Setting Basic Scanning Conditions

This section provides an overview of the basic setting items that are the minimum requirements when configuring the scanner settings.

Confirming Basic Conditions for Scanning

When you scan a document, make sure you confirm the [Color mode], [Page Size], [Dots per inch], and [Scanning Side] basic conditions in the Basic settings dialog box.

Color mode

Select the scanning mode.

• [Advanced Text Enhancement] and [Advanced Text Enhancement II] remove or process the background color and background surrounding text to enhance the text for easy reading. When [Advanced Text Enhancement II] is selected, you can make the text in scanned images easier to read by adjusting the contrast on the [Brightness] tab.
• [Detect automatically] detects whether the document is in color, grayscale, or black and white. You can configure advanced settings related to the detection method by clicking [Setting]. For details, see the Help.

Page Size

Select the page size that matches the document to be scanned.

If [Match original size] is selected, the edges of the document are detected and images that match the size of the document are saved.

Dots per inch

Select the scanning resolution.

Higher resolutions provide clearer images but result in larger file sizes and slower scanning.

When [Detect automatically] is specified, the resolution is detected automatically from the content printed in the document.

Scanning Side

Select which of the sides of the document to scan.

If the scanning side is set to [Skip Blank Page], the images of blank pages are deleted when images are saved.
