items that can be set vary depending on the application program 
you are using. Specify the settings as necessary for the screen that 
is displayed.
■[Basic] Tab Sheet Types
The following types of Basic tab sheets can be displayed. 
Basic Tab (ISIS/TWAIN driver)
This [Basic] tab sheet is displayed for application 
programs such as CapturePerfect and Job Registration 
Tool.

■[Basic] Tab Sheet Settings
You can configure the following settings on the [Basic] tab 
sheet. 
User Preference
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.
IMPORTANT
Assigned names can consist of up to 32 characters (or 16 
double-byte characters).
Mode
Select the mode for scanned images.
Hint
 Some functionality is limited depending on the mode setting. 
(See “Mode-Dependent Function Limitations” on p. 8-10 and 
“[Brightness] Tab Sheet” on p. 8-12.)
 Advanced text enhancement modes are useful if you want to 
scan documents with a background color or design behind the 
text as black-and-white images, and remove or process the 
surrounding background to enhance the text for easy reading. 
 Two advanced text enhancement modes are provided to suit 
different background types. Select the mode that best suits 
your document. We recommend confirming the image by 
prescanning the first page.
 When saving an image file in JPEG format, select [256-level 
Gray] or [24-bit Color]. 
[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.
Hint
 If the background is uniform, it is removed where it surrounds 
the text.
 If the background is non-uniform, such as a pattern, it is 
processed to enhance text readability.
[Advanced Text Enhancement II]
This mode is displayed when the resolution is 300 dpi or 
lower, and is good for scanning documents with uniform 
background colors or light text and backgrounds.
Hint
 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 as a pattern, the 
background remains visible in the image, and text may be 
difficult to read.
[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.

lower quality, or set the scanning side to [Simplex]. 
Image Quality
When the scanning resolution is set to 400 or 600 dpi, you 
can enable this setting and select either [Speed Priority] or 
[Image Quality Priority].
[Speed priority]
This mode gives priority to scanning speed, and generates 
images of 400 or 600 dpi from images scanned at 300 dpi.
[Image quality priority]
This mode gives priority to image quality, and scans at 
600 dpi.
When the resolution is set to 400 dpi, images of 400 dpi are 
generated from images scanned at 600 dpi.
IMPORTANT
 Selecting [Speed priority] increases the scanning speed, but 
the image quality is reduced slightly.
 If [Image quality priority] is selected, [Auto-detection] is 
selected for the document size, the color mode is set to [24-bit 
Color], and the scanning side is [Duplex], the scanner may run 
out of memory and unable to scan the entire document. If this 
occurs, enable [Speed priority] and scan images of lower 
quality, or set the scanning side to [Simplex].

Chapter 8   ISIS/TWAIN Driver Settings
Area Window
The size indicated for the Area panel corresponds to the 
page size setting, and the area within the panel indicates 
the current scanning area.
Hint
 The scanning area can be adjusted by dragging the handles 
(■) bordering the Area panel with your mouse.
 With CapturePerfect, the last scanned image appears in the 
Area panel.
Margin
This control adjusts the top, bottom, left, and right margins 
around the scanning area so that you can expand the 
scanning area to include the edges of a document, or 
reduce it to avoid black frames around scanned images 
when you set the [Background Color] to [Black].
Hint
 If the edges of documents are missing from scanned images, 
move the slider to the right to expand the scanning area.
 To eliminate the black frame around scanned images, reduce 
the scanning area by moving the slider to the left.
 The measurement units for margins are determined by the 
[Unit] setting. However, changing the margin [Unit] setting is 
not possible on the advanced version of the [Basic] tab sheet 
(p. 8-5).
[Preview] Button (TWAIN driver only)
Load the document and then click the [Preview] button to 
scan one document page and display its preview image in 
the Area panel.
