Capture / Import

This topic describes the user interface, navigation, and functionality of the Capture/Import module. A valid capture profile is required to import and process documents through a configured workflow.

The Capture module performs the core work of physically and logically connecting local scan stations to the scanner and/or file systems. The connection is used to capture images and convert them to electronic format. Device profiles are used to define specific setup options for different scanner devices (such as simplex/duplex, double feed detection) and file system capture methods (such as import, auto-import).

Bar codes and patch codes are read by the Capture module to distinguish between the end of one document and the beginning of another. In addition, bar code values can also be configured to automatically populate index fields.

The Capture module can also perform image cleanup with image processing. Cleanup can include removing black hole punch marks, deskewing or rotating the image, removing extraneous specks that can appear on the image (called despeckle within the program), cropping, and more. The Capture module groups enhanced TIFF images together to be used in the next step of the Capture workflow.
