Cropping values

Cropping allows you to capture a portion of the document being

 

scanned. You can define the cropping area by the x and y offset values,

 

width and length. All cropping options can be used with color and

 

bi-tonal images and are front/rear and dual stream independent. Only

 

one cropping option can be assigned per image.

 

Cropping select one of the following options:

 

Automatic: dynamically adjusts the cropping window for different

 

document sizes based upon the edges of the image. Use this option

 

for batches of mixed-size documents.

 

Aggressive: selecting this option will eliminate any residual black

 

border on any image edges. In order to achieve this, there is a

 

possibility that a small amount of image data may be lost.

 

Fixed to Transport: (used for batches of same-sized documents)

 

allows you to define the area or zone to be imaged. If you select this

 

option, enter the x and y offset values, width and length. You can

 

enter the desired values in the fields or use the arrow keys to define

 

the desired area. The Display window will show image placement as

 

you change the values.

 

Relative to Document (zone processing): (used for batches of

 

same-size documents) some applications have a requirement to

 

store part of an image in color/grayscale and the rest of the image in

 

bi-tonal format (this saves storage space by not storing the entire

 

image in color/grayscale). Zone processing is a floating fixed crop

 

window (the zone) located relative to the upper left corner of a

 

document. It allows you to select an area on the document to be

 

delivered in either color/grayscale or bi-tonal format (a separate

 

window for both bi-tonal and color/grayscale may be defined).

 

Different parameters may be selected for both the front and rear of

 

the image.

 

This option may be used in conjunction with auto cropping where a

 

separate color/grayscale or bi-tonal area to be saved is desired. It is

 

very useful in applications where a photograph, signature,

 

embossment or seal appears in a consistent area for an application

 

(you may want that small area in color/grayscale and the rest in

 

bi-tonal).

 

Enter the x and y offset which defines the upper left corner of the

 

zone relative to the upper left corner of the desired document. Enter

 

the length and width of the zone to be captured.
