ScanFlow & MouseFree • Features
Batches are recognized by codes
• Each ScanMate template or drum is coded, so it is recognized by the ScanFlow System as soon
as it is placed in the scanner.
• If the Job Queue contains any jobs with that code, ColorQuartet automatically scans them.
• If no jobs are queued up for the code, the batch is automatically preview-scanned instead.
Save and and access multiple previews
• When the ScanFlow System is activated, you can save any number of preview scans to disk.
Each coded template or drum is automatically given its own preview address.
• Cropping and scan setup can be done from any workstation in the network, and the same pre-
view can be accessed simultaneously from multiple workstations.
• When a job is ready for scanning, you send it to the Job Queue, which is visible from all the
workstations in the system. The job can then be scanned whenever desired.
Pause and resume scanning
• Scanning of the images on a template or drum can be interrupted at any time to preview or
scan any other template or drum.
• Since the scanning parameters for all the images are saved on disk until they are scanned,
scanning of the first set of images can be resumed afterwards with no loss of data. This flexibil-
ity makes it easy to accomodate your daily work flow to rush jobs and changing priorities.
Automatic previewing and scanning modes
• In Auto Previews mode, each new batch of images is preview-scanned automatically when the
template or drum is placed in the scanner and the lid is closed (flatbed scanners) or the Resume
button in the CQscan window is clicked (drum scanners). The operator then crops each image
in the batch, sets the desired scan parameters, and sends the scans to the Job Queue. Cropping
and setup can be done manually or semi-automatically.
• The fully automatic MouseFree mode can be used with ScanMate flatbed scanners. Preview-
ing, cropping, image adjustment (according to a designated standard setup) and scanning are
all carried out as soon as any recognizable template is placed in the scanner and the lid is
closed.
