Filling in the Captured Finger Areas in the Scanned Image of a Book
You can correct a scanned image by filling in fingers that were captured in the scanned image of a book.
The scanned image is corrected right after the document is scanned or after the scanned image is imported into ScanSnap Home.
To fill in the captured finger areas in a scanned image, the fingers need to be detected.
When you scan a book, fingers captured in a scanned image may not be detected in the following cases.
When two or more fingers that are used to hold down a book to be scanned are touching each other (Figure 1)
When you hold down a book to be scanned with manicured fingers or fingers with artificial nails (Figure 2)
When you hold down a book to be scanned with your fingers bent (Figure 3)
When fingers that are used to hold down a book to be scanned are captured 1 cm (0.39 in.) or more (Figure 4)
When there is text or an image within 5 mm (0.2 in.) around the fingers that are used to hold down a book to be scanned (Figure 5)
When a book that has a background color other than white (such as a comic magazine) is scanned (Figure 6)
When a book with [Gray] or [B & W] selected for [Color mode] in the scan settings is scanned
Up to five fingers on each side (top/bottom/right/left) of a scanned image can be filled in.
To prevent image deterioration, select and fill in as many fingers as possible with one operation.
