Properties of a Scan/VRS profile
Use the following tabs to configure the properties of a Scan/VRS profile.
General
Name |
Enter a name for the Scan/VRS profile, such as Customer Onboarding. The name cannot be more than 50 characters. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
Optional. Enter a description for the profile, such as "Use this profile to scan documents related to Customer Onboarding." The description cannot be more than 255 characters. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
Paper size |
Select one of the following preset paper sizes from the list.
In addition to the preset sizes, the list includes the following options:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||
Orientation |
Select the orientation to be Any (default), Portrait, or Landscape. If you select Any, the system can recognize the pages in either orientation. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
Duplex |
Select whether to scan the front side or both sides of the document:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||
Paper source |
Select whether to scan individual or multiple pages:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||
Resolution |
Select the resolution to use. (Default: 300 dpi, minimum: 75dpi, maximum: 2400 dpi) |
||||||||||||||||||||||
Color |
Select a color mode for the scanned image.
If you use "Black and white (Enhanced)" mode, or use "Color" and "Automatic" color modes in conjunction with image (eVRS) processing, we recommend that you do not use dpi higher than 600, as eVRS consumes high memory. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
Image enhancement settings |
If selected, enhances the image, automatically corrects common scanning errors, and then configures the following settings as needed:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||
Allow runtime editing |
To allow editing of the Paper size, Duplex, Resolution, and Color for the MFP Scan forms (Scan create new job and Scan activity) at runtime, ensure that these settings are selected.
|
Advanced
To disable image scaling and color conversion after eVRS processing so that unwanted side effects associated with these operations for images that were ingested from mobile devices can be avoided, configure the eVRS settings for the Scan/VRS profile.
Configure the eVRS settings
- Make sure the Image enhancement settings option on the General tab is selected.
- Click the Advanced tab.
-
By default, the EVRS settings box is empty and does not show any eVRS command strings. Select
EVRS settings only and click
Save in the message.
The following things happen:
-
The eVRS command strings for Resolution, Color, Deskew, Auto crop, Auto rotate, and Delete blank page settings are automatically added to the EVRS settings box along with any eVRS command strings that were already present in the field.
-
The following settings on the General tab are no longer used for image processing, even if they are modified:
-
Deskew, Auto rotate, JPEG compression and Compression quality under Image enhancement settings are disabled.
-
The check boxes for Resolution and Color under Allow runtime editing are cleared. These settings are selected by default.
-
-
eVRS processes images only based on the command strings available in the EVRS Settings box, disregarding any eVRS-related settings on the General tab except for the Delete blank pages.
-
If you make any changes to the generated eVRS command strings manually, or if auto-generated command strings are modified or removed, the changes do not reflect in the General settings tab on saving the scan profile. Similarly, any changes to the settings on the General tab do not reflect the settings in the EVRS Settings box.
-
At runtime, in the Scan Client, all the image processing options are greyed out in the Scan settings screen.
If you clear the check fox for EVRS settings only, all the eVRS command strings in the EVRS settings box are cleared.
-
- Additionally, enter the command strings in the EVRS settings box as needed. See eVRS command string modules.
- Click Save.
Change the sensitivity of a blank page
If you enable the "Image enhancement settings" and "Delete blank page" options on the General tab of a Scan/VRS profile and scan a group of blank and non-blank pages, not all blank pages are removed or non-blank pages are removed correctly. To avoid this issue, you may need to increase or decrease the sensitivity of the blank page.
The following parameters control the detection of sensitivity of blank page:
-
CBlkPage.Min_Count_Edge.Int
-
CBlkPage.Min_Count_Black.Int
These two aspects of "non-blankness" are monitored for the total number of "black" within a block and the total number of "edges" defined as large enough transitions from one pixel to the next.
By default, MIN_COUNT_BLACK is 450 for 300 DPI and is prorated for the area. For example, for 200 dpi it is 450 * 2/3 * 2/3 = 1800 / 9 = 200.
By default, MIN_COUNT_EDGE is 75 for 300 DPI and is also prorated based on the area.
As soon as either of these blocks goes beyond a threshold of black pixels or edges, the page is considered non-blank. You can set these thresholds to control the sensitivity of blank pages.
- Click the Advanced tab of the Scan/VRS profile.
- Select EVRS settings only.
-
In the EVRS settings field, enter the following strings:
_LoadSetting_<PropertyName="CBlkPage.Min_Count_Edge.Int" Value="300" Comment="DEFAULT 75" /> and/or
_LoadSetting_<PropertyName="CBlkPage.Min_Count_Black.Int" Value="500" Comment="DEFAULT 450" />
The XML string contains VRS settings (or properties) that change image enhancement process behavior. At runtime, the system uses these additional settings to enhance the image. Setting these parameters to larger values forces more pages to be considered as blank.
