Details

Enables testing that each file ingested is a valid image file. If enabled, converts black and white TIF files to G4 compression. This action should not be called against invalid file types such as PDFs due to incompatibility.

For this action to take effect, it must be called before the Scan action.

Example:

set_types("tif")
set_image_validation("True")
scan()
