4.2 Changing Scanning Settings

•"Setting for text only document" checkbox

Mark or unmark the checkbox according to the type of your document as described below.

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

•Clear this checkbox when scanning documents containing photographs.

•"Allow automatic blank page removal" checkbox

If this checkbox is marked, the ScanSnap detects blank pages in the document and automatically removes them to output images.

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

*No scanned images are generated if all the sheets in the document 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 (solid color including black) and

without any patterns, lines, or characters

Before discarding the scanned documents, check for pages accidentally removed from the output image. If any, you need to re-scan the document.

the Setting

•"Correct skewed character strings automatically" checkbox

If this checkbox is marked, the ScanSnap detects a skew of the documents and outputs corrected images. Up to +/-5 degrees of skew can be corrected.

ScanSnap

ATTENTION

This function detects a document skew based on the characters on the document. Therefore, it may not work properly for the following kinds of documents:

•Documents on which the pitches of lines or characters are extremely narrow, or adjacent characters contact with each other

•Documents with many outlined or decorated characters

•Documents with many photographs or figures and only a few characters

•Documents with characters in patterned background

•Documents with characters printed in various directions (e.g. plans)

•Documents with long diagonal lines

•Documents with handwritten characters

*When you scan such documents, clear the checkbox.
