Watchdoc ScanCare - Configure Treatments

Delete Blank Pages function

Principle

The Delete Blank Pages function detects blank pages and removes them from the scanned document. Thus, you can use duplex scanning for documents printed on one or both sides without saving unwanted blank pages.

Procedure

To configure the function  :

  1. start the Watchdoc ScanCare configuration program;

  2. select an existing scan profile or create one ;

  3. go to the Processing section;

  4. tick the Delete blank pages box and then click on the Preferences button;

     

  5. In the Preferences box, complete the following settings

    • Maximum percentage of white pixels: tick this box and specify the percentage of white pixels detected in the page to consider that a page is white. Our recommendation: 99.98%;

    • Margin: tick this box to ignore margins when evaluating white pixels. The default margin is 1/14th on each side for width and 1/14th for height.

  6. click on the Test settings button to check the effect of the configuration:

    • select a document containing printed pages and blank pages and click on the Open button;

    • in the test interface, the pages are presented as thumbnails on the left and in detail on the right;

    • if you don't want to see the blank pages, tick the Remove pages box;

    • click on the Test button to start the test:

      • If the Margin function is activated, the margin is displayed in the details of the page being tested;

      • if the Delete pages function is enabled, only the printed pages are displayed;

      • if the Delete pages function is deactivated, each page detected as a blank page is marked with a green tick;

  7. Once the settings have been refined and tested, confirm them by clicking the OK button.
