The Scan Station module is usually associated with the document scanning process. In this component, there is the possibility of recognition of documents stored in a folder, by specifying the file for recognition or by enabling the recognition directly from the scanner.

• Viewing images - Allows the visualization of full-size images, to ensure quality control, and in portrait mode, to validate the number of pages per document.

• Scanner setup - Allows the configuration of all the settings related to the scanner.

• Document division - Allows the division of documents, becoming relevant in situations in which the pages are sent to the Review Station and, even though are part of the same batch, belong to a different set of applications.

• Automatic document separation -- Allows, at the time of the scanning, recognition of barcodes and separators, for automatic document separation. The use of barcodes also allows to automatically classify the documents.

Scan Station allows to set specific configurations when importing files. The most common usage is by defining settings and saving them as scanner profile.

Select the workspace you want to configure and select From Scanner, this will allow to configure a new profile.

1. Select the Scanner that will be used as input.

2. Set if you want to use Ignore Blank Pages or Enable separation

3. Check in the separator Pages Color if you need to change the color format that will be used when scanning. By default, it is set to convert all images to binary (Black and white).

The conversion settings can be used to improve scanning results, like remove color patterns or improve the text quality.

4. In the separator Page Processing, it is available a set of options that allow a more granular configuration.

• Page Orientation: is set to use the scanner result, but it is also possible to use a model to rotate the document automatically or to manually set a rotation.

• Auto Deskew: helps to align text.

• Clean Black Borders: will remove black lines or areas that are common when digitalizing documents.

• Auto Invert: If a document contains large portions of white text on black background this will invert the document to make it readable for OCR.

• Auto Crop: It will remove automatically black region around the text.

• Text Thickness: allows to thicken the text for readability.

• Noise Removal: Remove noise in the document, when set to small sensibility can remove text or features that may be important to the document.

5. Save Settings to a Scanner Profile will save the configurations in the local machine and make it available in the list of profiles.

Select the scanner profile and do Start Scanning. The documents will be imported, converted and displayed in the View area. From here it is possible to do additional editions on the Edit separator.

Finally Send the documents for processing by selecting the separator Send and then the button Send All.
