Thanks for this! It’s great when it works, but sometimes it recognized an item as a document and other times it doesn’t. How can I just TURN ON SCAN and not have it be wishy-washy? Thanks!
Make sure the Lens of your camera is clean, keep your hands steady, maintain the right distance not too far or too close and most important make sure scene optimization is on.
