Duplex
When using a duplex scanner - a scanner that can scan both the front and the back side of documents - the
Duplex scanning option is available. Select this option to have Readiris scan the front and back side of
documents.
Fast Binarization (Readiris Corporate only)
When you are using a high-speed scanner it is recommended to activate Fast Binarization. This option
increases the processing speed considerably.
Tip: avoid selecting this option when scanning very low-quality documents.
Scanning batches of documents
(This section applies to Readiris Corporate only)
If you need to scan entire batches of documents you can use Readiris' Watched Folder feature.
This way, you can scan all your documents to specific folders that are being monitored by Readiris.
Whenever Readiris spots a new document inside one of the Watched Folders, it processes it and exports it
to a destination of your choice: in an output folder, in the Cloud or on an FTP server.
Readiris supports up to 63 Watched Folders. Each watched folder can have a specific configuration. One
watched folder configuration can for instance generate Compressed PDF documents and export them to
Therefore. Another can generate RTF documents and export them to Google Drive, where they can be
edited. While yet another one can also send documents to a different instance of Google Drive, using
different credentials (user name and password) and settings (output folder, etc.).
Important notes:
 When using a Readiris Watched Folder, it is not possible to use Readiris as scanning application at
the same time.
 When you already have documents open in Readiris, the Watched Folder option is unavailable.
Either process or delete the documents to access the Watched Folder option.
To set up a Watched Folder configuration:
 Click the down arrow beneath the From File button.
 Then click Watched Folder.
Note that the Watched Folder option is only available when no documents are opened in Readiris.
In the Watched Folder window, you need to define the following settings:
 Set up a new watched configuration.
 Click the corresponding button.
