4.2 Changing Scanning Settings

- Brightness

(Black and White scanning only)

You can set the density for scanning black-and-white images.

Moving the slider control to the left lightens scanned images while moving the slider control to the right darkens scanned images.

*This setting is valid when "B&W" is selected in the "Color mode" drop-down list, or when a scanned document is recognized as a black-and-white document with "Auto Color Detection" selected in the "Color mode" drop-down list.

-Setting for text only document

Mark or clear this checkbox depending on documents.

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

Clear this checkbox when scanning documents containing photographs.

-Allow automatic blank page removal

When this checkbox is marked, blank pages in a document are automatically recognized and removed so that the output images include no blank pages. For example, when both two-sided and one-sided documents are contained in a batch and the batch is scanned in Duplex mode, this feature removes only the back side (blank page) of one-sided documents.

ATTENTION

*No scanned images are output if all pages of the batch of documents are recognized as blank.

The following types of documents may be accidentally recognized as blank.

Almost blank sheet of paper with a few characters on it

Before discarding the original documents you have scanned, check the document images for pages accidentally removed. If any, you may have to scan the documents again.

- Correct skewed character strings automatically

When this checkbox is marked, skewing is automatically detected and corrected to output images. Up to +/-5 degrees of skews can be corrected.

ATTENTION

This function detects a document skew based on the text lines. Therefore, if the following types of documents are skewed, the skew may not be corrected:

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

Documents that have many outlined or decorated characters

Documents that have many photographs or figures but only a few characters

Documents that have characters on patterned background

Documents that have characters printed in various direction (e.g. drawings)

Documents that have long diagonal lines

Handwritten documents

*When you scan documents above, clear the checkbox.
