Scanning via Image Modules
The scanning process will vary slightly, depending on whether you are using a Twain or a Kofax interface on your workstation.
Setting Scan Parameters
Scanning with Kofax |
|
|
Before scanning, click the Set scan parameters button to set parameters such as the resolution. You can save the scan parameters for various templates and retrieve them later from a list of saved scan settings.
|
Scanning with Twain |
|
|
Use the Select scanner button to select the Twain source. Scan parameters can be set in your scanner's 'Settings' dialog. Optionally and analogous to scanning with Kofax, you can install a component at your workstation that enables you to save set scan parameters for various templates and retrieve them later from a list of saved scan settings. These components are not supported by all TWAIN scanners.

|
The insert options can be used to configure the order in which document pages are combined to create a document. The delete options allow you to define whether to a confirmation dialog will be shown when a user is deleting a page. Click the Options button to open the Insert/delete options window.
If you tick the Obtain confirmation before inserting checkbox, a dialog will open after you have scanned or imported pages in which you indicate the position of new pages.
The Sort back pages option enables you to sort front and back pages scanned with a single-sided scanner. |
|
Begin by scanning the front sides (F1 to F3), leaving the last page active, then turn the over stack of paper and use the Sort back pages option to scan the back sides (R3 to R1). The pages will be sorted as shown in the diagram below.
|
|
In the Page changes area, you can specify whether to automatically apply the changes made to pages by rotating them when switching to another page or to open a confirmation dialog. If you select PDF format as the filing format, the images in all documents of this document type will be managed in PDF format. There are a number of restrictions associated with using this format: Annotations on layers are only available when displayed in the image module. For all other actions, for example, when sending or exporting an image document in PDF format, the PDF file without any annotations will be used. The image module also prints the PDF file, requiring considerably more time and resources than printing out a PDF file managed via the W-module. |
Scanning
Scanning with Kofax |
|
|
Press Scan to start the scanner. The added page will be scanned. The scanned page will then be shown. You can scan more than one page one by one. They will be attached to each other as specified in the insert options. If you use a scanner with automatic page feed, all added pages will be scanned.
|
Scanning with Twain |
|
|
Start the Twain scanner using the Scan button. The 'Settings' dialog of the scanner will now open. In this dialog, set up and confirm the settings. The inserted page will be scanned and displayed. |
Checking Scans

|
You can go to the first, previous, next, or last page in a multi-page document. Press and hold Ctrl+Shift to move a selected page within the document. |
|
Rotate the current page 90º clockwise or counter-clockwise. |
|
Zooms in on or out of the document in the display window. |
|
Adjusts the document view to the width of the display window. |
|
Adjusts the size of the document display to fit in the display window. |
|
Activates zoom mode. If you drag a rectangle while pressing the mouse button, its content will be enlarged to fill the window. |
|
Activates move mode. Hold down the mouse button to reposition the document on the screen. |
|
Activates selection mode. Press and hold the mouse button, select an image area, and copy the area to the clipboard by pressing Ctrl+C. Form there you can copy the area into external applications. Disable the selection in order to insert image data from the clipboard by pressing Ctrl+V. The position of the selected area can be copied to the clipboard by pressing Alt+C. This data can be used in enaio® capture for field configuration. You can duplicate the current image by pressing Ctrl+V if you did not select any area. To insert only parts of the image as a new page to the document or to partly replace the current page, select an area and paste it by pressing Ctrl+V. This feature is similar to the crop feature provided by graphic applications. |
|
Activates OCR mode (see 'Optical Character Recognition'). |
|
This button inverts the image colors. |

|
Basic settings
Here, you can configure basic window settings (see 'Document Display Window'). |
|
Dock
In docking mode, if you rotate or zoom in on a document page, all the other document pages will be rotated or zoomed, too. |
|
Page preview Shows/hides the page preview. The page preview displays thumbnails (preview images) on the left margin of the display window. Drag the area to increase its width and to see several thumbnails at a time. |
Importing Image Files
|
Import
You can import images. Images must be available as TIFF, JPEG, BMP, PCX, or TARGA files. They will be converted to the module's file format. Color images that you, for example, import into the black-and-white module will be converted into black-and-white images. |
You can only import images requiring less than half of the available memory when uncompressed.
|
Delete pages
You can delete scanned pages from a document. In the Insert/delete options dialog, you can decide which pages you want to delete and whether a confirmation dialog will be shown when deleting them. |
|
Move pages
The page order within the document can be changed. Select an image and then press and hold Ctrl+Shift. Now move the image using the arrow buttons by one position forward or backward and to the end or beginning of the document. Use the LEFT and RIGHT arrow keys to move the pages backward or forward by one position. |
|
File document
Click File document. The document will be filed to the folder, register, or filing tray. |
|
Exit
Click Exit or Close on the title bar of the scan window. |
You can find further shortcuts in the following section: 'Key assignment for image view:'.
Image document types can be indexed page by page in multi-fields (see 'Multi-Fields').
Batch Scan
The image modules allow you to also scan and import multiple images, distribute them to different documents, and then assign the documents to a document type and index them. All documents created using this batch scan function will be assigned the same location (a folder or the filing tray).

|
The Scan button can be found in the Folder and Filing Tray menu tab. |
Select the module first: grayscale, black-and-white, or color. The module will open.
Unlike when capturing single documents, a list will appear to the right of the window during batch scans. All batches created from the individual scanned or imported pages will be listed there.
Once you have scanned or imported pages, a batch containing all pages is created.

- Select one or more pages in the page preview area.
The selected pages will appear with a blue border in the preview area.
-
Click New document.
The selected objects will be merged as a batch to create a document. The batch will be added to the list.
If you have not selected any pages, you can merge pages by browsing to the page with which a new document is designated to start and clicking New document. All pages, from the current one to the last page, will be merged into a new batch.
You can use select the matching entry in the context menu of a batch to delete it. If you select more than one batch in the list, you can also merge them into one batch via the context menu.

- Select a batch from the list.
The pages assigned to the batch will be displayed.
-
Click File to.
The document types assigned to the module will be listed.
- Choose the required document type.
The index data form will open.
- Index the document.
- Save the document.
-
Close the scan window.
Refresh the view if the new document does not appear yet in the list.
