Colortrac’s SmartWorks Pro software family of touchscreen-enabled products are designed to use the features of the SmartLF scanner family.

The optional SmartWorks Pro package is available in three separate versions, allowing customers to choose the relevant components and pricing for their main business. The variants are Scan (scan only, $650), Copier (copy only, $650), Scan & Copy (scan to file and copy simultaneously, $1200).

The products benefit from Scan Once technology, allowing adjustments to the scanned image to be done on screen prior to filing or printing, without the need for re-scanning the documents many times.

Historically, the normal method of creating a cleaned image from a document with a poor image is to change the threshold level between light and dark areas and this has required multiple scans to achieve the corrected and balanced image.  Using the Scan Once and the 2D Intelligent Adaptive Thresholding (IAT) features in SmartWorks Pro, a more advanced thresholding algorithm is used while scanning to separate black from white and is continually altered in response to the background darkness.  The touch screen can be used to alter the threshold level.
