Client station unresponsive

Incorrect color mode detection

When the Color or Black & White profile is selected for use with the Scan with Preview feature, the color mode detection is incorrect the first time you select a black and white image and open it in the Kofax VRS Interactive Viewer. As a result, the black and white image is detected as a color image.

Close the Kofax VRS Interactive Viewer and then open it again while the same black and white image is selected.

Error with QC Later feature

When Kofax VRS is used with a Kodak i5650V/i5250V scanner in a Kofax Capture 11 environment, an error appears if a Brightness Out of Range exception occurs while QC Later mode is selected.

Change the Adjust Quality mode to On Warnings, instead of QC Later. As a result, an error does not occur if a Brightness Out of Range exception occurs, and the affected page appears in the Kofax VRS Interactive Viewer for adjustments.
