Correcting Skewed Character Strings - Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500M Operator's Manual

■ 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 in the following procedure.
You do not have to enable [Correct skewed character strings automatically] when [Automatic
detection] is specified for [Paper size] in the [Paper] tab of the ScanSnap setup dialog box
because the skewed image is always corrected when documents are scanned by this setting.

Using the ScanSnap in Various Ways (for Windows Users)
Up to +/-5 degrees of skew can be corrected.
Since this option is performed assuming that the document contains a certain amount of text,
character strings may be adjusted at a wrong angle when the scanning the following types of
documents.
In that case, clear the [Correct skewed character strings automatically] check box:
- Documents on which pitches between lines or characters are extremely narrow, or
characters are overlapped
- Documents with many outlined or decorated characters
- Documents with many photographs or figures and few characters
- Documents with characters on a patterned background
e.g. Characters overlapping illustrations and diagrams
- Documents with characters printed in various directions such as drawings
- Documents with long diagonal lines
- Documents including handwritten characters.
This setting is disabled when you perform a scan using the Carrier Sheet.
