Scanner Integration
The DocView QC desktop application supports direct scanning from Canon and Kodak hardware, allowing operators to add new pages to a batch or replace individual pages without leaving the QC workspace.
Supported Hardware
| Manufacturer | SDK | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Canon | Canon IS/ScannerSDK | Supports single-page and multi-page (ADF) scan modes. |
| Kodak | KODAK Scan SDK | Supports single-page and scan-all modes. |
Scanner Profiles
Scanner profiles are created by an administrator in Admin Setup → Scanner Profiles and define the hardware and scan parameters. On the QC toolbar:
- Select a profile from the Scan Source drop-down.
- Click the profile name button to open the profile editor directly.
- The selected profile is remembered between sessions for each user.
Initialising the Scanner
- Ensure the scanner is powered on and connected.
- Select the correct profile from the Scan Source drop-down.
- Click Select Scanner to open the hardware selection dialog and choose the physical device.
- Click Start Scanner (the button label changes from Select Scanner once a device is selected).
- The scanner is now ready; scan buttons in the toolbar become active.
Scan Operations
| Button | Action |
|---|---|
| Scan Page | Scans a single page from the feeder or flatbed and appends it to the current batch. |
| Scan All | Continuously scans all pages in the ADF and appends them to the batch. |
| Stop | Halts an in-progress scan job. |
| Replace Page | Scans a single page and replaces the currently selected page in the tree view. |
| Import File | Imports an existing image file (TIFF, JPEG, BMP, PDF) as a new page rather than scanning from hardware. |
Scanning is blocked while a batch is being closed or suspended. The system will prompt you to finish scanning first.
Job Profile Settings
When a batch has a Job Profile configured in Batch Setup, the scan toolbar adjusts to match. Tick Apply Profile in the toolbar to lock the scan settings to the profile values:
| Setting | Values |
|---|---|
| Resolution (DPI) | 150 / 200 / 300 / 400 / 600 dpi |
| Rotation | 0° / 90° / 180° / 270° |
| Scan Side | Single-sided / Double-sided (duplex) |
| Compression | None / JPEG / TIFF LZW / TIFF G4 |
| Colour Mode | Black & White / Greyscale / Colour |
| Page Mode | One-page-per-file / Multi-page file (for applicable formats) |
| Drag-and-Drop | Enables or disables tree-view drag-and-drop reordering |
Click Reset Profile to revert the toolbar to the default batch settings if the Apply Profile checkbox is unticked.
Scan Progress
A progress bar appears at the bottom of the workspace during multi-page scan operations. Scanned pages are added to the tree view in real time and thumbnails are generated automatically. The last scanned page is highlighted in the tree view once scanning is complete.
