PaperStream Capture Getting Started Guide
Licensing
PaperStream Capture Pro requires an active license to use its features. This guide includes
the information that you need to activate a PaperStream Capture Pro license.
You need a working Internet connection to activate or update your product license. The
following information is included:
• Activating a software license
• Activating a license on multiple machines
• Activating a license with no Internet access
• Deactivating a software license
• Using PaperStream Capture without a license
3
Getting Started
You can activate a PaperStream Capture Pro license to use all its features.
Multiple Machines
The administrator can activate a PaperStream Capture Pro license on multiple machines.
Usually they will do a Silent installation from a remote location, which does not display the
progress, features, or warning messages. However, errors will be displayed. See Activating
a License on Multiple Machines for details.
You can purchase a PaperStream Capture Pro license and activate it at a later time in the
following ways:
• Save the license code in a license.txt file located in the install folder. The next time
you start the application and have an Internet connection, the application will
automatically activate the license. Without an Internet connection, the License Utility
will create a license data file that can be used for offline activation.
• Launch the License Utility on the target computer to activate and save the activation
file. The next time you start the application, the license will automatically activate.
• Manually enter the license code in the Activation window. In the Administrator tool,
on the Activate tab, click Activate. Enter the license code in the License Code box
and then click Activate.
4
PaperStream Capture Getting Started Guide
Activating a license on multiple machines is done through a silent installation from a remote
location.
1. Close all applications and ensure that you are logged on as a user with Administrator
rights.
2. In the Command Prompt window, enter the following to run the License Utility on
each machine:
LicenseUtility.exe -s -a -Tw -log="C:\Temp\PSCInst\PSCInst.log"
The command will run silently and perform the activation using the Fujitsu license
server for a workgroup license. A log file will also be created.
Command Description
-a Performs activation.
-d Performs deactivation.
Uses license code file for activation. The default is license.txt, located in
-f
the install folder.
Indicates the license server to access. The default is the Fujitsu license
-svr
server.
5
Getting Started
If you have no Internet access, you can still activate a PaperStream Capture Pro license.
With no Internet access, the License Utility will create a license data file, located in the
install folder. The machine ID will be included in the license data file.
To complete the activity, the administrator must collect all of the license data files from
each machine without an Internet connection and run the License Utility program on a
machine with Internet access.
6
PaperStream Capture Getting Started Guide
If your computer is connected to the Internet and you remove PaperStream Capture Pro,
the license is automatically deactivated.
If a computer is not connected to the Internet and you remove PaperStream Capture Pro, a
deactivation data file is created and stored on the computer. You can use this file on
another Internet connected computer to deactivate the license using the License Utility.
Administrator Tool
In the Administrator tool, on the Activation tab, click Deactivate. The button will change
to Activate.

Batches cannot be released unless incorrect index values are corrected.
43
Using PaperStream Capture
Releasing
Releasing a Batch
Batches are released and saved to the location and format configured on the Destination
tab of the Document Profile panel.
When scanning is complete you can release the document to the specified location. The
batch is released to the predetermined location after it passes through each process as
indicated in the system setup. Batch releases can fail if the destination information is
incorrect.
Scanning, and QC and Indexing are processes in the capture flow. A separate station can be
used to execute each of these processes or they can all be done on one station.
Batch level processing requirements are based on batch profiles. If a batch requires QC, it is
specified in the batch profile. If a batch has indexes, it has to go through indexing. If a
batch has no indexes and no QC requirement is specified in the profile, the batch can be
released after scanning.
TIP In the Batch Manager, a yellow bar at the bottom right indicates if a batch released
failed.
To release a document:

PDF Options

Compression
The character sections and image sections of the scanned image are separated, and the
image sections are compressed in high compression rate. Therefore, for the character-based
documents, the file size can be reduced while the character display quality remains high.
By contrast, this setting is not suited for scanning photos or graphics because the image
display quality is deteriorated due to high compression.
Important When [High Color Compression] is specified, the process may take an
excessively long time because the system is overloaded. When the scanned image is larger
than A3 size, the process may not work correctly.
Select this check box to perform text recognition and save the result as a searchable PDF
file.

PaperStream Capture Getting Started Guide
This check box can be selected only for a PDF file (cannot be selected for a PDF/A file).
Because a password protected PDF file is not supported by PaperStream Capture, use
another application such as Adobe Acrobat to open it after setting a password.
After you select this check box, the Password window appears every time a new PDF file is
saved.
Select this check box to set a fixed password and not to display the Password window.
JPEG Options
Specify the compression rate that is used when the scanned images are saved as a PDF file.
Use the slide bar to specify the compression rate from the five levels (1 to 5). The default
level is 3.
The higher a value is, the higher the compression rate is. And, the file size can be reduced.
This results in the deterioration of image quality.
The lower a value is, the larger the file size is. And, the deterioration of image quality can
be minimized.
This setting is only applied to a color image. When the scanned images are saved as B&W
images, this setting is ignored and the compression setting for B&W is applied.

PaperStream Capture Getting Started Guide
PaperStream Capture supports barcode recognition. You can also perform barcode
recognition on an area of a scanned document and use the recognized character string as
part of the file name.
If barcodes are used to separate documents, you can include the resulting barcode
separation character string as part of the file name.
Use a Document Profile that is configured to use the barcode as part of the file name.

Tip The recommended resolution for an image to be used for barcode recognition is 200 to
600 DPI.
If the barcode scanning speed decreases, limit the barcode types to be detected or narrow
the barcode area to improve the scanning speed.
Notes:
143
Technical Specifications
• If there are multiple barcodes in the barcode detecting area or the QR code is split
vertically or horizontally, it is unknown which barcode is valid. If there are multiple
barcodes, specify the area so that it includes the barcode that needs to be detected.
• If the area for the barcode that needs to be detected is not specified, the detecting
performance for the document in which four or more barcodes of the QR code type
exist might be affected.
• Even if the barcode base color and the barcode color are colors other than white and
black, the barcode may be able to be recognized. To recognize colored barcodes,
adjust the color document scanning settings to ensure that the documents are
recognized correctly before using the barcodes.
• If the recognition result for a two-dimensional code includes an error, enlarge the
barcode or raise the error correction level.
• If a barcode recognition result includes any control codes that cannot be displayed,
those codes are replaced with " " (space) or "_" (underscore). Some control codes
are ignored. When a two-dimensional code recognition result includes a line feed [LF]
and/or a carriage return [CR], those codes are output as is in the index information
file.
• A barcode can be used to divide documents or to provide an index, file name, or
folder name by using text recognition.

Document Text
Documents and text with the following formatting may not be correctly recognized with
Zonal OCR.
Documents
• Document with extremely narrow or wide character spacing and/or line spacing
• Document with uneven color in the background of text
• Document with patterns in the background of the text
• Document with an unsupported language
• Document loaded upside down, sideways, or skewed
• Document with a complicated layout or too much noise (Such documents may
require an excessively long time to be recognized)
• Vertically written document
• Document formatted in columns
Text
• Hand-written text
• Text in small characters (less than 10 points) in a low resolution
• Text in large characters (24 points or higher)
• Superscripts/subscripts, and complicated math expressions
• Text in bold or italic characters, or characters with effects such as shadow and
outline
• Text expanded/condensed in lateral or vertical direction
With the following PaperStream IP driver settings, documents may not be correctly
recognized with Zonal OCR.
• If the image type is monochrome, [Halftone] or [SEE] is selected in [Black & White
Method] for the [Image]
Notes
145
Technical Specifications
• Even when the character string recognized with Zonal OCR is displayed properly on
the screen, it may be recognized as a control code and be output as "_" if "Zonal
OCR" is used for a file name in naming rules or if the character string is output to
index information.
• When this happens, select a language to be used for Zonal OCR with [Regional and
Language Options] in [Control Panel].
• The following resolutions are recommended for images. Resolution higher than 600
DPI cannot be recognized for Color/Gray.
• B&W: 400/600 DPI
• Color/Gray: 200/300 DPI
• The deskew function of the PaperStream IP driver and the orientation correction filter
may improve the recognition rate.
• When the string to be recognized contains only alphanumeric characters and
symbols, recognition error may occur. Changing the language to be recognized into
English facilitates the recognition.
