3.4 Changing Scan Settings

-Brightness (Black and White scanning only)

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

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 becomes available when "B&W" is selected at "Color mode" or when "Auto Color Detection" is selected in the "Color mode" drop-down list and black-and-white documents are automatically recognized.

-Setting for text only document.

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

•Select this checkbox when scanning documents contain printed or handwritten text.

•Clear this checkbox when scanning documents contain photographs.

*This setting becomes available when "Color" or "Auto Color Detection" is selected in the "Color mode" drop-down list and color documents are automati- cally recognized.

-Allow automatic blank page removal.

This setting automatically detects blank pages in the document stack and 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 side (i.e. blank page) 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.
