Basic Scanning Condition Settings

This section provides an overview of the basic setting items that are the minimum requirements when configuring the scanner settings.

Confirming Basic Conditions for Scanning

When you scan a document, make sure you confirm the [Mode], [Dots per inch], [Page Size], and [Scanning Side] basic conditions in the Basic settings dialog box.

Mode

Select the scanning mode.

•[Advanced Text Enhancement II] removes or processes the background color and background surrounding text to enhance the text for easy reading.

•[Auto Color Detection] saves color images for color documents, and black and white images for black and white documents.

Dots per inch

Select the scanning resolution.

Higher resolutions provide clearer images, but produce larger files.

If [Auto-detection] is selected, the edges of the document are detected and images that match the size of the document are saved.

Scanning Side

Select which page side(s) to scan.

If the scanning side is set to [Skip blank page], the images of blank pages are deleted when images are saved.

Scanning Documents of Unregistered Page Sizes

Configuring the following settings allows you to scan a document of an unregistered page size.

You can register a non-standard page size that has not been registered as a page size by naming and registering it as a custom page size in the [Add/Delete Page Size] dialog box, which is opened by selecting [Add/Delete] from the [Page Size] menu.
