User Preferences
Click [Save] to open the [Save User Preference] dialog box.
 
The [Save User Preference] dialog box saves the current settings under an assigned name. 
You can select the name of a saved set of user preferences in the list box to load those settings into 
each tab sheet.
☞ Assigned names can consist of up to 32 characters (or 16 double-byte characters.)
Mode
Select the mode for scanned images. 
 
☞Some functionality is limited depending on the mode setting. (See “Mode-Dependent Function 
Limitations,” on p. 7-7.)
☞The Text Enhancement modes are good for scanning documents with a background color or 
design behind text, by removing or processing the surrounding background to enhance the text for 
easy reading. 
☞Three text enhancement modes are provided to suit different background types.  Select the mode 
that seems to best suit your document. We recommend confirming an image by prescanning the 
first page.
[Black and White]
Use this mode to scan text and line drawing documents as black and while (binary) images.
[Error Diffusion]
Use this mode to scan documents containing photos as black and white (binary) images.
[Advanced Text Enhancement]
Use this mode to scan documents with a dark or non-uniform (pattern) background.
☞ If the background is uniform it is removed where it surrounds the text.
☞ If the background is non-uniform, such a pattern, it is processed to enhance text readability.
[Advanced Text Enhancement II]
Use this mode to scan documents with a light uniform background and low-contrast text.
☞The background in tight spaces around text may not be removed. 
						

							Chapter 7  ISIS/TWAIN Driver Settings
7-6
☞Documents with low-contrast text can be made more readable by adjusting Contrast on the 
[Brightness] tab sheet.
☞ If the background is non-uniform, such a pattern, the background remains visible in the image, 
and text may be hard to read.
[High-Speed Text Enhancement]
This mode optimizes processing speed by performing background processing within the scanner, 
and is good for scanning documents with light background and dark text.
☞If the text and background in a document have nearly the same density, the text may be hard to 
read.
☞Areas with uniform background may appear as non-uniform white in the image.
☞Because background processing is performed within the scanner, scanned images are more 
susceptible to lines appearing due to dirt on the scanning table glass. In cases where this may be 
a problem, try scanning again after cleaning the scanner glass, or select one of the [Advanced 
Text Enhancement] or [Advanced Text Enhancement II] modes instead.
[256-level Gray]
Scans documents such as photos as 256-level grayscale images.
[24-bit Color]
Scans documents such as color photos as full-color images.
[Auto Color Detection]
Whether a document is black and white or color is detected before the scanned image is saved.
☞When [Auto Color Detection] is enabled, the [Setting] button is enabled for opening the [Auto 
Color Detection] dialog box, where you can make settings affecting how color documents are 
judged, and select which scanning mode to use for black and white. 
☞Depending on the application program, operation may become unstable when [Auto Color 
Detection] is enabled. In that case, [Auto Color Detection] should be disabled.
☞When using an application that supports the MultiStream function (such as CapturePerfect), if 
[Auto Color Detection] is selected, the MultiStream function is disabled.

the image is not saved.
☞Selecting [Skip Blank Page] enables the [Setting] button, which opens the [Blank Skip Setting] 
dialog box. 
☞Adjust the [Content density] setting in the [Blank Skip Setting] dialog box if blank pages are not 
skipped, or if non-blank pages are skipped.
 
The Content density should be adjusted according to document content, so that only blank pages 
are skipped: increase the setting if they are not skipped, and decrease the setting if non-blank 
pages are skipped.  
☞The Skip Blank Pages function may not work properly if the [Custom] setting is enabled in the 
Gamma Settings dialog box.
☞When the [Scan Single Page] feeding option is selected in the [Others] tab sheet of the TWAIN 
driver, the [Simplex] scanning side setting is selected automatically.

☞Note that in other cases, depending on the document, the slant of the image may not be corrected 
properly or part of the image may be omitted. 
Moire Reduction
When 300 dpi or lower resolution is selected, you can enable Moire reduction if Moire patterns 
appear in scanned images.
 
[None]
No Moire processing is performed.
[High Speed Moire Reduction]
This mode gives priority to scanning speed, and generates images with the specified resolution from 
images scanned at 300 dpi. When 300 dpi resolution is selected, [High-Speed Moire Reduction] is 
not displayed. 
[High Quality Moire Reduction]
This mode gives priority to image quality, and generates images with the specified resolution from 
images scanned at 600 dpi. 
Although image quality is high, scanning is slow.
When [High Quality Moire Reduction] is selected while Page Size is set to [Auto-detection], Mode is 
set to [24-bit Color], and Scanning Side is set to [Duplex] all at the same time, a portion of the 
document may not be scanned due to insufficient memory on the scanner. If this occurs, lower the 
image quality by selecting [Speed priority], or change the Scanning Side setting to [Simplex].
Image Quality

scanned at 300 dpi. 
Although scanning speed is fast, image quality is slightly reduced.
[Image Quality Priority]
This mode gives priority to image quality, and scans at 600 dpi. 
When 400 dpi resolution is selected, 400 dpi images are generated from images scanned at 600 dpi.
☞Scanning with 24-bit Color is disabled when [Image Quality Priority] is selected. Also, an error 
may be displayed with some combinations with other settings, in which case [Speed Priority] 
should be selected, or other settings changed.
[Scan Options] (TWAIN driver only)
Specify operation when scanning continuously with a TWAIN-compatible application.
[Standard image]
Eject a scanned page before scanning the next page.
[Scan Ahead]
Scan pages continuously, so scanning speed is faster than [Standard image].
[Scan Single Page]
The [Scanning Side] setting on the [Basic] tab sheet becomes [Simplex], and one page is scanned.
When [High Quality Moire Reduction] is selected while Page Size is set to [Auto-detection], Mode is 
set to [24-bit Color], and Scanning Side is set to [Duplex] all at the same time, a portion of the 
document may not be scanned due to insufficient memory on the scanner. If this occurs, lower the 
image quality by selecting [Speed priority], or change the Scanning Side setting to [Simplex].
[Area] Button
