Image Adjustments for Scanning

•To enhance text in documents with a background (when scanning in black and white (binary) mode.)

Select [Advanced Text Enhancement] as the Mode on the [Basic] tab sheet. The background behind the text is removed or processed so that the text is emphasized for better legibility. (See “Mode,” on p. 66.)

•To scan documents with different brightness on the front and back

Adjust the back side brightness and contrast on the [Brightness] tab sheet. However, when a text enhancement mode is selected, the back side brightness cannot be adjusted. (See “[Brightness] Tab Sheet,” on p. 74.)

•To reduce the moire that appears when scanning photos from magazines, etc.

Select [High Speed Moire Reduction] or [High Quality Moire Reduction] from the moire reduction options on the [Basic] tab sheet. However, [High Speed Moire Reduction] is not available when the resolution setting is 300 dpi. (See “Moire Reduction,” on p. 70.)

•To rotate scanned images

Select a rotation angle (0, 90, 180 or 270 degrees) as the Document Orientation setting on the [Image processing] tab sheet. (See “[Document Orientation],” on p. 79.)

Scanned images are rotated as follows according to the orientation of loaded documents and the selected angle.
