Verifying Card Information
Scan-ID has a powerful proofing tool called the Card Verifier that enables you to easily proofread
information in the scanned database. The verifier highlights the portion of the card image where the field
information is extracted. It works in 3 modes: Normal, Cursor or Off. A tick beside a mode indicates the
current mode. Choose the mode by selecting the Proofing option from the main menu. Choose a mode
by clicking on it to select it.
Normal Mode - The Verifier highlights the image section when you double click on the text data in a field.
Cursor Mode - The Verifier automatically highlights the image section in any field where the cursor is
placed.
Off Mode - Disables the Verifier.
Setting Zoom Percentage
When using the Card Verifier, the line in the card image corresponding to the current highlighted word in a
record field is displayed at the selected zoom magnification. The default is Zoom 100%. To see the
highlighted line in the card image displayed at a lesser magnification, choose a smaller zoom percentage
in the Proofing Menu.
