■Correcting Skewed Character Strings
When documents with skewed character strings are scanned, the ScanSnap is able to detect
the skewed character strings and correct them.
To correct skewed character strings, change the settings by following the procedure below.
1. Select [Settings] from the ScanSnap Manager menu.
Refer to "ScanSnap Manager Menu" (page 170) for more information about the
ScanSnap Manager menu.
DThe ScanSnap setup window appears.
2. Click the [Option] button in the [Scanning] tab.
DThe [Read mode option] window appears.
Up to +/-5 degrees of skew can be corrected.
This function corrects a skew based on the character string printed on the document, so the
following types of documents may get corrected by mistake even though they do not have any
skewed character strings:
zDocuments on which pitches between lines or characters are extremely narrow, or characters
are overlapped
zDocuments with many outlined or decorated characters
zDocuments with many photographs or figures and few characters
zDocuments with characters on a patterned background
e.g. Characters overlapping illustrations and diagrams
zDocuments with characters printed in various directions such as drawings
zDocuments with long diagonal lines
zDocuments including handwritten characters
When you scan such documents, clear the [Correct skewed character strings automatically]
checkbox.
For documents skewed while being scanned, you do not have to enable [Correct skewed
character strings automatically] because the skewed image is always corrected in such cases.
