Color and Grayscale Support
The scanner is capable of scanning a document in 24-bit color or 256-level grayscale.
Two-Sided Scanning

Auto Color Detection
The scanner detects whether the scanned document is in color, grayscale, or black and white, and saves the image accordingly.
Full Auto Mode

Auto Resolution Detection
When enabled in the CaptureOnTouch Lite, CaptureOnTouch or scanner driver settings, this function detects the content of documents and determines the scanning resolution automatically.
Document Size Auto Detection
This feature enables automatic detection of the page size of a scanned document. The space around the edges of documents can be omitted during scanning, even for non-standard size documents.
Deskew
Even if a document is slanted when fed into the scanner, the scanned image can be straightened.
Text Enhanced Mode
Advanced Text Enhancement II is provided to improve the readability when scanning documents in which the background is uniform and the text and background are light.

Picture Mode
The [Correct for picture quality image] features compensates for underexposed and overexposed images for photo-quality scans with finer gradation.
