Describing the layout of the document
Before starting recognition you are requested to describe the layout
of the incoming pages to assist the auto-zoning process. When you
do automatic processing, auto-zoning always runs unless you
specify a template that does not contain a process zone or
background. When you do manual processing, auto-zoning
sometimes runs. See online Help: When does auto-zoning run? Here are
your input description choices:
Automatic
Choose this to let the program make all auto-zoning
decisions. It decides whether text is in columns or not,
whether an item is a graphic or text to be recognized and
whether to place tables or not.
Single column, no table
Choose this setting if your pages contain only one column of
text and no table. Business letters or pages from a book are
normally like this.
