Read the first 7 Quality Control flashcards as text

  1. When scanning double-sided (duplex) documents, which QC check is specifically required that is not needed for single-sided scanning?

    Answer: Verifying that blank reverse sides are handled correctly per project specifications

    Duplex scanning requires a policy for blank reverse pages—whether to include or discard them—and QC must verify this rule is applied consistently.

  2. In quality control for document imaging, what is 'banding'?

    Answer: Horizontal or vertical streaks across an image caused by scanner hardware issues

    Banding appears as repeating horizontal or vertical lines in scanned images, typically caused by a dirty or damaged scanner glass or lamp issues.

  3. Which acceptance sampling standard is commonly referenced in document imaging QC programs to determine sample sizes and acceptable quality levels?

    Answer: ANSI/ASQ Z1.4

    ANSI/ASQ Z1.4 provides attribute sampling plans widely adopted in document imaging QC to determine statistically valid sample sizes and AQL thresholds.

  4. What is the purpose of scanner calibration in a document imaging quality program?

    Answer: To ensure consistent, accurate image capture by correcting for hardware variations

    Scanner calibration uses reference targets to correct for lamp aging, sensor drift, and other hardware variations that degrade image quality over time.

  5. A document imaging project discovers that 8% of scanned images have illegible text due to low contrast. What is the most appropriate corrective action?

    Answer: Adjust scanner brightness and contrast settings, then rescan the affected batch

    Low contrast issues are a scanning parameter problem that must be corrected at the source by adjusting scanner settings and rescanning—not through post-processing.

  6. Which element of a quality control checklist specifically addresses whether all pages of a multi-page document are present and in correct order?

    Answer: Completeness and sequence verification

    Completeness and sequence verification ensures that no pages are missing, duplicated, or out of order within a scanned multi-page document.

  7. In a large-scale document imaging QC program, what is the primary advantage of implementing a 'tiered' quality review process?

    Answer: It allocates intensive inspection resources to higher-risk document types while applying lighter review to lower-risk documents

    A tiered QC approach applies risk-based resource allocation, concentrating thorough inspection where errors would have the greatest impact.
