workers and 1 thread to always have some computing power left for
other tasks).
- Keep [`PAPERLESS_OCR_MODE`](configuration.md#PAPERLESS_OCR_MODE) at its default value `skip` and consider
- Keep [`PAPERLESS_OCR_MODE`](configuration.md#PAPERLESS_OCR_MODE) at its default value `auto` and consider
OCRing your documents before feeding them into Paperless. Some
scanners are able to do this!
- Set [`PAPERLESS_OCR_SKIP_ARCHIVE_FILE`](configuration.md#PAPERLESS_OCR_SKIP_ARCHIVE_FILE) to `with_text` to skip archive
file generation for already OCRed documents, or `always` to skip it
for all documents.
- Set [`PAPERLESS_ARCHIVE_FILE_GENERATION`](configuration.md#PAPERLESS_ARCHIVE_FILE_GENERATION) to `never` to skip archive
file generation entirely, saving disk space at the cost of in-browser PDF/A viewing.
- If you want to perform OCR on the device, consider using
`PAPERLESS_OCR_CLEAN=none`. This will speed up OCR times and use
less memory at the expense of slightly worse OCR results.
