Scan Menu Options for Scanning to a Folder

Note:

The items may not be available depending on other settings you made.

Image Type:

Select the color of the output image.

When you select the following, the scanner detects the color of the originals automatically and saves the images using the detected colors.

  • Color/Grayscale/B&W

    Converts the scanned image into 24-bit color, 8-bit gray, or monochrome (black and white binary). When this is selected, set the sensitivity to determine whether the original is grayscale or monochrome when scanning a non-color original.

  • Color/Grayscale:

    Converts the scanned image into 24-bit color or 8-bit gray.

  • Color/Black & White:

    Converts the scanned image into 24-bit color or monochrome (black and white binary).

The available image types may vary depending on the File Format you selected. See the following for more details.

Available File Format and Image Type combinations

File Format:

Select the format in which to save the scanned image.

When you want to save as PDF, PDF/A, or TIFF, select whether to save all originals as one file (multi-page) or save each original separately (single page).

  • Compression Ratio:

    Select how much to compress the scanned image.

  • PDF Settings:

    When you have selected PDF as the save format setting, use these settings to protect PDF files.

    To create a PDF file that requires a password when opening, set Document Open Password. To create a PDF file that requires a password when printing or editing, set Permissions Password.

Resolution:

Select the scanning resolution.

Scanning Side:

Select the side of the original you want to scan.

  • Binding(Original):

    Select the binding direction of the original.

Original Size:

Select the size of the original you placed.

  • Crop Margins for Size "Auto":

    Adjust the cropping area when selecting Auto Detect.

  • Scan laminated card:

    For laminated originals, transparent areas around the edges are also scanned.

Note:

The appropriate effects may not be achieved depending on the original.

Rotate:

Rotate the scanned image clockwise. Select the rotation angle depending on the original you want to scan.

Density:

Select the contrast of the scanned image.

Remove Background:

Remove the background color of the originals from the scanned image.

To use this feature, the background color of the originals should be the lightest color in the originals, and should be uniform. This feature is not applied correctly if there are patterns in the background, or there are text or illustrations which are a lighter color than the background.

Text Enhancement:

Make blurred letters in the original clear and sharp.

  • Edge Enhancement:

    You can enhance the text edges (the border between the text and the background).

    When you increase the value, the edges of thin text become black.

    Decrease the value if there is too much noise in the scanned image.

  • Threshold:

    You can adjust the borderline for monochrome binary (black or white).

    The black areas become larger when you increase the value, and the white areas become larger when you decrease the value.

  • Noise reduction level:

    You can adjust the level of noise reduction (unnecessary black dots).

    The higher the level, the more noise reduction is applied.

Remove Shadow:

Remove the shadows of the original that appear in the scanned image.

  • Frame:

    Remove the shadows at the edge of the original.

Correct Document Skew:

Correct skew in the scanned image.

This feature may not be able to correct documents that have been over skewed.

Skip Blank Pages:

Skip blank pages when scanning if there are any in the originals.

If the result is not what you expected, adjust detection level.

Note:
  • Some pages may be incorrectly skipped as blank pages.

  • This feature is not available when scanning double-sided originals that are stitched.

Automatic Feeding Mode:

Set Automatic Feeding Mode. This feature allows you to continue scanning automatically after the originals are scanned. This feature is useful when scanning different sizes or types of originals one by one.

Adjust the edge guides of the scanner before placing each original.

  • On (Full-Auto): Start scanning when an original is set while the continuation confirmation message is displayed.

  • On (Semi-Auto): Start scanning when the Start Scanning button is pressed while the continuation confirmation message is displayed.

Detect Double Feed:

Display a warning when multiple originals are fed at the same time.

  • Ultrasonic sensor: Detect a double feed using an ultrasonic sensor. You can specify the detection range.

  • Length: Detect a double feed by the length. When the length of the second original scanned is different from the first, this is identified as a double feed. You can specify the difference in length for detection.

File Name:
  • Filename Prefix:

    Enter a prefix for the name of the images in alphanumeric characters and symbols.

  • Add Date:

    Add the date to the file name.

  • Add Time:

    Add the time to the file name.
