Kodak’s Capture Pro can scan virtually any document that comes across your desk. In this video, we show the software making short work of scanning checks.
Remove the back sides.
The job in this video requires that the checks be scanned with supporting documents, resulting in mixed document sizes. Furthermore, we want to remove the blank images, which are all of the back sides of the larger documents without removing the back side of the check, since there is relevant information on the back of the check.
There are two ways to accomplish this automated removal:
- Byte size: Capture Pro can be set to check the size of the image file and delete it if it falls below a certain threshhold value. This is the typical method for documents of consistent size and type.
- Content: If we have mixed document sizes, a blank scanned image of an 8 1/2×11 sheet of paper might be more than the back of a bank check, even with content on it, so Capture Pro offers content-based blank page removal, too. If there are no pixels of data detected, it will be dropped.
Front and back merging.
If, in your final repository, it would be better to view the front and the back of the scanned bank check, Capture Pro can be set to merge the front and the back into one image, making viewing the endorsement along with the rest of the check very simple. To prevent Capture Pro from merging a larger sheet into a scanned image of a bank check, settings allow you to specify that only images of a certain size be merged.
