Advanced Features
The Trūper scanner boasts a broad feature set that complements a robust hardware platform. These
advanced features enhance the scanner's ability to provide clean, crisp images. Kofax VirtualReScan Plus
(VRS 4.0) enables many of these features. Other features are part of the scanner driver.
The following list provides a brief description of some of the more unique advanced features of Trūper.
Additional information about these features can be found in other sections of this or other included
manuals on your Trūper Installation Resource CD-ROM.
Auto Color Detect - This feature automatically identifies color documents from bitonal documents while
scanning is in process. Auto Color Detect helps reduce document preparation of mixed batches that
contain both color and bitonal images. Please refer to the VRS manual on your Trūper Installation
Resource CD-ROM.
Auto Orientation - This feature automatically rotates a page that is scanned in a non-standard orientation.
There is no need to perform manual rotation on each image after scanning. Auto Orientation eliminates the
need to pre-sort batches of documents to ensure they are facing the same direction. Please refer to the
VRS manual on your Trūper Installation Resource CD-ROM.
Bar Code Recognition - This image filter recognizes the bar codes in the scanned images. Refer to the
application’s operating manual for how to use the bar code.
Blank Page Deletion - This feature detects and deletes blank pages based on content. Blank Page
Deletion is intended for batch scanning in Duplex mode. Please refer to the VRS manual on your Trūper
Installation Resource CD-ROM.
Background Saturation - Use this feature when scanning documents with color backgrounds. Saturating
or “smoothing” a document image changes the document background into one uniform color. “Smoothing”
refers to the automated process of creating a fixed, uniform background. This process removes both
scanning and paper non-uniformity and will allow the image to be compressed more effectively. Please
refer to the VRS manual on your Trūper Installation Resource CD-ROM.
Multicolor Dropout - This feature removes specific and multiple colors from an image. Multicolor Dropout
can be used in simplex and duplex scanning with independent colors dropped out on either side. Please
refer to Appendix 2 - Multicolor Dropout (MCD) and Single Color Dropout sections of this manual (starting
on page 134).
Double Feed Recovery - This feature detects the double feeding of documents and allows the operator to
correct the missfed documents without stopping the scanning application. Without Double Feed Recovery,
the scanner operator may have to rescan the entire batch.

Safety Precautions for the
Operating Environment
The Scanner Unit
The following safety precautions and proper handling instructions are recommended for your safety and to
extend the life of the scanner:
Caution
Prior to scanning with the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF), remove all staples and paper clips
from the sheets that you want to scan.
Do not disassemble the scanner.
This will void your warranty.
If there is a need to disassemble the
scanner, please contact an
authorized service provider.
Do not place floppy disks or any
items containing magnetic data strips
on the flatbed. Magnets located in
the flatbed sheet, which is attached
to the flatbed cover, may damage
data stored on floppy disks and
magnetic strips.

Caution
Do not place any liquids near the
scanner. Accidental spillage of liquid
into the scanner may cause severe
damage. If this occurs, turn the
scanner off and unplug the power
cord. Please contact an authorized
service provider.
Do not place books, paper, or other
items on the scanner.
Do not place the scanner in an area
where there is a lot of smoke, dust,
chemical fumes or vibration.

Do not place the scanner on an
uneven or unstable surface.
Do not use the feeder tray or the
flatbed cover as a handle.
At least two people should carry the
scanner. They should lift and hold
the scanner securely with hands
placed under the front and back
sides.
