and skips saving any image it determines to be a blank page.
 You can adjust the sensitivity of the Skip Blank Page option 
under [Contents detection sensitivity].
 The initial value for the Skip Blank Page option is set to “90.” 
As you lower the value from the default setting, pages of the

OCR (Optical Character Recognition)
When OCR is set to [ON], the scanner performs character 
recognition on textual portions of the document, and 
embeds the detected characters as editable text 
information in the PDF file.
Hint
When you set OCR to [ON], make sure to select the OCR 
language that matches the document text.
Encryption
Apply security to the PDF file.
IMPORTANT
Using the High (128-bit RC4) level setting is recommended. The 
Low (40-bit RC4) level setting provides less security.

Detailed settings 
IMPORTANT
The [Double feed detection by Ultrasonic] setting only appears 
when using the ScanFront 300P/330.
Brightness (Front)
Adjusts the brightness of the image to be scanned.
Brightness (Back)
Enabled for duplex scanning. Use this option when the 
front and back sides of a document are shaded differently. 
To change the brightness settings for the front and back 
sides, clear the [Same as front] check box.
Contrast (Front)
Adjusts the contrast of the image to be scanned.
Contrast (Back)
Enabled for duplex scanning. Use this option when the 
front and back sides of a document are shaded differently. 
To change the contrast settings for the front and back sides, 
clear the [Same as front] check box.
Double feed detection by Ultrasonic (Only 
available with the ScanFront 300P/330)
The scanner uses an ultrasonic sensor to detect when two 
or more documents are fed together, and stops feeding 
when a double feed is detected.
IMPORTANT
 This method is effective when documents overlap by 1.97 
(50 mm) or more. It does not function if only a slight portion of 
the document is overlapping.
 When [Scanning Side] is set to [Folio], [Double feed detection 
by Ultrasonic] cannot be selected.
Double feed detection by length
The scanner detects by document length when two or more 
documents are fed together, and stops feeding when a 
double feed is detected. 
						

							6-26
Chapter 6   Web Menu (Administrator Mode)
IMPORTANT
 Using the length of the first document page as a reference, the 
scanner detects a double feed when a subsequent page is 
longer or shorter than the reference page by 1.38 (35 mm) or 
more.
 Set [Double feed detection by length] to [OFF] when scanning 
a document that contains pages of different lengths.
Document orientation
Rotates the scanned image to the specified angle.
Hint
When [Auto] is selected, the scanner detects text orientation 
within the document and rotates the image so that the 
orientation of the text is correct.
IMPORTANT
The scanning speed may be reduced when [Auto] is selected.
Deskew
Detects when a document has been fed askew from the 
scanned image, and then straightens the image.
 Prefer Quality
Image processing is performed to minimize the loss of 
quality of an image that has deteriorated as result of 
deskewing. 
 Prefer Speed
The image deteriorates slightly as a result of deskewing. 
IMPORTANT
If you select [Prefer Quality], the scanning speed is reduced. If 
you are scanning a large number of pages, select [Prefer 
Speed] to prevent a decrease in scanning speed.
Bleed-through reduction
Eliminates bleed-through images, in which images on the 
reverse side of a scanned document appear on the scanned 
page, such as when scanning thin documents with text or 
images on both sides.
IMPORTANT
The bleed-through reduction setting is disabled when the 
scanning mode is set to [Text enhance].
Hint
When using bleed-through reduction, adjust the bleed-through 
reduction level to match the type of document.
Color drop-out
The color drop-out function has a “drop-out” effect that 
leaves out a specified color (red, blue, or green) while 
scanning, and a “color enhancement” effect that 
emphasizes a specified color.
IMPORTANT
The color drop-out setting is disabled when the scanning mode 
is set to [Color].
Hint
The OCR recognition rate is sometimes improved by deleting 
colored ruled lines and other objects with the color drop-out 
function. 
❏Copying Job Buttons
You can copy the settings of a job button and register it as 
a new job button.
Hint
