The Barcode Recognition Service and Image Enhancement Service turn your eCopy-enabled MFP device into a multi-processing task master with automatic file splitting, naming, indexing and image clean up.

Hands-free batch scanning, barcode recognition, background color removal and extensive image clean-up are now available with the Barcode Recognition and Image Enhancement Services for eCopy ShareScan 4.2 and all of your eCopy Quick Connect and other Connector solutions. Add intelligence, eliminate errors and decrease time at the device!

The Barcode Recognition Service

Use barcodes for fast and hands-free scanning with automated splitting, naming, routing and indexing of batch scanned files. Administrators pre-define all settings using eCopy profiles for a simple user experience. It is simple, accurate and efficient!

Split and name files Scans are automatically split at every barcode and named using pre-defined rules that can include multiple barcodes, date, time and/or page count.

Route files to a Windows folder Files can be automatically sent to a Windows directory that is named using barcode data; if the folder does not exist, it will be created on the fly.

Output to XML and CSV files Barcode information is easily output to an XML format or CSV file for importing to backend systems.

Capture index information A defined group of index fields, Client ID, Matter and Billing Codes, can use barcodes for publishing directly to supported connectors.*

Please go to the Barcode Recognition Service for eCopy for more detailed information.

Image Enhancement Service

Create clear and usable images on the fly using a sophisticated set of image enhancement features that are more commonly found in production scanning equipment. Options include background color and half-tone removal, straighten, remove grid lines, crop, thicken, thin and much more. All image clean-up selections run automatically while scanning.

Please go to the Image Enhancement Service for eCopy for more information.

Open Archive Service Workflow

Below is an example showing the workflow with the Open Archive Service for eCopy. You'll notice that barcode recognition and image enhancement work with other connectors for wide market application

Scan Validator

The Scan Validator, a desktop application included with the Open Archive Service, validates barcodes and image clean up settings. This is a very handy and easy to use utility that helps administrators define the settings for optimum results or demonstrate the features of the Open Archive Service.

Barcode Verification As shown in the example below, the Scan Validator highlights all of the pages where barcodes are recognized. The barcode data is also read and presented in the task bar.

Image Clean Up Settings The Scan Validator is an easy way to test image clean-up settings. Users can open an image, select various settings and immediately see the impact of these settings. This is especially useful when using clarify (color or half-tone removal) and thicken or thin. These settings can then be transferred to the Image Enhancement Service for processing with eCopy.
