Noise Reduction Unwanted black speckles or splotches in a scanned document are
referred to as noise. Noise Reduction improves image clarity by
removing black spots, dust, or voids in white areas. Choose a noise
reduction level in the
Noise Reduction drop-down list box. The default
is “None.”
The more noise in a scanned image, the larger the compressed file
size. Also, if images are being produced for an OCR system (a system
that can read text from an image produced by a scanner), too much
noise may lessen the reliability and read rate of the OCR system.
While choosing the larger matrix decreases large noise, commas (,) or
decimal points (.) may disappear as well.
Noise Reduction is valid only
in Binary mode. Using Noise Reduction is not recommended when
using a Dither setting.
