•Image size is - (bytes): the size of the test image in bytes.
•Content is - %: the percentage of content in the test image.
5. Evaluate the values displayed in the Image size is - (bytes) and/or
Content is - % Test results box.
NOTE: Based on the value displayed in the Test results box you may want
to enter a value slightly lower or slightly higher than the displayed
value depending on the desired output. For example, if your
representative image byte size of blank images is 799 bytes and
almost blank images is 900 bytes, you may want to enter a value of
850 bytes in the Image size is - (bytes) field on the Auto Delete tab.
6. Click OK.
NOTE: During the test image scan, options to Split and Merge will be ignored.
Splitting images is frequently used in forms processing. When scanning folded
forms, you may want them to be split in several smaller images to make forms
registration and verification more reliable. Kodak Capture Pro Software splits
the images, sorts the images, and extracts data from the images in the correct
sequence.
The split occurs only on pages that comply with a minimum and maximum
width expressed in 1/100ths of an inch. The split operation is a vertical split,
meaning that the page is divided into equal left, middle, and right portions (if
splitting three ways). The split occurs after rotation. When scanning large
forms that cannot be scanned in landscape mode because they are wider than
the scanner transport, rotation is required.
Set the Software rotation option on the Image tab of the Page Setup dialog
box depending on how you scan the document.
After the split, odd-numbered images will be considered front images and
even-numbered images will be considered rear images. Because Capture Pro
Software immediately shows the result after merging or splitting, you can test
your page setup and make changes if necessary.
If you are scanning one-sided images (or when you are scanning from the
flatbed), the split will occur only on the front image.
