The following tables describe the options that CaptureNow displays in a scanning profile for a scanning device that uses a Kofax driver.
- Properties
- The Properties tab lists the following options.
- Manual Start
- Allows for a manual start, which requires the user to click the Scan button if present on the device.
- Prompt when feeder becomes empty
- Specifies to prompt the user when the device's document feeder is empty. This option is useful when the user needs to add pages to a batch scan.
- Auto Length Detection
- Detects the page length. This option is helpful when a page is shorter than the size specified for Size.
- Color Mode
- Specifies the color mode to scan images. The available color options vary by scanning device.
- Continuous Sheet
- For scanning pieces of paper larger than legal size.
- Destination
- Specifies where scanned pages output to. This option is only available if the scanning device has more than one destination.
- DPI
- Specifies the Dots Per Inch (DPI). A higher DPI enhances image quality but also uses more storage space.
- Orientation
- Specifies the page orientation as landscape or portrait.
- Scan Start
- Specifies the number of seconds the user can load paper into the scanning device after a scan operation begins. This option only applies when you the user manually feeds pages into the scanner. We recommend 30 seconds. If you set Scan Start to 0, no timeout occurs.
- Sides
- Specifies which sides of a page to scan. You can choose one of the following options:
- Size
- Specifies which paper size to scan.
- Source
- Specifies from where the device feeds the paper. This option is only available if the device has more than one source.
- Flatbed
- If the scanning device includes a flatbed, CaptureNow lists the following options.
- Action
- Specifies the action between flatbed scans. You can choose one of the following options:
- Default
- Specifies which action occurs when the Delay timer expires. This option only applies when you set Action to Delay Between Scans. You can choose one of the following options:
- Delay
- Specifies how long the prompt remains open before CaptureNow performs the Default action. This option only applies when you set Action to Delay Between Scans.
- Prompt to turn on ADF
- Specifies whether to prompt the user to turn on the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF). This option is helpful when the user needs the ability to scan from either the flatbed or the document feeder within one profile.
- Scan from flatbed when feeder is empty
- Specifies whether to initiate flatbed scanning when the document feeder becomes empty.
- Advanced
- The Advanced tab lists the following options.
- Advanced button
- Opens the Advanced Settings dialog box that provides additional options. These options vary by scanning device.
- Calculate Blank Page Deletion
- Indicates that a more advanced comparison will be used to delete blank pages. Useful in the event that Kofax fails to properly set deletion flag when file size is less than the threshold.
- Image Processing Filters
- Allows for scanned images to be manipulated either to improve quality of the incoming image, or to gather data from the image itself.
- Prescan
- Specifies the number of pages for the Kofax accelerator to cache.
- Timeout
- Specifies the number of seconds before the scanning process expires after the last page is scanned.
- Units button
- Opens the Units dialog box where you can specify units of measurement (inches, centimeters, or pixels).
- Options
- The Options tab lists the following options.
- Back Picking Rectangle Enabled
- Specifies picking angle for devices supporting duplex scanning. Required that the current profile have Duplex selected in the Sides field on the Properties tab.
- Blank Page Detection (threshold)
- Indicates if blank page is detected. If the threshold is not met, the scanned image will be discarded. The threshold is the minimum file size (in Kilobytes) that a file must be in order to be retained.
- Front Picking Rectangle Enabled
- Specifies that a picking rectangle will be used within the profile. Picking rectangles retain a portion of the scanned document (as defined through the top, left, width, and height fields). The rest of the image is discarded.
- Height
- Specifies the total height, starting with top measurement.
- Left
- Specifies the distance from the left edge of the original page to being cropping the image.
- Rotation
- Specifies if the scanned page will be rotated. Pages can be rotated in 90 degree increments.
- Top
- Specifies the distance from the top edge of the original page to begin cropping the image.
- Unit
- Indicates the unit of measure for the top, left, width, and height measurements.
- Width
- Specifies the total width of the cropped image, starting with left measurement.
