Correcting Skewed Character Strings - Fujitsu ScanSnap iX500 Operator's Manual

Creating Scanned Images Depending on Intended Use (for Windows Users)

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.
ATTENTION
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 scanning the following types of documents.
In that case, clear the [Deskew by text on document] 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
Skewed character strings are not corrected if scanning with the Carrier Sheet.
HINT
You do not have to enable [Deskew by text on document] 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.
