Note
: Although higher-quality images occupy more disk space, their size does not affect the
application speed, due to the database internal architecture.
The color scheme setup and dpi do not affect the application data detection accuracy.
The color scheme controls allow you to select a color scheme that ranges from black &
white to true color (24 bit). The resulting estimated file size is indicated below the
selection radio buttons.
Note
: The Barcode modules cannot save the images in true color because these modules scan the
images in gray scale & 600 DPI for faster performance.
IMAGE FILE SETTINGS
DPI
: The dpi (dot per inch) value sets the resolution of the scanned image. In Scanshell.net
you can select any of 55 values (50-600 in increments of 10). This gives you the flexibility
of finding the best balance between image quality and reasonable image file size. 50 dpi
provides very low quality; 600 dpi provides very high quality. 300 dpi is the default option.
Note that using higher dpi values will take up more hard drive space.
File Type
: The file type field sets the image format that will be used by the application to
save the images internally.
When using the JPG format you can set the JPG quality.
