■Checking the basic Scanning Conditions

When scanning the documents, make sure to set the "Color mode", "Paper Size", "Dots per inch", and "Scanning Side" in the basic conditions on the "Basic" tab.

Color mode

Select the mode for scanned images.

Hint

•Some functions are limited depending on the color mode setting.

•Advanced text enhancement modes are useful if you want to scan documents with a background color or design behind the text as black-and-white images, and remove or process the surrounding background to enhance the text for easy reading.

•Two advanced text enhancement modes are provided to suit different background types. Select the mode that best suits your document. We recommend confirming the image by prescanning the first page.

•When saving an image file in JPEG format, select [256-level Gray] or [24-bit Color].

Page Size

Select the page size of the document to be scanned.

IMPORTANT

•Select [Match original size] to scan the following types of documents.

– Documents of a non-standard size

–Documents containing pages of different sizes

–When using the Long Document mode (See “Long Document Mode Setting” on p. 3-3.)

•When [Match original size] is selected, the area settings in the Scan Area dialog box are disabled.

•The [Match original size] process may malfunction in the following situations. If this occurs, select a standard size (such as [A4] or [Letter]), or click the [Area] button to create a custom page size.

–When scanning a page with a dark area at the left or right edge

–When scanning a glossy or reflective document

–When the brightness setting is incorrect

•Depending on the application program, operation may become unstable when [Match original size] is enabled. In that case, [Match original size] should be disabled.

Dots per inch

Select the scanning resolution.

Hint

•Higher resolutions provide clearer images, but produce larger files.

•The [Moire Reduction] setting is enabled when the resolution is set to 300 dpi or lower, and the [Image Quality] setting is enabled when the resolution is set to 400 or 600 dpi.

Scanning Side

Select which page side(s) to scan.

Hint

•Select [Skip blank pages] to delete the blank page images before saving.
