There are recommended scanner settings you should be using when scanning invoices and statements to AutoEntry.
📎NOTE: These settings are not required for uploading via the Mobile App or uploading digital .pdf copies of statements or invoices.
Colour
The colour setting on your scanner should be Greyscale (grey, true grey or similar)
Don't use black and white - AutoEntry will reject scans in black and white as the extraction quality can be extremely poor
Error Diffusion off
Use colour if there is no greyscale option
For poor copies, for example, carbon copy invoices for example, it can be better to use full colour, although this isn't a guarantee that AutoEntry won't reject it for poor scan quality
File Type
Don't set the file type to a compressed format. For example, Compressed PDF. Use either PDF or TIFF.
Compression
Turn compression off or down to the lowest setting.
Quality
Turn the quality up to the highest setting.
Image Processing
Turn off any image processing, for example, binarisation, thresholding, background adjustment, or turn it down to the lowest setting possible on your scanner.
📎NOTE: Don't upload screenshots. AutoEntry will reject screenshots, so if you have a digital copy already, simply save the file and upload it.
