●Variety of Scanning Modes
The scanner is equipped with six scanning modes: 
Black and White, Error Diffusion, Advanced Text 
Enhancement, Advanced Text Enhancement II, 256-
level Gray, and 24-bit Color.*Advanced Text Enhancement can clarify scanned text by 
processing background or foreground colors.●Fast Document Feeding
The scanner can scan up to 100 document sheets per 
minute of LTR/A4-size paper in black and white, 
grayscale, and color scanning modes. (For the DR-
G1130)*Scanning conditions: LTR/A4 portrait, duplex, 200 dpi●Large Capacity Feeder
Up to 500 plain paper document sheets can be loaded in 
the document feed tray. 
●Count-Only Mode
When operating the scanner as a stand-alone device, 
this mode counts the number of loaded document 
sheets. (See “Count-Only Mode” on p. 4-2.)
●Adjustable Document Feed Tray
The position of the document feed tray can be adjusted 
up or down according to the number of document sheets 
to be loaded. (See “Preparing the Document Feed Tray” 
on p. 3-5.)●Long Document Mode
Document sheets up to 3,000 mm long can be scanned. 
(See “Long Document Mode Setting” on p. 3-3.)
●Job Function
Scanning conditions and the saving destination for 
image files are registered with the job, so you can scan 
using only control panel key operations. (See “About 
the Job Function” on p. 3-13.)
●Freely Adjustable Document Guides
The left and right document guides can be adjusted so 
that documents can be positioned to scan either the left 
or right side. (See “Adjusting the Document Guides” on

Detection Functions
●Color Document Auto Detection
The scanner automatically detects whether documents 
are in color, grayscale, or black and white.
●Auto Paper Size Detection
The document page size is detected before scanning.
●Skew Detection
The scanner stops feeding when a skewed document is 
detected as it touches the edge of the feeder inlet.
●Staple Detection
The scanner stops feeding when it detects the presence 
of stapled documents. (See “Staple Detection Setting” 
on p. 4-6.)
●Ultrasonic Double-Feed Detection
The scanner stops feeding when the ultrasonic sensor 
detects that two or more document pages are feeding at 
the same time. (See “Double-Feed Control Setting” on 
p. 4-6.)*A non-detection zone can be specified to avoid double-
feed detection in areas such as those containing adhesive 
labels.●Double-Feed Detection by Document Length
The scanner stops feeding when a double feed is 
detected by comparing document lengths. (See 
“Double-Feed Control Setting” on p. 4-6.)*Using the length of the first document page as a reference, 
the scanner detects a double feed when a page of a 
different length is fed.
●Prescan
At the start of scanning, this function prescans the first 
page of a document and pauses so that you can use the 
first image to adjust the brightness and contrast before 
resuming scanning.
●Verify Scan
While scanning, the count of document pages scanned 
is verified against a pre-specified count or the count 
obtained from Count-Only Mode. (See “Verify Scan” 
on p. 4-2.)
●Text Orientation Detection
The text orientation on each page is detected, and the 
scanned image is rotated in 90-degree increments as 
necessary for normalization.
Image Processing●Prevent Bleed Through/Remove Background
Prevents the background or original image on the 
reverse side of thin originals from appearing in scanned 
images.
●Image Rotation
The scanner can rotate scanned images in 90° 
increments, or detect the text orientation and rotate the 
image in 90° increments to correct its orientation.

●Deskew
The scanner straightens an image when it recognizes 
from the image that the document page was fed askew.
●Dropout and Color Enhancement
The scanner is equipped with color drop-out and 
enhancement functions that enable you to specify one 
color (red, blue, or green) to be omitted (dropped out) or 
enhanced when scanning, respectively.
●Remove Binder Holes
Erases the shadows that appear on scanned images form 
binding holes on the original document.●Skip Blank Page
The scanner scans both sides of a document and skips 
saving the image of any side it determines to be a blank 
page.
●Folio Scan
Documents that are too large to fit in the feeder inlet can 
be folded and scanned on both sides, and the images are 
combined into a single image. (See “Scanning 
documents wider than the feeder inlet (Folio Scan)” on 
p. 10-3.)
●MultiStream
The scanner supports MultiStream, which can create 
three images with different scanning conditions from a 
single scan pass depending on the intended purpose. 
However, this function is only available when using 
software that supports Multi-Stream.

●Making text or lines bold
If any text or lines are unclear, this scanner has a 
function for scanning and making them bolder.
●Background smoothing
This processes the background in a scanned image to 
make it look smoother. It can be used when [Detect 
automatically], [256-level Gray], or [24-bit Color] is 
selected in [Color Mode] on the [Basic] tab sheet.
Other Functions●Rapid Recovery System
When this function is activated and a sensor detects a 
misfeed due to a paper jam or double feed, which causes 
feeding to stop, scanning pauses to allow you to correct 
the cause of the misfeed, after which scanning continues 
from the document page on which the abnormality was 
detected. (See “Handling Interruptions in Scanning” on 
p. 3-22.)*The Rapid Recovery System is effective when feeding 
stops as a result of detection of a Paper Jam, Double Feed, 
Skew, or Staple.
Options
●Imprinter (Option)
As an option, printing can be made on scanned 
documents.
●Barcode Detection (Option)
Barcodes on documents can be detected and decoded by 
installing the optional barcode module.
●Patchcode Support (Option)
By installing the optional patchcode decoder, patch 
code sheets inserted between document pages can be 
detected for batch separation. (See “Using Patchcode 
Sheets (Option)” on p. 3-19.)
