New Features in Version 7
Primary Features Included
Scanner Support
- Provides complete control over all high-speed ISIS®-driven scanners that EMC Corporation's ISIS PixTools supports.
- Scan directly to memory.
- Resolution can range from 50 dots-per-inch (dpi) to 2400 dpi or more depending on scanner capability.
- Automatic feeder, printer/endorsers, and transparency units are supported.
- Interfaces with SCSI, USB, serial port, video, parallel port, GPIB, and proprietary interfaces.
- Access performance scanners from Canon, Agfa, BancTec, Bell & Howell, Epson, Fujitsu, Hewlett-Packard, Inotec, Kodak, Microtek, Minolta, Panasonic, Ricoh, Sharp, and Umax.
Compression & File Formats
- Compress to standard document image file formats:
- TIFF (Raw, Packbits, Binary CCITT Group 3, Binary CCITT Group 3 Modified, Binary CCITT Group 4)
- Color and grayscale JPEG (24-bit sequential and 8-bit gray sequential).
- DCX
-
For .NET, output to:
- Add on ImagXpress™ for decompression, conversion, or display of the file formats listed above plus support for many additional file formats.
- Add on PDF Xpress™ for PDF support.
Advanced Tags
The component supports Advanced Tags, which offers developers great flexibility in utilizing scanner specific features. These are scanner processing instructions which are provided as parameters passed as tag values to the control, and consequently passed directly through to the scanner. Assuming the correct tags are passed to the scanner, they will instruct the scanner what actions to take.
Multi-Streaming Support
- Take full advantage of scanners supporting MultiStream technology with Duplex or Multi-Streaming:
- Duplex - Scans both front and back simultaneously.
- MultiStreaming - Scans two images from the same side.
- Combine both by using duplex with multi-streaming and capture four images with two on the front and two from the back.
- Scanning modes could include full-color, black-and-white, grayscale, binary or RGB color dropout.
Image Viewing, Annotation, & Printing
Add on ImagXpress for image viewing, thumbnail image support, document image processing and editing, TWAIN scanning, annotation, printing and more.
Bitonal Image Cleanup
Add on ScanFix Xpress® for advanced bitonal image cleanup technology such as dot shading removal, line removal, character smoothing, inverse text correction, hole punch removal, deskew, despeckle, rotate, mirror, flip and more.
