Option name

Description

Barcode Detection

When selecting the Barcode Detection-option KGS Scan will do a software-based barcode detection.

Please note: It’s recommended to only enable barcodes that are being used in your scenarios. The number of enabled barcodes for detection might decrease the overall performance of KGS Scan.

Black Border Removal

When selecting the Black Border Removal-option KGS Scan will look for black borders on the edges of the scanned documents and remove those.

Blank Page Removal

When the option Blank Page Removal has been selected KGS Scan will look for blank pages during the scanning process and remove these.

Color Detection

The Color Detection-option allows KGS Scan to define whether a document should be saved in color mode or as a black and white page.

Enabling this option might help you to reduce the size of the actually saved document.

Deskew

KGS Scan will straighten out images which, for example, were not properly aligned during the feeding/scanning process, when Deskew-option is selected.

Fixed Rotation

You may use this processing option to rotate the image after the scanning process.

Noise Removal

In case you selected the Noise Removal-option KGS Scan will attempt to reduce the optical noise by using software algorithms. This process mainly focuses on removing single unwanted black pixels from the document.

Page Removal

The Page Removal-option allows you to define regular expressions that identity pages with specific barcodes that should be removed during the scanning process.

Please note: This option requires the identification of barcodes on a scanned page.

Remove Punch Holes

When enabling the Remove Punch Holes-option, KGS Scan will try to identify punch holes on scanned documents by using some software algorithms and remove those from the scanned documents.

In addition to the image processing options, you may also be able to open an additional dialogue that allows you to set additional parameters of the selected option in the Selected-list.

You may open the additional option dialogue by clicking on the Configure …-button below the Available-list.

Warn on Duplicates

Checkbox

Using this option will mark any duplicates that appeared on an overview page after each scan and recognition of barcodes on the documents.

This might slow down the scanning process.
