VRS User’s Manual

With VRS, you can ensure that every scanned image meets your quality standards. 

While VRS is designed to make production scanning easier and more cost-effective, 

VRS also provides the same advantages for all types of scanning situations. Through 

instant detection of poor image quality, VRS performs automatic image 

enhancements that greatly reduce errors related to image quality or recognition. You 

can be certain that every scanned image meets your standards, as VRS provides a set 

of interactive adjustment controls to eliminate guesswork with easy, real-time image 

correction.

The VRS standard feature set does the following:

• Scans batches that consist of multiple document sizes or varying degrees of 

quality. This means you won't have to pre-sort mixed batches. For black 

background scanners, VRS will deskew images and crop them to the size of 

the original documents.

• Detects and alerts you to paper jams and equipment conflicts automatically. 

This saves time and increases post-processing accuracy.

• Performs automatic deskew without character degradation. Traditional 

deskew software produces jagged edges, but VRS character edges remain 

smooth and precise, even after the deskew process, as shown in Figure 1-1.

Because the VRS standard feature set has been optimized for bitonal output, it also 

does the following:

• Automatically assigns brightness settings that are optimal for your document 

type. For batch scans in which Optical Character Recognition (OCR) precision 

is crucial, low-contrast documents traditionally pose significant problems. 

With VRS, you are able to enhance faint content, which can result in improved 

OCR results, even at low resolutions (such as 200 DPI).

• Suppresses any background or noise to yield smaller image file sizes during 

image optimization, thus reducing storage requirements.
