Setting Basic Scanning Conditions
This section provides an overview of the basic setting items that are 
the minimum requirements when configuring the scanner settings.
Confirming Basic Conditions for 
Scanning
When you scan a document, make sure you confirm the [Color mode], 
[Page Size], [Dots per inch], and [Scanning Side] basic conditions in 
the Basic settings dialog box.
Color mode
Select the scanning mode.
 [Advanced Text Enhancement] and [Advanced Text Enhancement 
II] remove or process the background color and background 
surrounding text to enhance the text for easy reading. When 
[Advanced Text Enhancement II] is selected, you can make the text 
in scanned images easier to read by adjusting the contrast on the 
[Brightness] tab. [Detect automatically] detects whether the document is in color, 
grayscale, or black and white. You can configure advanced settings 
related to the detection method by clicking [Setting]. For details, see 
the Help.
Page Size
Select the page size that matches the document to be scanned.
If [Match original size] is selected, the edges of the document are 
detected and images that match the size of the document are saved. 
						

							53
Dots per inch
Select the scanning resolution.
 Higher resolutions provide clearer images but result in larger file 
sizes and slower scanning.
 When [Detect automatically] is specified, the resolution is detected 
automatically from the content printed in the document.
 The [Moire Reduction] setting in the [Image processing] tab is 
enabled when the resolution is 300 dpi or lower, while the [Image 
Quality] setting is enabled when the resolution is set to 400 dpi or 
600 dpi.
Scanning Side
Select which of the sides of the document to scan.
If the scanning side is set to [Skip blank page], the images of blank 
pages are deleted when images are saved.
Image Quality
Select the scanning quality for images.
This can be configured when [Dots per inch] is set to [400 dpi] or 
[600 dpi]. 
						

							54
 When [Speed priority] is selected, a 400-/600-dpi image is generated 
from the image scanned at 300 dpi. The scanning speed will be 
faster, but the quality will be slightly reduced.
 When [Image quality priority] is selected, documents will always be 
scanned at 600 dpi. When [Dots per inch] is set to [400 dpi], a 400-
dpi image will be generated from the image scanned at 600 dpi. The 
scanning speed will be slightly reduced.
Scanning Documents of Unregistered 
Page Sizes
You can register a non-standard page size that has not been 
registered as a page size by naming and registering it as a custom 
page size in the Custom Paper Size dialog box, which is opened from 
the [Save] button on the [Basic] tab.
Specifying the Scan Area
Configure the following settings when you want to specify the area of 
the document to be scanned.
Specifying an area
Specify the area of the document to be scanned in the Scan Area 
dialog box, which is opened from the [Area] button on the [Basic] tab. 
						

							55
Configuring Scanner Settings According 
to Purpose
Set the scanning conditions according to the scanning purpose.
When you want to delete the images of the blank pages in 
two-sided documents
Set the scanning side setting to [Skip Blank Page] on the [Basic] tab 
to delete the images of the blank pages in the document.
If [Skip Blank Page] is selected, the [Setting] button is enabled, and 
you can adjust the level for judging whether pages are blank.
When you do not want to scan colored lines and text
Specify the color (red, green, blue, all colors) to be ignored (dropped 
out) in the color drop-out settings on the [Image processing] tab, and 
that color will be removed from the scanned image.
When you want to enhance a particular color
Specify the color (red, green, blue) to be enhanced in the color drop-
out settings on the [Image processing] tab, and that color will be 
enhanced in the scanned image. 
						

							56
When you want to enhance contours in images
Adjust the edge emphasis setting on the [Image processing] tab.
When you want to make lines and text in scanned images 
thicker or thinner
Drag the [Character Emphasis] slider in the [Image processing] tab to 
make lines and text in the scanned images thicker or thinner.
When you want to enhance text that is difficult to read 
because of factors such as the background of the 
scanned document
Select [Advanced Text Enhancement] or [Advanced Text 
Enhancement II] in the mode setting on the [Basic] tab. The 
background behind the text is removed or processed so that the text 
is emphasized for better readability.
 Advanced Text Enhancement is suitable for a document with a light 
background color or a document with a non-uniform background 
(such as a pattern). If the background is uniform, it is removed where 
it surrounds the text, and if the background is non-uniform, it is 
processed to enhance text readability.
 Advanced Text Enhancement II is suitable for scanning a document 
with a uniform background color and light text and background. If the 
background is non-uniform, such as a pattern, the background may 
not be able to be completely removed and the text may become 
difficult to read. If necessary, you can make the text in scanned 
images easier to read by adjusting the contrast on the [Brightness] 
tab. 
						

							57
When you want to detect multiple pages fed at the same 
time
Select the [Double Feed Detection] check box on the [Feeding] tab. 
You can enable either one or both of [Detect by Ultrasonic] and 
[Detect by Length].
When you want to match the orientation of images to the 
text when scanning a mixture of pages with different text 
orientations
Select [Text orientation recognition] in [Document Orientation] on the 
[Others] tab. The text orientation on each page is detected, and the 
scanned image is rotated in 90-degree increments to correct the 
orientation.
When you want to rotate the images of a document placed 
horizontally to correct the orientation
Specify the rotation angle in [Document Orientation] on the [Others] tab. 
						

							58
When you want to use batch separation for scanning
When you want to divide and scan a document, you can separate a 
batch at the timing with which each next document is placed and 
scanned. (Only enabled for applications that support batch 
separation.) In this case, set the scanner driver as follows.
 Set [Feeding Option] on the [Feeding] tab to [Panel-Feeding] or 
[Automatic Feeding].
 Set [Batch Separation] on the [Others] tab to [Auto].
When [Batch Separation] is set to [Auto], the batch is separated after 
the next document is placed and scanning is continued. When [Patchcode] is set, batch separation can be performed by using 
a patchcode. (See p. 62)
When [Blank Page] is set, batch separation is performed when an 
image of a blank page is inserted.
Hint
 When [Batch Separation] is set to [Patchcode] or [Blank Page], [New 
File] cannot be specified for [Increment Trigger] and [Reset Trigger] 
under [Counter] in the [Imprinter / Addon Dialog] tab.
 When [Increment Trigger] or [Reset Trigger] is set to [New File] 
under [Counter] in the [Imprinter / Addon Dialog] tab, [Patchcode] or 
[Blank Page] cannot be specified for [Batch Separation].
When you want to use multistream settings for scanning
Multi-stream allows you to output multiple different scanned images 
with a single scan operation, and output scanned images with different 
scanning conditions for each of the front and back pages (multistream 
settings).
When you want to use the multistream settings for scanning, select 
the [Use MultiStream] checkbox on the [Others] tab to display the 
setting items related to multistream, and then configure the setting 
items in the following order. 
						

							59
AWhen you want to specify different scanning conditions for the front 
and back pages of a document, select [Skip Blank Page] or [Both] 
for [Scanning Side] on the [Basic] tab in advance.
BSpecify the number of scanning conditions to apply in [Stream 
count of Front]. Up to three can be specified.
CSelect [Front 1st], and then open the other tabs and set the 
scanning conditions. Depending on the value specified for [Stream 
count of Front], configure the remaining [Front 2nd] and [Front 3rd] 
in the same way.
DWhen specifying the scanning conditions of the back, configure the 
settings in the same way as described in B to C. In this case, 
specify [Stream count of Back], and then set the scanning 
conditions for each of [Back 1st] to [Back 3rd].
Hint
The following shows the setting conditions that can be set in the 
multistream settings.
To scan barcodes
Installing a barcode module (optional) allows you to scan barcodes in 
the document. Click the [Barcode] button on the [Others] tab to 
configure barcode scanning conditions.
See Help for details about settings.
When you want to remove dots and notches that appear 
in documents
You can remove dots and notches protruding from object outlines that 
appear in documents from scanned images.
 Select the [Erase Dot] check box to automatically remove isolated 
black dots (3 x 3 dot size) from white backgrounds (or white dots 
from black backgrounds). Tab Items that can be set
