gscan2pdf - Duplex scanning, with OCR

After setting up my Fujitsu ScanSnap S1300i on Debian Jessie (stable), I began scanning duplex pages:

  • sudo gscan2pdf
  • Place pages into scanner, face down
  • File > Scan
    • Select device (in my case, "FUJITSU ScanSnap S1300i")
    • Page Options Tab
      • # Pages: All
      • Source Document: Single sided (note: we select duplex, later)
      • Select button "Options", for line "Clean up images"
        • Select tab "Filters"
          • White threshold: 0.90
          • Black threshold: 0.48 (note: this currently does not save, for me!)
    • Scan Mode Tab
      • Scan Source: ADF Duplex (note: this scans both sides at once!)
      • Scan mode: Lineart (note: best for scanning text)
      • Scan resolution: 300
    • Geometry Tab: accept defaults
    • Enhancement Tab:
      • Threshold: 50 (note: this helps cleans up artifacts)
    • Sensors Tab: accept defaults
  • Page options > Scan button
  • Close the popup window
  • File > Save
If you like, save the Scan Profile.
