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). For Windows 7, you can enter 32 characters with 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. 68.)
☞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.
[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.  
						

							Software Setup67
Chapter 3
☞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.
[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.
☞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.

[Skip Blank Page]
As each document page is scanned, its scanned image is judged as to whether it 
is blank, and if so, 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. 
						

							70Software Setup
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] scanning option is selected in the [Basic] tab 
sheet of the TWAIN driver, the [Simplex] scanning side setting is selected 
automatically.
☞If the application program provides its own simplex/duplex scanning side 
setting, select Simplex in this dialog box.

scanned images.
☞The Deskew function does not work properly in the following situations. 
Disable Deskew in these cases.
• When scanning a page with a dark area near the edge
• When scanning a glossy or reflective document
• When the brightness setting is incorrect
• When Custom setting is selected in the Gamma Settings dialog box
☞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
When 400 or 600 dpi resolution is selected, you can enable this and select 
either [Speed Priority] or [Image Quality Priority Image].
[Speed Priority]
This mode gives priority to scanning speed, and generates 400 or 600 dpi 
images from images 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
Open the [Scan Area] dialog box to specify the area to scan. (See “[Scan Area] 
Dialog Box,” on p. 73.)

[Auto Color Detection Settings] Dialog Box
This dialog box appears when you select [Auto Color Detection], where you can 
make settings for detecting whether scanned images are color or black and white, 
and select the mode to use when an image is detected as black and white.
Color Sensitivity/Color Pixel Ratio
These settings are used to determine whether a document is a color document.
The scanner detects document colors according to the color sensitivity setting, 
and determines that the scanned document is a color document based on the 
color pixel ratio.
☞Usually, the default settings can be used without change, unless you want 
to force the scanner to recognize a heavily colored document as a black-
and-white document.
☞If a color document is detected as a black-and-white document with the 
default settings, select [24-bit Color]. When [Auto Color Detection] is 
selected, [Hi-Speed Text Enhancement] cannot be selected.
Mode in case of binary
Select the scanning mode when a page is judged to be black and white.
☞[High-Speed Text Enhancement] is disabled when [Auto Color Detection] 
is enabled.
Brightness
This control adjusts brightness when [Advanced Text Enhancement] or 
[Advanced Text Enhancement II] is selected with Black and White mode. For 
other modes, brightness is set on the [Brightness] tab sheet.
Contrast
This control adjusts contrast when [Advanced Text Enhancement II] is selected 
with Black and White mode. For other modes, contrast is set on the 
[Brightness] tab sheet.
