Features of the Scanner

The main features of the DR-M160 document scanner are described below.

●Compact Design

The scanner has a compact size of 280 mm (11.02")(W) x 172 mm (6.77")(D) x 178 mm (7.01")(H) when the document feed is closed.

●Fast Document Feeding

Documents can be scanned at a speed of up to 60 pages per minute (when scanning one-sided or two-sided documents of A4 size at 200 dpi).

●High Image Quality

The 600 dpi optical resolution sensor incorporated in the scanner enables documents to be scanned with high image quality.

●USB 2.0 Interface

The scanner supports Hi-Speed USB 2.0.

●Color/Grayscale Support

Documents can be scanned in 24-bit color or 256-level grayscale.

●Supports a Variety of Scanning Modes

The scanner supports the following scanning modes, depending on the document type:

•Single-sided or double-sided scanning (with Skip Blank Page function)

•Continuous or single sheet feed

●Card Scan

You can scan business or ID cards.

●Paper Size Detection

The scanner automatically detects the size of a scanned document and eliminates any unnecessary space around the edges of the image when storing the image, even when storing a document of irregular size.

●Auto Color Detection

The scanner detects whether the scanned document is in color or grayscale, and saves the image accordingly.

●Full Auto Mode

A Full Auto Mode is provided in CaptureOnTouch to allow scanning under automatically determined conditions. Scanning conditions such as the color mode and page size are set automatically based on the document being scanned.

●Auto Resolution Detection

When enabled in the CaptureOnTouch or scanner driver settings, this function detects the content of documents and determines the scanning resolution automatically.

●Folio Scan

You can scan folded documents. The scanner will scan both sides and combine the scanned images into a single image.

●Deskew

The scanner straightens scanned images when it detects that the document was placed askew.

●Ultrasonic Double Feed Detection

Ultrasonic waves are used to detect pages that are fed at the same time as well as the space between pages. Scanning stops if a double feed is detected.

●Double Feed Detection Ignore

When a double feed is detected, the DFR button on the operation panel is lit. You can continue scanning by pressing the DFR button.

●Double Feed Retry

When a double feed has occurred, this function returns the document to the document feeder and re-feeds the pages.

●Text Enhancement Modes

The scanner is equipped with an Advanced Text Enhancement Mode to enhance the text of documents with dark or uneven backgrounds, and an Advanced Text Enhancement II mode to enhance the text when both the text and background are light. These modes may not work, depending on the type of document.

●Color Drop-out

The scanner is equipped with a Color Drop-out function that enables you to specify a color for the scanner to omit from the scanned image during black and white or grayscale scanning.

●Skip Blank Page Function

The scanner is equipped with a Skip Blank Page function that enables you to scan a document without storing images of blank pages, regardless of whether each page of the document is two- sided or one-sided. Both sides are scanned, but saving the image is skipped for scan images judged to be from a blank page.
