The Scanning Preview Window is the interface used when scanning documents into DocuXplorer with the Scanner/Camera menu selection.

 

 In the Scanning Preview Window you can select TWAIN devices, scanning resolution and compression, set up batch scanning and preview of pages after scanning is completed for quality assurance.

 

Use the Scan Preview Window to assure the quality of a scan before saving to DocuXplorer

Right click on the Page Preview Image for a menu that allows you to delete pages from the scan and change the display of the Page Preview.

 

Use Select Device to choose any scanner or digital camera device attached to the workstation. Only devices with a TWAIN driver will be displayed in the Select Device Dialogue.

 

Select the scanner to use when adding documents to DocuXplorer

 

Advanced

The Advanced menu item button brings up an additional section of the screen that will allow you to set scan mode and scanning resolution if the Show Scanner Interface button is left unchecked.

 

Use the Advanced Tab of the Scan Preview Window to set up a batch scan, image quality, convert on scan to PDF, and image compression

 

Scan Mode - allows you set the mode for most TWAIN devices to Black and White, Grayscale 16, Grayscale 256, or True Color 24-bit RGB. If None is selected the device will default to its own settings.

Resolution – allows you to select the document scan resolution.

While every effort is made to pass these settings to the scanner’s interface, some scanners will not accept the changes. Always check the scanner’s interface program (TWAIN) to ensure that the settings are the same as in DocuXplorer the first time a document is scanned. If they are different and the settings were changed in DocuXplorer, change the settings in the scanner’s interface to match those set in DocuXplorer. Use this same technique for any future changes to the settings.

 

Show Scanner Interface - DocuXplorer will display your scanner’s TWAIN interface allowing you to change scanning size and resolution. If checked, the Show Scanner Interface feature will override any settings made in the Scanner Settings portion of this dialogue box.

 

Tip:

The default for this feature is On, you can disable this feature to provide quicker scanning with fewer screens and clicks required to complete the task.

 

Convert to:  - the item defaults to the setting in the Tools/Options/Imaging Processing default dialogue. This box allows you to change from that default for a single scan session. The default will revert when this scan is completed. The default can only be changed in Tools/Options/Image Processing.

 

Note:

The conversion process supports the DocuXplorer PDF Print Driver or Peernet e-TIFF 7.0 driver. The DocuXplorer PDF Print Driver is the default setting. The Peernet e-TIFF 7.0 driver is 3rd party software not supplied with DocuXplorer. Select the default print driver in Tools/Options/Workstation dialogue box.

 

 

Batch Scanning – if checked DocuXplorer will create a new document after the indicated number of pages has been scanned. This allows you uninterrupted scanning of documents with the same number of pages in a document.

 

Scanned Image Compression Options allows you to set the best-case compression for a document.

 

Use the Scan Options Window to set Image Compression

 

By using the Custom Option a user can choose the compression type to use as a default for scanning documents at a workstation.

 

Tip:

Not all TWAIN devices are able to take advantage of this feature; some devices such as digital cameras and certain scanner TWAIN device drivers do not allow DocuXplorer to override their default settings.

 

Scanned Documents

Scanned Documents – is the list of documents scanned in a batch. By highlighting a document on the list and using your right click mouse button you can choose to View or Delete the document from the batch. The right click menu will also allow you to select all documents in the list to delete or refresh the list.

The Scanned Document List can be used to view and delete poor quality scans
