Using VRS with DOCUMENTS
FYI, the DOCUMENTS Installation Guide and SQC refer to this topic by name, so don't change it without updating those documents.
Virtual ReScan (VRS) is an image enhancement tool. VRS can be used with DOCUMENTS to improve the image quality of scanned documents. You can use VRS with its default settings, allow it to automatically enhance images, or use it to make manual enhancements. The DOCUMENTS Installation Guide describes how to install and set up VRS.
When scanning with VRS, the scanning specifications in DOCUMENTS have a property for each of the VRS configuration files:
-
