Description

Default

Resolution — determines the quality of the scanned image. The image resolution is defined by the number of dots-per-inch that are used to create the image. The higher the resolution the sharper the image. Available resolutions are 75, 100, 150, 200, 240, 300, 400 and 600 dpi. 300 dpi is optimal for creating text PDF files.

Adjustments — the Black-and-White Adjustments screen appears. If your Scan As selection is Black and White, you can select either Normal or Best.

•If you select Normal, you can select a Contrast and Threshold setting.

•If you select Best, you can only select a Contrast setting.

If your Scan As selection is Color or Grayscale, the Contrast and Threshold settings are disabled.

Contrast — enhances the edges contained in an image. Edges typically represent transitions between foreground and background information, such as the transition from background to faint text. Values range from 0 to 100. The higher the contrast level the more enhancement of the image edges.

Threshold: converts grayscale images to black and white. Values range from 1 to 255. A low threshold value produces a lighter image and can be used to subdue backgrounds and subtle unneeded information. A high threshold value produces a darker image and can be used to help pick up faint images.

Copies for Printing — allows you to specify the number of copies (1-99) when a document is sent to print.

Advanced — this group contains the Blank Image Detection option which is used to find blank pages (i.e., the blank back side of a document), so these pages can be discarded. This is typically used when scanning black and white documents to either TIFF or PDF. For black and white documents the default is 5 KB.

About — provides information about the Scan Station.
