Feature Summary
Exceptional Quality Images
Consistently high-quality images for faster, lower-cost operations
Powerful automatic image clean up
The combination of iDTC & Advanced Cleanup Technology maximises image quality by removing background noise and enhancing black and white characters. The result is optimised file sizes for faster, lower-cost storage and access.
Automatic image correction
Features such as auto-rotation, auto de-skew/auto crop, blank page detection and automatic front-side detection for passports & ID cards, combine to deliver the ideal image.
Hole punch removal and edge repair
Hole-punches are filled in – in both colour and black and white – and rough document edges are corrected with small tears removed.
Maximise Digitisation Efficiency
Cut digitisation costs through better processing
Advanced Cleanup Technology
Removal of noise, stains, watermarks and red stamps means highest data accuracy for OCR processing
AssistedScan
Visual results-based profile reconfiguration minimises need to rescan, even for on-the-fly scanning requirements
MRZ recognition functionality
For all PaperStream Capture family applications
Simple Operation
Easy to implement, easy to operate for immediate productivity
Step-by-step profile creation
Intuitive admin menus and interfaces save time creating scanning profiles.
Assisted Scan
Visual, results based interface means quick profile configuration without the need to learn and manipulate advanced driver settings.
