SING ZONING TEMPLATES
When you want to scan many similar looking documents, it might
be useful to apply zoning templates, instead of editing the
recognition zones each time. In a zoning template you indicate what
your documents look like and where the text, picture or tables zones
are located. This way, Readiris only looks in the indicated areas,
saving you a considerable amount of time.
To create a zoning template:
 Scan the first document.
 Click the Zones tab to edit the zones to your liking.
See Editing the Recognition Zones for more information.
 On the Layout menu, click Save Layout.
To use a zoning template:
 First, deactivate Page Analysis on the Readiris menu >
Preferences > General.
