Brightness (Black and White scanning only)

Sets the density for scanning black-and-white images.

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

*This is only available when the "Color mode:" is set as "B&W", or when "Auto Color Detection" is selected and the document is recognized as back and white.

Setting for text only document.

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

Select this checkbox when scanning documents containing only printed or hand- written text.

Clear this checkbox when scanning documents containing photographs.

*This is only available when the "Color mode:" is set as "Color", or when "Auto Color Detection" is selected and the document is recognized as color.

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 backsides (i.e. blank pages) of one-sided documents from the output images.

*No scanned images are generated if all the sheets in the document stack are recognized as blank pages.

ATTENTION

The following types of documents may be accidentally recognized as blank pages:

Almost blank documents containing only a few characters

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

Allow automatic image deskew.

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

ATTENTION

This function judges a document’s skew based on the characters on the document. So the detection may not work properly for the following kinds of documents:

Documents on which the pitches of lines or characters are extremely narrow, or characters are overlapped

Documents which have many outline characters or similar font styles

Documents with only a few characters

Documents with many photographs or figures

Documents with a background pattern behind the characters

Documents with characters printed in various direction (e.g. plans, etc.)

Documents with long diagonal lines

Documents with handwritten characters

*When you scan such documents, clear the checkbox.
