when scanning documents in which the background is uniform and 
both the text and background are light.
*This feature may not work effectively for some documents
Drop-Out Color
This feature makes it possible to ignore specific colors when 
scanning a document.
Picture Mode
The [Apply corrections suitable for photographs] features 
compensates for underexposed and overexposed images for photo-
quality scans with finer gradation.
Prescan
This feature allows you to scan just the first page of a document, 
confirm the scanned image and adjust the brightness and contrast, 
and then scan the remaining pages of the document.
Scan First
Pressing the Start button on the scanner automatically starts 
CaptureOnTouch Lite or CaptureOnTouch, which allows simple 
scanning by following the instructions on screen.
