Image Processing Features

Auto-Deskew, Auto-Crop, Auto-Rotate
Align scanned images for a professional finish.
Blank Page Removal

Scanned blank pages can be automatically detected and removed, reducing file size and document preparation time.
Dynamic Threshold
When images and text are difficult to read due to colour density, the Dynamic Threshold tool lightens or darkens images as required; for sharp, clear and easy to read documents. The levels of light and dark tones can be adjusted as necessary to improve readability. 
Despeckle
When original documents have marks and ink blots, the intelligent image enhancement tool helps create a sharp and crisp image.
Background Processing
Smooth and remove unwanted colours, creases or shadows from the scan.
Edge Fill, Edge Clean Up
Removing unwanted edging produces clean page borders without scanning shadows.
Punch Hole Removal
Produce clean page borders by removing punch hole marks from the scanned image. Our intuitive fill function can also colour match the document background.
Colour Dropout
Remove red, green or blue singular and background colours for sharper, easy to read text or to prevent bleed through.
Auto Colour Detect
With Auto Colour Detect, the scanner eliminates the need to pre-sort batched documents or use separator sheets. Storage space is significantly lessened and the time needed to pre-sort documents is reduced.
Multi stream
Colour images can be saved into mono and greyscale versions, as well as colour, for multi copy use.
