Advanced Blank Page Suppression

Overview

The Blank Page Suppression feature automatically discards pages that are completely or partially blank during the scanning process. This feature allows you to specify the percentage of white space used for each side of the page or to select the minimum image size a scan page can be for vMedia to consider it to be a non-blank page.

Procedure

  1. On the Image Control window, select the image database and click [Scanning Module].

  2. On the Scanning Module main window, click [Image Control].

  3. The Scanner Image Control dialog box opens. Click [Advanced Scanner Features].

  4. Click [Blank Page Suppression] on the vMedia Advanced Features dialog box.

  5. The Delete Blank Page Threshold dialog box opens.

  • Front Image and Back Image – Same options, different page sides.

  • By Minimum Image Size bytes – If selected, enter the minimum number of bytes per page that will be saved as a scanned image. The number is based on format and resolution. For example, when scanning TIF images at 200 dpi, enter 300 - 400 bytes here. For 300 dpi, enter 1000 - 1200 bytes. You may need to experiment with these values for desired results.

  • By Percentage of White Space - In lieu of image size, set the percent of white space to be used for the different page sides.

  1. When all selections have been made, click [OK].
