Splitter

The Splitter turns one scanned stack into separate documents. Roz reads every page, marks where each document starts, and leaves out blank pages. You check the marks, then send the documents on.

    Click Splitter in the side bar.

  2. Add the scans

    Click the blue button, for example Split and process 6 documents.
