Installation guide

3. Click Save or Save current profile as to select or specify the profile name in the Save Profile
window.
4. Click Save. The system saves your settings as part of the Service profile, or creates a new profile.
5. After creating a Service profile you must associate it with a Connector profile to enable the service
functionality to be used by the Connector (see Associating a service profile with a Connector
profile).
5.2.4 - Image Enhancement settings
Use the Image Enhancement tab to configure the settings that you want to apply to the scanned
documents.
5.2.4.1 - Image Enhancement Tab
Option Description
Convert to B&W Converts color or grayscale images to black-and-white. This option opens the Black and white and Thicken or thin settings.
l Auto threshold: Automatically defines threshold.
l Manual threshold: The value us between 0 and 255. The default value is 50.
Note: Higher values can cause the image to be darker. The exact value that you need depends on the paper and ink on the page, and on the
scanner brightness setting.
Black and white
The Black and white option allows you to remove as follows:
l Smooth characters: Smoothes the edges of text. This improves the image's appearance and reduces the file size. It removes small bumps
and pits on the edges of characters. This option improves Optical Character Recognition (OCR) accuracy, improves legibility, and reduces
storage needs.
l Remove halftones: Black-and-white scanned images use dithering (often called "dot shading") to simulate shades of gray. This option
removes areas of dot shading, including black-on-white shading. Use this feature to change a TIFF file from grayscale to black and white.
l Remove lines: Removes all vertical and horizontal lines detected by the service. This can be useful when preparing the document for OCR.
l Despeckle: Removes speckles that are smaller than the pixel size defined in the Size in pixels field. This feature removes speckles that are
not touching anything else in the image. It allows you to remove very large speckles without harming text. However, if you select a speckle
size that is too large, you can unintentionally remove small text and sequences of periods, called "dot leaders," from images.
Note: Because these operations cannot be undone, it is recommended that you initially specify a small speckle size.
Thicken or thin Enhances scanned images that use too low a contrast threshold or too light a background. If scanned files are too light or too dark, the service
enables you to thicken or thin the image:
l None
l Thin: Looks at every black pixel in the original image and removes one pixel around it. This makes single pixels "thin" into small dots.
l Thicken: Looks at every black pixel in the original image and then adds one additional pixel around it in every direction (horizontal, vertical,
and along both diagonals). This makes single pixels "grow" into small dots, expanding the borders of text characters.
