Section 3: Basic Document Processing
Processing documents with Readiris is fairly straightforward when using a basic configuration. In this
section we discuss which steps to take when doing such a basic configuration. For detailed information
about all the configuration steps, see sections 4 to 10.
Step 1: Scan, Open or Drag-and-Drop your images
In order to scan paper documents your scanner must be correctly configured. See the section Configuring
your scanner if necessary.
Click Scan to scan paper documents with your scanner.
A preview window opens and displays your scanner settings. With TWAIN scanners, these settings
differ from one scanner to another.
Select Color and 300 DPI as preferences to obtain optimal results.
Select the Page Analysis Options of your choice:
Page Analysis is selected by default. This option divides your documents into recognition
zones. Without recognition zones, Readiris cannot process your documents. If you choose to
disable this function, you will need to draw recognition zones manually on your documents.
Readiris can deskew (straighten) documents and rotate them by means of Page
orientation detection.
When your scanner generates black borders around your documents, or when your
documents contain information that is partially cut from the page, Readiris tends to create
recognition zones on the borders of the document, even though they do not contain any
useful content. In such cases it is recommended to use the option Ignore border zones.

Click File to open existing image files.
Select the Page Analysis Options of your choice.
