Show Folder
Select this option to automatically display the destination folder after scanning.
Show Save As Window
Select this option if you want to specify the destination of the scanned image every time you scan.
File size
Adjust the data compression ratio of the scanned image. Change the file size by moving the File size slider to the right or left.
PreScan
Select PreScan to preview your image and crop unwanted portions before scanning.
Resolution
Select a scanning resolution from the Resolution drop-down list. Higher resolutions take more memory and transfer time, but produce a finer scanned image.
Scan Type
Select from a range of scan colour depths.
  • Auto
    Use for any type of document. This mode automatically picks an appropriate colour depth for the document.
  • Black & White
    Use for text or line art images.
  • Gray (Error Diffusion)
    Use for photographic images or graphics. (Error Diffusion is a method for creating simulated grey images without using true grey dots. Black dots are put in a specific pattern to give a grey appearance.)
  • True Gray
    Use for photographic images or graphics. This mode is more accurate because it uses up to 256 shades of grey.
  • 24bit Color
    Use to create an image with the most accurate colour reproduction. This mode uses up to 16.8 million colours to scan the image, but it requires the most memory and has the longest transfer time.
Document Size
Select the exact size of your document from the Document Size drop-down list.
  • If you select 1 to 2 (A4), the scanned image will be divided into two A5-size documents.
Brightness
Set the Brightness level by dragging the slider to the right or left to lighten or darken the image. If the scanned image is too light, set a lower brightness level and scan the document again. If the image is too dark, set a higher brightness level and scan the document again. You can also type a value into the field to set the Brightness level.
Contrast
Increase or decrease the Contrast level by moving the slider to the right or left. An increase emphasizes dark and light areas of the image, while a decrease reveals more details in grey areas. You can also type a value into the field to set the Contrast level.
Continuous Scanning
Select this option to scan multiple pages from the flatbed or ADF. After a page is scanned, either continue scanning or finish. Use this method to scan more pages than the maximum ADF capacity.
ID Card Scan

Select this check box to scan both sides of the identification card onto one page.

Advanced Settings
Configure advanced settings by clicking the Advanced Settings button in the Scan Settings dialog box.
  • Remove Background Color
    Remove the base colour of documents to make the scanned data more legible. Choose from three settings: high, medium, and low.

    (available only for the Auto, True Gray and 24bit Color options)

Default
Select this option to restore all settings to their factory setting values.
