Extra Features

Sometimes I prefer enabling the Manual Feed Mode from the driver, to make sure the Alaris Kodak i3300 will process older documents safely.

I’ve started indexing through Barcode Recognition for some time now, most often using QR codes. This scanner has Barcode Recognition , but check if it’s optional or standard.

Auto Separation is one of those features I really like playing with. Currently, for Auto Separation I still find patch codes reliable.
