VRS 4.1 Professional and Trūper
A Feature Bundle That Saves You A Bundle

Trūper provides both high quality image enhancement and increased productivity through VRS 4.1 Professional. Trūper is the only scanner in its segment that bundles VRS 4.1 as a standard scanner feature.

Clean Images – VRS 4.1

Ensuring that your images are of the best quality possible at the point of capture is critical to the rest of the document management process.  Good image quality will significantly impact the success of data extraction, recognition, and retrieval.  VRS and Trūper help you say goodbye to the “garbage in, garbage out” dilemma. 

The technology in VRS actually straightens and cleans your scanned images through automatic crop and deskew.  This makes for a big improvement in the accuracy of your optical character recognition (OCR) and handwriting recognition (ICR) software.  Plus, noisy backgrounds are suppressed resulting in smaller image files that don't take all day to pop up on your screen or transmit over your network.

VRS 4.1 Professional - Features That Enhance Scanning

In addition to delivering improved image enhancement.  By upgrading to VRS 4.1 Professional, you can take advantage of features that improve scanning efficiency. These features dramatically reduce document preparation and ongoing file storage requirements.

The advanced functionality that VRS 4.1 Professional provides includes:

• Content-Based “Auto Rotation” – The Auto Rotation feature electronically rotates the image based on its textual content (90, 180 or 270 degree for Latin characters and form layouts) so that it can be read right-side up by the scanner operator. Auto Rotation can thereby increase scanning speed by 20% on average by allowing documents with content in portrait orientation to be scanned in landscape mode. The time needed for document preparation is also dramatically reduced.
• Blank Page Deletion or “Auto Duplex” – Blank Page Deletion automatically eliminates blank pages when scanning in duplex output mode. This algorithm determines when a page is not blank based on the detection of a single 9-point character – not based on file size which can be problematic, especially with color images. Any image with even a single character is kept, and those without any characters or other data are discarded automatically. Blank Page Detection thereby can dramatically reduce files size and storage requirements by deleting images having no data. In addition, Blank Page Detection also reduces document preparation, as operators scan both simplex and duplex documents in the same batch, eliminating the need to make any manual duplex/simplex setting changes.
• New Graphical User Interface (GUI) – Those familiar with the VRS graphical user interface previous to VRS 4.1 Professional will notice that this new interface mimics the look and feel of Windows XP. In addition, all the tabs are located on the right side of the screen for easier access. General “control panel” settings, such as active brightness, contrast, deskew ON/OFF, cropping ON/OFF functions, are shown at all times on the bottom status toolbar. Advanced settings can be found when users click on the tool icon (hammer and screwdriver).
• Auto Color Detect (software) – “Color when you want it, bitonal when you don’t,” is what this feature delivers. Auto Color Detect works based on the ability of VRS to automatically detect even small amounts of color mixed in with bitonal documents. In most applications, approximately 5-10% of the total number of documents contain important color information. Now, with Auto Color Detect, you no longer have to scan everything in color, scan only color documents separately, or use patch code separator sheets to capture these in color. This saves an enormous amount of document preparation time and effort.
• Color Background Saturation and Dropout – With Color Background Saturation, you can save up to 40% in file space and increase image quality when scanning documents with color backgrounds. VRS does this by saturating or “smoothing” document image backgrounds into one uniform background. Users can also choose Background Color Dropout to turn a document’s background to white so that it is essentially dropped out. While it will not save you as much in file size as Saturation, Color Background Dropout will help increase legibility on difficult images.

Without exception, VRS 4.1 Professional improves your workflow and reduces the total time needed to scan even the largest volumes of mixed batch documents.  Taken together, the benefits of Trūper's VRS 4.1 Professional bundle translate into real and measurable savings - fewer manual steps, reduced storage requirements and less operator intervention.
