■Brightness (Black and White scanning only)

Moving the slider control to the left will lighten the scanned image, while moving the slider control to the right results in a darker scanned image.

*This setting item becomes available when "B&W" is currently selected at "Color mode:" or when "Auto" is selected at "Color mode:" and black-and- white documents are automatically recognized.

■Setting for text only document.

Mark the checkbox as follows according to the type of your document.

•Mark this checkbox when scanning documents containing printed or handwritten text.

•Unmark this checkbox when scanning documents containing photographs.

*This setting item becomes available when "Color" is currently selected at "Color mode:" or when "Auto" is selected at "Color mode:" and color docu- ments are automatically recognized.

■Allow automatic blank page removal.

This setting automatically detects blank pages in the document stack and automatically removes them from the output.

For example, when a stack of documents containing both two-sided and one-sided documents is scanned in Duplex mode, this feature removes only the back sides (i.e. blank pages) of one-sided documents from the output images.

*No scanned images are output if all of the sheets in the document stack are rec- ognized as blank pages.

ATTENTION

Following documents may be accidentally recognized as blank pages:

•Almost blank documents containing only a few characters

•Document of only one color (including black) and without any patterns, lines, or characters

■Allow automatic image deskew.

This setting automatically detects skewed documents and correct them for the output data. Up to +-5 degrees of skews can be corrected.
