4.7.2 Job/Cache

Figure Option dialog (Job/Cache)

♦Caching

Specifies whether to pre-read (cache) when a document is scanned. This option enables faster scanning.

If processing of the application being used slows down and scanning stops, this option can be used to prevent degradation of the scanning speed. (The effect, however, depends on the environment being used.)

None

Caching is not performed.

Read ahead

One document page is scanned, and the data is pre-read and stored in PC memory (main memory of the personal computer).

Ram cache

Prereads the allowable amount based on the allocated memory size and stores the data in PC memory.

A memory size between 1 and 200 MB can be set.

Use Memory on Scanner

Pre-reads using the memory installed in the scanner (displayed only if supported by the scanner).
