You would have to tell us what machine brand you are using, as everyone has his own idea how to recognize X-outs. I find the auto-recognition very time consuming ( non-productive machine time ), unless the camera could recognize an image in one shot

There are never stupid questions - only stupid answers. More detail is needed to be helpful for your answer. Yes, there are ways it can be done - depending on the application, practicality and expense. What is it that you are trying to power with 1
