Image Capture Plus

Panasonic has launched a new software for its professional scanner range which can create searchable PDF files with full OCR and automate output to network storage or even email clients. The software, called Image Capture Plus, transfers scanned image data to a PC in the form of user-selectable files including PDFA and OCR PDFs. The user interface also enables users to re-order scanned pages (visually move pages around and delete them from within a document) using thumbnail images. It also allows them to customise these features before scanning to save time and simplify processes.

Intuitive Operation

Image Capture plus offers users a number of intuitive features including:

Automatic Image Orientation No more worries about the document's direction. Even when documents are set in different directions, this function detects the direction of the scanned text in documents and automatically rotates it into the correct direction.

Smooth Background No more fuzzy backgrounds. The Smooth Background function analyzes images while scanning for background color content, and outputs the images with the background color solidified. This increases viewing clarity and reduces JPEG output file size.

Dynamic Threshold  Excellent readability and accuracy. With the Dynamic Threshold function, the background density and color are automatically detected section by section, and the scan setting (brightness control) is automatically adjusted to ensure sharp scanning of both text and images.

Blank Page Removal  You can convert only the desired pages into electronic form. When scanning a set of documents that contains both single-sided and double-sided sheets, this function automatically skips over the blank sides. It saves you time and trouble by eliminating the need to sort the sheets beforehand or remove the blank data after scanning. It also helps reduce wasted memory space in your computer.

Auto Crop  No more scan mistakes or time-consuming trimming. Different sized documents can be scanned each according to its own size. This raises work efficiency by preventing size setting mistakes and eliminating the need to later crop scans to the desired size.
