Resolution (DPI)

The Resolution of the scanner can be set via the Scanner Options in the Settings Dialog. This setting is applied . To change this value click on the Select... button which will display the Resolution Dialog (Figure 1 or Figure 3). Since each scanner varies from the next, the user may see one of two different dialogs when changing the DPI.

The first dialog is for scanners that support a Range of DPI values.

Resolution dialog - This dialog is used to set the DPI for the selected scanner.

To select the Resolution click on the button with the corresponding value. If a different value is desired click the Other... button. This will display the Scanning Resolution dialog (Figure 2). This dialog allows users to configure the resolution to any value within the range supported by the scanner.

The Second dialog (Figure 3) is for scanners that support specific values for the Resolution instead of a range. This dialog shows the exact values available to the selected scanner.

Scan Rotation

LAWtsi allows users to automatically rotate documents when scanning. This is performed on the application-side after the document has been scanned. This can be configured through the Scan Options in the Settings dialog. To change this setting click the Select... button in the Rotate (On Scan) section, this will display the Scan Rotation dialog (Figure 1).

The value of each button is the degree that the document will be rotated when it is scanned.

Image Format

LAWtsi can create either TIFF or JPG files when scanning. This setting can be changed in the Scan Options on the Settings dialog. To do this click on the Select... button in the Save Image Format section which will display the Save File Type dialog (Figure 1).

Save File Type dialog - This dialog is used to set the File Type of documents to be scanned.

Note: When file type is set to JPG, Multi-Page mode cannot be selected because JPG files do not support multiple pages.

Turnover Mode

Turnover mode allows users to scan double-sided document with a scanner that only supports simplex scanning. this setting can be changed on the Scan Setting which is located on the Settings dialog.

The way Turnover Mode works, is that the user first scans the front sides of documents. Then when the document is done scanning, the user flips it over and scans the back sides of the pages.

Turnover Mode button - This button is used to toggle turnover mode on or off.

Page Mode

LAWtsi offers two Page Modes, multi-paged and single paged. This setting can be changed from the Scan Options in the Settings dialog.

Figure 1

Page Modes - These are the two different page modes.

The two different page modes are Multi Page and Single Page.

•Multi Page - When the Multi Page setting is enabled, each page scanned through the scanner will be added to a multi paged document.

•Single Page - When the Single Page setting is enabled, each page that is scanned will be a single document.

Scan with Datasource UI

When the Scan With DataSource UI setting is enabled, LAWtsi will open the TWAIN utility for the selected scanner. This allows users to configure the scanner with various settings (depending on the driver).

There are four different modes that LAWtsi can be set to for the numbering scheme.

•Auto - The Auto increment mode will set the numbering to be automatically incremented based off the last Page-ID added to the database. When this setting is enabled LAWtsi will prompt the user for a starting Page-ID for the first scan within the a new folder.

•Manual - The Manual increment mode will set LAWtsi to prompt the user to input a new starting Page-ID each time a document is scanned. The user will be prompted for a new starting Page-ID if a barcode break is encountered.

•Manual (Auto) - The Manual (Auto) increment mode will prompt the user to input a new starting Page-ID for each document scanned. It will not prompt for a new starting Page-ID if Barcode Break detection is turned on and a new document is encountered (broken up by a barcode break sheet).

•None - If the increment mode is set to none, then the user will not be prompted for a starting Page-ID. This setting will also not increment any existing Page-IDs.
