Sample Images

Sample images are images that have been assigned to a particular document class or the Pre-Classification Processing stage. They are primarily used to preview and fine-tune the configuration of processes and image enhancements. It is not necessary to customize sample images, but they can help you optimize your session without having to scan a large number of test images.

A sample image should represent the average image that will be processed in the document class, particularly for image properties such as resolution, paper size, and color depth. Sample images that are too different from the documents scanned can result in errors: for example, if the sample image has a different resolution from the documents scanned in the session, the incorrect portion of the scanned images may be processed.

Different sample images can be assigned to different pages within the document class. A sample image can be designated the default sample image, which will make it the image displayed unless a process is specifically associated with another page. Items under Page Processing and Storage Processing can be performed on any or all pages of the document. The sample image displayed during process configuration depends on which pages the process is assigned to.

Quick Fields comes with a default sample image: a Laserfiche invoice. You can use this to test processes and image enhancements, but for best results, it is better to add and modify custom sample images that represent the documents you plan to scan.
