Good classification and extraction in DOCUMENTS depends on good image quality. It is therefore important to get the best possible images coming into DOCUMENTS. We recommend that you tweak image improvement settings on the scanner side, which places less of the image improvement burden on the Enhance activity.
To set the image quality in a scanning specification:
On the tab of the Administration module, expand .
Click .
In the right pane, double-click the appropriate scanner.
Select > .
Select a scanning specification and click .
Select > .
In the box, select how many DPI (dots per inch) to scan.
Tip: ReadSoft recommends 300 DPI for most black-and-white scanning and 150 DPI for grayscale and color scanning.
Important: When scanning in color at 300 DPI, you must limit the batch size to a maximum of 40 pages. Failure to do so causes problems/errors during the Enhance activity.
Under , select the appropriate level. is usually appropriate. See this topic for details.
Under , select the suitable option. (This is not available if is selected under .)
: The setting also affects the file size. The more DPI, the larger the file.
Using your eyes to examine document images is not an effective way of checking image quality. Let DOCUMENTS and its interpretation engines test the results. This can easily be done using in the dialog.
If sending images over a network with limited bandwidth is causing problems, and you reducing image quality is not an option, you can create display images for Production operators.
Using VRS and the scanner's own image-enhancement options can often improve image quality.
