Region Selection

Area

You can specify single-sided (simplex) or double-sided (duplex) scanning in the Region Selection group box.

NOTE: Both sides of the document are scanned at a same time in duplex scanning. The front side of the image/page is output first, then the back side of the image/page.

∙Front Main Scan—sets scanning settings for the front side.

∙Back Main Scan—sets scanning settings for the back side.

∙Front Region #1, Front Region #2, and Front Region #3—sets the scanning settings for front regions #1-3.

∙Back Region #1, Back Region #2, and Back Region #3—sets the scanning settings for back regions #1-3.

Choose a window in the Region drop-down list box in the Region Selection group box. Specify the Mode, Dither, and Area settings.

NOTE: The More dialog box is available only when “Front Main Scan” is selected in the Region drop-down list box.

You can define a brightness level and dither setting for a specific area of an image that is different from the brightness level and dither setting of the whole image.

This way, a picture can be dithered while the rest of the page remains undithered, or a faint stamp can be enhanced by setting a lower brightness than the rest of the page. You can define three regions per side. Each region can have its own brightness level, but all regions must use the same dither setting.

Each scanning side is settable for up to three regions. This function is available only for binary mode.

Choose a region in the Region Selection group box. Choose a dither pattern for the region in the Dither drop-down list box. Click on the Area button to access the Set Scanning Area dialog box and specify the position of the region. Select the next region in the Region Selection group box, if necessary. Input the number of the windows, in either the Front text box or the Back text box in the Additional Region section in the Region Selection group box.
