Using the Merge and
Split options
The Page Setup dialog box provides you with the option of merging and
splitting images. Following is a description of each option and how to use it.
Merge
—combines the front and rear image into one image (for instance front
and rear of a check becomes one image). The merge only takes place for
images complying with the minimum and maximum width or minimum and
maximum height expressed in 1/100-inch. Images that do not comply with the
width or height parameters remain untouched. Merge is useful when you need
to see the front and rear (i.e., of a check) in one viewer to verify OCR accuracy
or perform manual data entry. Merge can be done either vertically (front image
on top of rear image) or horizontally (front image and rear image side-by-side).
NOTES: Merging front and rear images is not supported when color or
grayscale scanning.
Merge is not available when scanning with an i50 Scanner or
when scanning simplex with an i60 Scanner or i80 Scanner.
Merge is not available for Capture Software
Lite
for
i50/i60/i80 Scanners.
Split
—converts the front and rear image in two or three images. The
application is related with forms processing where forms are often folded and
need to be split in several smaller images to make forms registration and
verification more reliable. Capture Software also sorts the split images and
extracted data from these images in the correct sequence.
The split occurs only on pages complying with a minimum and maximum size
expressed in 1/100-inch. The split operation is a vertical split, meaning that the
page is divided into equal left, middle, and right portions (if splitting three
ways). The split occurs after rotation, and for large forms that cannot be
scanned in landscape mode because they are greater than 8.5 inches wide,
rotation is required.
