Encrypt temporary Web Scanner images

You can configure Transact to encrypt the images that are stored on your local machine. A check box called Encrypt Temporary Images is available in the Scanner Profiles configuration screen. By default, this field is cleared. If you select this check box, the system will encrypt the display images uploaded from the Web Scanner to the local machine.

To configure this property, do the following:

  1. Navigate to the Scanner Profiles configuration screen:

    Login > Batch Class Management > Select a Batch Class > Scanner Profiles.

  2. Scroll to the right side of the page to find the Encrypt Temporary Images option.

Depending on the options you select, the following happens:

  • If you select the Local Storage option but clear Encrypt Temporary Images, the display images will be stored on your local machine without encryption.

  • If you select both Local Storage and Encrypt Temporary Images, the display images stored on your local computer will be encrypted. You will still be able to view the images on the Web Scanner screen in the browser and images in the corresponding temp subfolder on the local machine will be encrypted.

    If you try to open any encrypted image from the local computer, you will receive the following message, "We can't open this file."

Once scanning starts, the value of the encryption property will remain the same until the current batch is finished. Changing the Scanner Profile with a batch in progress will not affect the current batch. The changes will take effect only with a newly created batch instance. This is done to ensure the integrity of images and to make sure that batch processing remains consistent.
