ICC profiles are standardized data sets defining the colour spaces used by imaging devices. More specifically, they are used to match colour spaces across a chain of imaging devices (such as scanners, monitors, printers, PCs). Use this function to load a (batch and scanner specific) ICC profile, during image processing on the CROSSCAP Scan-Client or the CROSSCAP Enterprise server.

Scanner name

The name of the scanning device (use the name shown in the TWAIN interface or scanner settings). As soon as image data is received from this device, the ICC profile specified below will be loaded.

Profile name

The file name of the ICC profile to be loaded (choose from drop-down list). Beforehand, the file needs to be copied to the default ICC directory on your Windows machine (CROSSCAP Scan-Client or CROSSCAP Enterprise server). On Windows 7 machines e.g., this is C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color.

Switched on

Switches this module on or off. Ticking the checkbox will turn this function on. Removing the checkmark will turn this function off but will preserve all settings, for later use / manual activation.

Image processing on server

Image processing requires substantial amounts of CPU capacity. In order to relieve CROSSCAP Scan-Clients from these tasks and speed up all other processing, image processing functions may be selectively transferred to the CROSSCAP Enterprise server.

If this option is activated (checkbox ticked), then execution of this function will be deferred and processed by the CROSSCAP Enterprise server, later on. Deferred image processing will occur during the pre-process workflow step (see chapter Getting started, section Workflow CROSSCAP Enterprise).

Please note: If any errors occur during image processing on the CROSSCAP Enterprise server, manual indexing (on the CROSSCAP Multi-Client) will be enforced (even if manual indexing was not specified in the project template).

Whenever image processing functions are transferred to the CROSSCAP Enterprise server, we generally recommend to specify separate quality checks and/or manual indexing, since there is no other chance to inspect (and possibly rectify) images processed by the server, prior to finalization.

Also, please take care to treat all interdependent image processing functions the same way, i.e. either run all of them on the CROSSCAP Enterprise server or have all of them processed by the CROSSCAP Scan-Client.
