Scanner Profile (Node Type)

STUB	This article is a stub. It contains minimal information on the topic and should be expanded.

scanner Scanner Profiles store configuration settings for operating a document scanner. Scanner Profiles provide users operating the Scan Viewer in the Review activity a quick way to select pre-saved scanner configurations.

ISIS and TWAIN drivers are supported. The scanner's driver must be installed before Grooper can connect to it through a Scanner Profile. Optionally, you may attach an IP Profile to a Scanner Profile for custom image cleanup of images. If the scanner has its own image processing software, you should disable it to fully take advantage of Grooper's IP Profiles.

You may also create, edit and delete Scanner Profiles from Scan activity step in a Batch Process if the Enable Profile Editing and Enable Profile Management properties are enabled.

Glossary

Batch Process: settings Batch Process nodes are crucial components in Grooper's architecture. A Batch Process is the step-by-step processing instructions given to a inventory_2 Batch. Each step is comprised of a "Code Activity" or a Review activity. Code Activities are automated by Activity Processing services. Review activities are executed by human operators in the Grooper user interface.

• Batch Processes by themselves do nothing. Instead, they execute edit_document Batch Process Steps which are added as children nodes.
• A Batch Process is often referred to as simply a "process".

IP Profile: perm_media IP Profiles are a step-by-step list of image processing operations (IP Commands). They are used for several image processing related operations, but primarily for:

1. Permanently enhancing an image during the Image Processing activity (usually to get rid of defects in a scanned image, such as skewing or borders).
2. Cleaning up an image in-memory during the Recognize activity without altering the image to improve OCR accuracy.
3. Computer vision operations that collect layout data (table line locations, OMR checkboxes, barcode value and more) utilized in data extraction.
