Kodak A-61580 manual Dropout tab, Color Dropout, Blank Image Detection

Page 90

Dropout tab	The Dropout tab displays the Image Mode, Mode and Toggle Patch
	information that was previously described. Refer to the section entitled
	“Main tab” earlier in this chapter for descriptions.

Color Dropout	Color dropout is used to eliminate a form's background so that only the
	entered data is included in the electronic image (i.e. remove the form's
	lines and boxes). For black and white images, these settings effect the
	grayscale version of the document which the scanner analyzes to
	produce that electronic image. You can select a Red, Green or Blue
	dropout color.
	Background Value: allows you to select the grayscale value to replace
	the dropped color with. It is suggested that this value be higher than the
	Threshold value selected on the Adjustments tab in order for the
	dropped color to appear to be part of the background. The values range
	from 0 to 255. Default: 245.
	Threshold Value: allows you to adjust how the scanner identifies the
	color to be dropped. The values range from 0 to 255. Default: 175.
	Enhanced Processing — enable or disable this option to achieve the
	highest read rate for your production OCR processing. The default is
	Enabled. For example, if you enable Enhanced Processing and
	achieve an 87% read rate, and achieve a 93% read rate with this option
	disabled, then you would disable this option. Compare these
	percentages with identical image processing parameters and the same
	document samples.
Blank Image Detection	Use the slider bar to select the minimum image size that the scanner
	will consider to be non-blank. Any image that is less than this value will
	be considered blank and will not be given to the scanning application.
	The values range from 1 to 1000 KB (1 KB equals 1024 bytes). You
	must specify a blank image size for each image type (Black and White,
	Grayscale, and Color) you want to delete. The default is None, which
	means you keep all images.
