Options - Scanning (SC)

By clicking within the Options-menu on the subsection Scanning you may define the parameters for the scanner like the scan-mode, whether a document should be scanned in B/W, grayscale or color and many things more.

Please note: Whether an option is available to you depends on the scanner you’re using as well as the capabilities supported by the TWAIN-driver.

In case you’re using a hardware scanner the options you may choose from might look similar to the ones within the screenshot.

Scanner Options
Barcodes	Checkbox	In case your scanner/driver supports hardware barcode detection you may tick this box. If ticked the scanner will communicate detected barcodes to KGS Scan.	Ticked / Unticked
Auto Deskew	Checkbox	When your scanner/driver is capable to detect whether scanned documents are skewed you may tick this box in order to rectify the scanned pages.	Ticked / Unticked
Auto Blank Page Removal	Checkbox	If your scanned documents contain blank pages and your scanner/driver is capable to detect those, you may tick this box in order to remove blank pages altogether.	Ticked / Unticked
Auto Rotation	Checkbox	In case you’re scanning pages and want to make sure, that none are sideways or upside down, you may tick this box in order to activate the auto rotation capabilities of your scanner (if those are existing and the driver is capable to do that).	Ticked / Unticked
use TwainUI	Checkbox	When being enabled this will launch the TwainUI-dialogue for each scan process. KGS Scan will apply the results of this user interaction accordingly. This gives you the option to modify local scanner parameters each time before scanning starts.	Ticked / Unticked
Auto Color	Checkbox	If your driver/scanner is capable to automatically detect whether a document needs to be scanned in color mode, grayscale or B/W you may tick this box, if it’s being provided by your scanner.	Ticked / Unticked
