13 Frequently Asked Questions: Scanning

13.1Can we use the A741 for scanning?

Yes, scanning is a standard option. Scanning will be done at 400 dpi and the output data is stored on the computer in a Group IV compressed TIFF format.

13.2Can we scan multiple documents

Yes, batch scanning is possible. Either we can enter each filename manually or use the auto-number option. With this latter option the user can specify the basic file name, while the program will add a unique sequence number to each scan.

13.3Can we edit the scanned documents

Not with the standard A741 Repro System software, but programs like Wang Imaging Professional or the Rasterex utilities are capable of modifying the data. The A741 Repro Client however offers some basic “cleanup” functions for scanned images, like De-Speckle, De-Skew, Invert, Mirror, Scaling and Rotation. (see also 8.5, 8.7, 8.9, 8.10, 11.2 & 11.3)

13.4Can we reduce or enlarge the scanned image

Yes, documents can be reduced/enlarged at scan time from 25% to 400% like when using the A741 as a copier. After the document has been stored on the computer virtual unlimited reduction/enlargement is possible with a variety of software programs.

13.5Can we scan a part of an image?

Before scanning the user can select the area to be scanned, either by standard paper sizes or freely determine the width and length of the are to be scanned. Automatic size detection (the default setting) is provided as well.

13.6Can we scan gray scales?

No. The scanned output is always in the form of a black & white bitmap. The A741 will however simulate grey scales with a technology called dithering.

13.7Can we scan from a network PC?

No, scanning is limited to the Print Server only. This because there is some interaction between the scanning software and the operation of the A741 scanner part. The scanned files however can be transferred through the network to the desired PC. (see also 12.3)
