this dialog box will be disabled.
• If enabled, you must specify the image size in bytes, below which an image
is determined to be a blank page. 3000 bytes is suggested by default. The
maximum image size that can be specified is 200,000 bytes to allow for
blank page separation when color scanning.
IMPORTANT: The size of both the front and rear image of a page must fall
below the byte threshold in order for the page to be determined
as blank. The image size is checked against the raw or pure
image coming from the scanner before any auto-rotation, auto-
crop, and automatic deskew operations are performed.
A blank page can be defined to do one of the following:
• start a new batch
• start a new document (this is the default)
• create an attachment
Batch separation option
To create a new batch with a blank page, enable the Batch separation option.
The blank page will automatically be deleted and the next page scanned
becomes the first page of the first document of the batch.
Document separation
options
• Document separation—to create a new document with a blank page, enable
the Document separation option. This is the default selection when blank
page separation is enabled.
• Delete page—deletes the blank page. The next page scanned becomes the
first page of the document.
Create attachment
options
• Create attachment—to create an attachment with a blank page, enable the
Create attachment option. The page (both front and rear) immediately
following the blank page is the attachment. This option is only valid for one
page. Therefore, you must insert a blank page before every attachment.
NOTE: Use this option, in conjunction with the option
Create a document
every X pages
(Application Setup>Images-Document tab), whenever
there is an occasional attachment to documents of a fixed amount
of pages.
• Delete page and attach next—deletes the blank page and attaches the next
page to the document.
