Support of HP® devices

Drivve | Image 8.4 does support HP® devices. 

Please make sure to check the latest version of the system requirements Drivve | Image Version 7 + 8 to identify supported models.

TLS 1.2 support

Drivve | Image 8.4 does support TLS v 1.2 for applicable devices. 

• Canon ScanFront series: Support for the original size AUTOLONG has been added.
• Input / field type ODBC query: Full support for HFSQL-DB ODBC sources added.
• SPL: The windows system file “thumbs.db” will be ignored in a monitored folder, regardless of the profile setup.

• Licensing: Licenses of different tickets for the same module and with same number of licenses did not properly sum up (example: 2 different tickets for 10 SPT licenses entered for the same installation resulted in 10 available licenses instead of 20).

• Device Manager: Canon ScanFront 400 devices could not be added explicitly, the UI kept switching back to

• Universal data source: Changes to an existing data source did not get saved. To apply changes, the data source had to be recreated.

• Scan job: Under certain circumstances the internal housekeeping function might have deleted an active job’s meta file.

• Scan Job: When getting multi page documents as multiple single pages from a device, the merge function did not delete the first original file (=first page) of the original file stack after merging. Under certain circumstances this could prevent collecting of new input from monitored folders (SPL).

• Processing / Convert files: Updating to 8.2.95 activates the 'RC4 128' encryption option for PDF conversion.

• Processing / Image Processing: If you set a fixed rotation degree for a profile, the setting cannot be reverted to 0.

• Processing / Zonal-OCR: The I.R.I.S. engine might have returned wrong values if Auto-Rotation was performed on the document.

• Processing / Convert files: Updated PDF/A conversion profiles might have created PDF format instead.

• Processing / Bates numbering: Stamp position was calculated before Auto-Rotation, so stamps where misplaced on rotated documents.

• Output: If no file name has been defined, the output file name was empty (instead of defaulting to a generated GUID).

• Output / Route: Routing from UDL profiles did not work under certain circumstances because of invalid license checks.

• Output / Email: The option to split the output into several mails based on file size did no longer work.

The following errors have been solved in the current version:

• FTP Output: Setting a custom port for FTP output did not work
• File Output: OCR Text recognized as belonging into a table structure may not have been added to the complete documents OCR result (e.g. when creating the separate txt file for OCR text within file output)
• Email Output: Variable <Device Name> could not be used as part of a dynamic email address.
• SPL / UDL licensing: Wrong warnings about low number of remaining monthly pages may have been issued.
• Processing / Convert files: A custom defined profile name cannot be saved, it will convert back to default (e.g. "PDF")
• Device Management: If you tried to add a device by entering the host name, the connect button stays disabled. You had to use the device's IP address. (Using the IP address is still recommended, if manageable).
• Processing / Image Processing / Border Crop: The setting had no effect, except for b/w images if "Auto color detection" was not activated.
• Processing / Image Processing / Auto Rotate: Under certain circumstances the activation for the Auto Rotate option has been ignored.
• Processing / Convert Files / PDF (A): The UI crashed and the configuration program was closed when you tried to open the conversion profile's preferences.
• Processing / Convert Files / PDF (A):The resulting document was not properly marked up as PDF/A.
• Processing / Convert Files / any single page picture format: The actual result was always a single page TIF.
• Processing / Convert files / TIF / Preferences: The change of the compression method "Auto" could not be saved.
• Translation: "Edit authentication options" was not translated.
• Image Processing: If blank page deletion and deletion of the separation page was selected for a profile processing duplex scans, the first document page was deleted in case the backside of the separation sheet was empty.
• Enhanced information in case licenses had to be reassigned after online update to an enhanced feature release version (e.g. update from 8.0 to 8.2)
• Options / Profile / Print preference: You can now select the preferred method for PDF printing per profile (Foxit, Adobe Acrobat, internal)

Support of Ricoh® devices

Drivve | Image now supports Ricoh® devices. All SOP-enabled Ricoh® devices are supported. If a device does not feature a Ricoh®  Smart Operation Panel, please check if there is an optional upgrade available for your model, so the Ricoh SmartSDK, successor of SDK Type-J (SDK/J), Web API and the WebBrowserNX can be made available for the seamless integration of Drivve | Image.

House keeping for backup files

The option to turn on backup creation for scanned documents in Tools/Options/Advanced has been supplemented by a configurable housekeeping.

By opening the configuration of the backup option, you can now set a time for the housekeeping, a file age or size threshold and whether the documents should be permanently deleted or moved to the recycle bin.

Configurable authentication method for file output

As known from other output connectors, the option to use a Windows account other than the Drivve | Image service account or prefer / always use the logged on user's credentials for the file upload has been implemented.

Simplified device registration

An automatic detection mode for the device manufacturer has been added to the device management.

Conversion to secured PDF

An admin password (for unrestricted access) can now either be configured to be set at the device panel or be defined for the profile.

In addition a limited access password can be defined for the profile, as well as which functions can be accessed with this password.

E-Mail output via Exchange Server

An option to try a "Send as" submission of the mail has been implemented, in case no user credentials are available.

Barcode Recognition

An option has been implemented to limit the barcode recognition to front sides only for duplex scans.

An option has been implemented to automatically vary various settings in case the expected number of barcodes has not been found with the defined settings. Accordingly the settings to erode / dilate and retry will only take effect, if the expected number of barcodes has not been found on the unoptimized document.

An option "duplex" has been added to the barcode recognition test mode.

Server Processing Licenses / Universal Device Licenses

To enable the use of duplex-scan specific image processing  (e.g. for barcode or separation page recognition) on documents, that do not origin from an integrated device,  an option Duplex Mode has been implemented for SPL / UDL profiles at Options / Profile Preferences / UDL/SPL. If this option is set, the profile will treat all documents as if they have been scanned in duplex mode. 

Image Processing

Advanced settings for despeckle have been implemented.

Xerox

An original size setting has been implemented for Xerox devices as an alternative to using Xerox templates. 

Lexmark

• Options/Scanner Preferences/Lexmark/Default: The Lexmark options Auto and Mixed have been added to the list of predefined original size settings.
  
  

Toshiba

• Tools/Device Management: Added support for automatic installation of the Drivve | Image app on new Toshiba devices.
  
  

SharePoint

• The preload process of SharePoint objects has been optimized to facilitate faster connection to large libraries.

The following errors have been solved in the current version:

• Processing/Image Processing: The Auto Rotate setting was ignored, if it was the only feature activated for image processing.
• Processing/Image Processing: Under certain circumstances, Deskew in combination with Conversion to a PDF Format with I.R.I.S. as conversion engine, the resulting pages might have been created with different page formats for pages with hand written annotations.
• Processing/Bates Numbering: The bates stamp was not properly inserted into documents when a searchable PDF format was selected for the output.
• Processing/Bates Numbering: Some variables did not get resolved as expected when being used as prefix for the bates stamp.
• Processing/Barcode Recognition: Under certain circumstances barcodes with colored background were only recognized on PDF documents when using a precise recognition zone.
• Processing/Barcode Recognition: If a recognition zone was defined, the barcode recognition was not properly limited to the defined zone. This did also affect separation by barcodes.
• Processing/Barcode Recognition: Invalid characters in a recognized barcode, that would violate the XML standard, broke the DI process.
• Processing/Barcode separation: Under certain circumstances, the recognized separation barcode of a page has incorrectly be passed onto the next page's metadata.
• Processing/Barcode separation: In duplex mode, the option "delete separation page" only deleted the actual page containing the separation barcode. In duplex mode the expected behavior is that the following page is getting deleted too (deletion of the separation sheet).
• Processing/Separation by blank page: In duplex mode documents might have been separated if an uneven page was empty, though the following page did contain content. In duplex mode the expected behavior is that only empty sheets (=both sides empty) do trigger separation.
• Output/Other/Print: The printing of documents might not have worked if the installed PDF reader was Acrobat Reader DC.
• Output/File Output/ROUTE: Route output did not work if the source as well as the target profiles were UDL profiles.
• Options/Profile Preferences/Email notification: The variables referring to filename and filepath have not been properly resolved for the notification mail text.
• Output/Email: The output to Gmail was broken
• Output/Email: If no name was defined for a recipient, the recipients mail address was extended by < >.
• Output/OneDrive: Under certain circumstances, connecting with the logged on user was not possible, if the user domain is a fixed part of the template URL.
• Output/OneDrive: Root couldn't be selected as target directory.
• Output/Route: If route was defined as output for a profile without active file output, a copy of each output was stored below ...\Drivve\Drivve Image\DefaultOutput
• Options/Printer/Scan&Print: Activating Scan&Print might have invoked 2 copies being printed instead of one.
• Server Processing Licenses: If the file name of an input file exceeded a certain length, the processing failed without explicit notice. A clearer message has been included in the logs, in case the total length of processing paths & file name exceeds the restriction of the Microsoft API.
• If orphaned files (the image file without the metadata file or vice versa), or files created for a profile that has been deleted in the meantime, where found in ...\Drivve\Drivve Image\work\tmp, the Drivve Image process stopped.
• Print profiles: Under certain circumstances print profiles were no longer shown, if no user was logged on to the device.
• Datasource/LDAP: It was possible to save a datasource with authentication type Secure(Kerberos) without actually providing user credentials.
• Lexmark: The Android app did not properly register on some newer framework 5/6 devices. 
• Lexmark: The option "print after scan" could not be suppressed from the device ui.

Server Processing Licenses

• Too many subfolders prevented proper file monitoring of a  profile's root folder.  A Warning was implemented in the log to point out if too many subfolders do exist.
• You can check available pages per month and pages still available for the current month by selecting a SPL monitored folder in device management
• If the Drivve | Image services are stopped while documents are still scheduled for processing, the scheduled documents in the internal Drivve | Image working folder will be processed first after restart of the services. Therefore no new documents will be moved from the monitored folder before the formerly scheduled documents have been processed. This will prevent a flooding of the internal processing lists in case of multiple restarts in short order while the monitored folder contains several thousand documents. 

Universal Device Licenses

• You can check available pages per month and pages still available for the current month and  by selecting an UDL device in device management.
• Universal Device Licenses: Variables like original file name, file creation date and time are now choosable in the variables menu for input fields.

Supported file formats from scanning device

• For some vendors old single page formats could still be configured in the device settings. This resulted in possible issues with current multi page processing services. Therefore old single page image formats (e.g. JPEG) have been removed from the list of default formats to choose in  the manufacturers' device dialogue settings.

The following errors have been solved in the current version:

• After update to DI 8.0.790 no profiles were shown on Kyocera devices
• Some QR codes couldn't be recognized. The barcode reader engine threw a license error.
• The Output to Drivve | DM had an issue identifying the correct database instance, if the instance ID of one database was the same as the instance name of another database.
• The settings for "Add OCR text" in DM output did not provide a language list occasionally.
• The barcode recognition might not have worked if invalid characters (e.g. backspace) were included in the barcode.
• Universal device licenses - Email-Monitoring: Metadata import via csv file did not work, only import of XML files did work as expected.
• Universal device licenses - scan to ftp: Some ftp paths, which were shown html encoded in the Drivve | Image configuration interface, did not work as desired.
• Bates Numbering: If image and text stamping were combined in bates settings, the positions of the applied stamp elements were off.
• Setting of PDF file properties like title, author, etc. only worked for variable values when converting to searchable formats with the IRIS engine.
• OCR separation did not work with two AND conditions.
• Key labels of the Drivve | Image keyboard for various languages and manufacturers have been corrected.

The following errors have been solved in the current version:

• Under certain circumstances an orphaned meta-file in the internal Drivve | Image directory stopped further job processing until the Drivve | Image services were restarted.
• Separation by barcode did not work if a filter was set before that did not match the barcode, even if the filter was disabled. The disabled filter criteria was still applied.
• Sometimes the internal replacement function for illegal characters in file names replaced all characters of the file name by underscores (_).
• IMAP monitoring - non- image files (e.g. Word documents) got deleted instead of routed to the output target, even if no mime type filter was set.
• File output: OCR-Zone result could not be exported into the XML file by the corresponding option of the xml preferences.
• Character list had no effect on zonal OCR result
• The Test - function of the barcode recognition did not work as desired.
• Debug folders per job were created under ...\log although debug mode was not enabled.
• Bates numbering - The number was incremented per page including blank pages that were deleted. This resulted in broken numbering sequences.
• Separation by barcode - Settings of the image preprocessing was copied to the barcode recognition too.
• 400dpi scans converted to PDF with IRIS were displayed contorted within the DM viewer.

Output - Email
TLS 1.2 has been set as the preferred cryptographic protocol for the SMTP connection. 

Furthermore the return messages for failed tests of the email settings after clicking the Test-button have been enhanced to convey more information about the cause of the failure.

Output

Output processing has been changed in the way that if a job with document separation returns more than 100 documents, the upload(s) to the output target(s) will work with batches of 100 documents instead of all documents in one batch.

The following errors have been solved in the current version:

• The Drivve | Image default service used up to 2 GB of memory, as some object classes did not properly release allocated memory.
• The Drivve | Image service might have stopped processing documents and needed to be restarted before further document processing was possible again.
  
  Note: If you have been affected by this issue, please make sure no broken Drivve | Image service process is still loaded before updating. Follow these steps before updating:
  - Execute the file  Stop Drivve Image Services.bat with administrative privileges from the Drivve Image installation folder
  - Make sure there are no jobs processed at the moment
  - Stop all processes called "DrivveImageService.exe" via task manager.
• If "automatically merge pages based on barcode" was selected as option for separation by barcodes, the barcode was repeated in the separated document's metadata for each finding in the original file.
• Xerox: Older WorkCentre Models with first browser version had issues when scan settings were changed by a profile user.
• Output - Email: Html email link was always html encoded.
• Bates numbering: On monochrome images the bates stamp was black, regardless if another color was chosen in the setup.
• Bates numbering: The Bates variables didn't return the expected values when used as part of the file name.
• Output / E-mail / Email / Email Distribution: Values in the "Name" field were not used in the sent mail.
• The behaviour of the Single-Line Mode and Multi-Line Mode checkboxes for regular expressions in the OCR-Separation Text processing section was not working as expected.

Universal device licenses - Email monitoring
A possibility to limit actual document processing to attachments with defined file extensions has been implemented.

License check for Output to Drivve | DM
The test button for the DM data-source will return a warning if the DM server has no license.

The DM output will report an explicit error that the Drivve | DM server has an license issue, if that is the reason for Drivve | Image being unable to upload a document.

SPT

With SPT you can now add OCR-Textoutput to a file output using the Tesseract OCR engine. Previously this was only possible with the OCR module, using the I.R.I.S. engine.

Box

The Box API has been updgraded due to TLS 1.0 deprecation with Box. TLS 2.0 is now supported.

The following errors have been solved in the current version:

• When interpreting zones for barcode recognition, the engine mixed up the values for heigth and width.
• Barcodes couldn't be recognized on PDF documents if they were embedded as text with a barcode font instead of as an image.
• Barcodes on PDFs always returned an empty value for the Barcode recognition, while testing of the settings as well as the barcode separation process returned the correct values.
• Setting Output format "searchable PDF" or selecting the "Add OCR text" for Drivve DM output did not create the expected results.
• Under certain circumstances the selected encoding for conversion to TIFF has been ignored.
• When setting the file format to JPEG in the scanner preferences for Sharp devices, an outdated warning message was displayed.
• Files containing dots (.) in the filename got wrong file extensions after conversion.
• The discontinued fax connectors have been displayed still in the Drivve | Image configuration interface's output section.
• On a clean server, the Drivve | Image setup skipped the installation folder choice dialogue.

Further the possibility to control how the connection to the Sharp CPO server is established was enhanced.

The passing on of index values and the support of custom document types was enhanced.

Please refer to  How do I use Drivve | Image to scan documents to Sharp Cloud Portal Office? for details.

Bates numbering using variables of the document separation

The processing function "bates numbering" can now access variables of the document separation.

Improved OCR engine

The I.R.I.S OCR engine, which is used when the OCR module is licensed, has been enhanced as follows:

• Creation of non linearized PDF files to reduce file size.
• Reliable recognition of text using fonts of the EcoFont families.
• Recognition of tables with interrupted frames (e.g. dashed lines).
• Enhanced OCR accuracy for all types of documents.

Improved user experience of the LDAP data source dialog

Consistency checks have been established to help the user not to configure conflicting settings (e.g. SSL and Kerberos).

Improved barcode recognition

If a barcode was already found on a document before the additional analysis, the additional analysis was skipped. This check is now no longer performed on document level but instead on page level. This improves barcode recognition for scan batches with  documents from various sources and mixed quality in the same batch.

Explicit support for Canon® Scanfront 330

In device management it can now be differentiated between Scanfront 300 and Scanfront 330 devices. This improves the Scanfront 330 integration.
