Scanner Settings |
You can specify the scanning mode, scanning resolution, document size, and file size of the scanned image. You can also select to make advanced settings using the ScanGear MF.
[Select Source] Selects where the document is placed ([Platen Glass], [Document Feeder], or [Auto mode]). When [Auto mode] is selected, the document in the ADF is automatically scanned. If there is no document in the ADF, the document on the platen glass will be scanned. |
|||||||||||||||
[Scan Mode] Selects the scan mode. The scan modes you can select differ depending on the MF Toolbox button you press.
|
|||||||||||||||
[Image Quality] Selects the scan quality (resolution). When scanning using the [Mail] button, the resolution you can select will depend on your setting in [Upper Limit of Attached File]. |
|||||||||||||||
[Paper Size] Selects the size of the document you will scan. If you wish to specify the width and height with a value, select [Custom] to display the [Paper Size Settings] dialog box. Select the [Unit], enter the [Width] and [Height], then click [OK]. |
|||||||||||||||
[Upper Limit of Attached File] Selects an approximate upper size limit (after compression) for the image you will send. (Depending on the image, some file sizes after compression may be larger than the value set.) For an ordinary mail message, a file size of [150 KB] is recommended. You cannot select this item when [PDF] is selected in [Save as Type]. |
|||||||||||||||
[Use the Scanner Driver to Make Advance Settings] If you check this checkbox and click [Start], the ScanGear MF dialog box will appear and you can make advanced settings for scanning. If you do not check this checkbox, scanning will begin immediately with the settings displayed. This option is not available when scanning using the [OCR] button. |
Saved Scanned Image to |
You can specify the file name, file format, and location to save the scanned image. When you select [PDF] as file format, you can also perform detailed settings for the PDF file.
[File Name] Enter a file name for the scanned image. If you try to save another file with the same name, four digits starting from 0001 will be attached after the file name. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
[Save as Type]
The type of file which can be saved with each button is shown below.
If you select [PDF] in [Save as Type], depending on the output settings in the Advanced Mode, an error message may appear indicating that the image size is too large. In such cases, reduce the [Output Size] and/or [Output Resolution] under [Output Settings] to reduce the [Data Size] of the scanned file. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
[Save Pictures to a Subfolder with Current Date] Check this checkbox to create a folder with the current date (e.g. 2004-12-31) in the specified location and save the scanned images in this folder. |
Linked Scanned Images to |
You can specify an application to be used to display the scanned image. If no name is displayed or you wish to change the application, click [Set], select the application you wish to use, then click [OK].
If the name of the application you wish to use does not appear in the [Mail] button, select [None (Attach Manually)]. In this case, you must open the image file in the application and attach the file manually.
The software is compatible with e-mail software such as Outlook Express, Microsoft Outlook, EUDORA, and Netscape Messenger.
If you do not want to select an application, click [Link Deletion] (available only with [OCR], [PDF], [Scan-1], and [Scan-2] buttons). When asked to confirm, click [Yes].

Confirmation of the Scanned Image and Exif Settings (Confirm Scanned Image) |
You can preview the scanned image as thumbnail images, and specify the file type and location to save them. You cannot use this function when scanning with the [OCR] button, and for the {PDF] button, only the confirmation of the scanned image is available.
Check the [Confirmation of the Scanned Image and Exif Settings] checkbox (for the [PDF] button, [Confirm the Scanned Image] checkbox), then click [Start]. When the scanning is complete, the thumbnail of the scanned image will be displayed. Confirm the thumbnail image, specify the file type and location, then press [Save] or [Foward].
[Save Scanned Image to] | Specifies the location to save the scanned image. |
[Save as Type] | Specifies the file type to save the scanned image. You can select from [JPEG/EXIF], [BMP], [TIFF], or [PDF]. The available file types are the same as those listed in [Save as Type] of the [Save Scanned Image to]. If you select [JPEG/EXIF], you can set the Exif information using [Exif Settings] dialog box. If you select [PDF], you can make advanced settings with the [PDF Settings]. |
[Save Pictures to a Subfolder with Current Date] | Check this checkbox to create a folder with current date inside the specified location and save the scanned images in this folder. |
[Add] | Press to scan other images to preview as thumbnails and save or forward all the scanned images at once. |
[Forward] | Press to forward the scanned images to the application you specified in the [Link Scanned Images to] settings. When scanning with the [Mail] button and [None (Attach Manually)] is selected for [Linked Scanned Images to], pressing [Forward] opens the folder where the scanned image is saved. |
[Save] | Press to save the scanned images in the specified location. This button appears instead of the [Forward] button when scanning with the [Save] button. |
Exif Settings
You can attach extra information in the EXIF format, such as the description of the image, the date the image was scanned, etc., to the JPEG files. Select a scanned image from the pull-down list to view and add information for the image.
[Basic Information] | Displays the information automatically acquired by scanning. |
[Advanced Information] | Displays the extra information you enter. Check the checkbox of the item you want to enter, specify a value, then click [Apply]. <note> You can enter only ASCII characters in "Description" and "Artist". |
[Apply the Same Setting of Input Items Automatically] | Check this checkbox to use the same values you have specified in the previous scanning operation. |
[OK] | Press to exit the Exif Settings. |
