VRS User’s Manual

VRS supports optional color features for some scanners through the Color tab on the 

Advanced Properties dialog box. You can use the Color tab to set up color-related 

features such as Color Dropout and JPEG Compression. The Color tab consists of 

three groups: Front Side Dropout Color, Back Side Dropout Color, and JPEG 

Compression.

In some cases, you may want to remove all instances of one color, such as the 

background color, on a document in order to make the necessary data more accessible 

to OCR engines, etc. One method to effectively “erase” this unwanted color during 

scanning is to use color dropout. If you select a color to “drop out,” your scanner will 

ignore that color, but capture everything else. 

The Front Side Dropout Color and Back Side Dropout Color groups provide the 

following dropout color choices: None, Red, Green, or Blue. The default is None. If a 

scanner supports duplex, you can select different dropout colors for the front and for 

the back side. 

The back side options for color dropout are disabled for some scanners that 

support single-sided scanning only.
