the sensitivity value by moving the bar to the left to let these
images to be detected as B&W. The value ranges from 1 to 30.
The default is 20.

4-7

4.2.2 Other Image Options

Binarization

This is the process of converting a
grayscale or color image to a bi-tonal
image. There are several different
methods of performing this conversion.

Options: Dynamic Threshold, Fixed
Processing, Halftone 1~5, Error
Diffusion.

Dynamic Threshold: Selecting
Dynamic Threshold allows the scanner

to dynamically evaluate each document
to determine the optimal threshold value
to produce the highest quality image.
This is used to scan mixed document
containing faint text, shaded background,
or color background with a single setting.
If Dynamic Threshold is selected,
Threshold, Brightness, and Contrast are
not available.

Sensitivity of Dynamic Threshold

Occasionally your scanned image may
contain small dots or speckles. To remove
these spots, increase the sensitivity value
by moving the bar to the right. The value
ranges from 1 to 30. The default is 20.

4-8

Fixed Processing: Used for black-and­white and other high contrast documents. A
single level is set to determine the black­and-white transition. The threshold is
programmable over the entire density
range. Fixed Processing sets Contrast to

0. If Fixed Processing is selected,
Contrast is not available.

Halftone: In addition to the black and
white display, Halftone can present a
somehow gray shade of image by using
different size of dots. Halftone image looks
like the picture we have seen in the
newspaper. Options include Halftone 1,

Halftone 2, Halftone 3, Halftone 4,
Halftone 5.

Error Diffusion: Error Diffusion is a type

of Halftone. Error Diffusion gives good
image texture and makes text in images
more readable than Halftone.

Halftone Image

4-9

Error Diffusion Image

4-10

Threshold Used to convert a grayscale image to a

bi-tonal image. The value ranges from 0 to

255. A low threshold value produces a
lighter image, and can be used to subdue
backgrounds and subtle, unneeded
information. A high threshold value produces
a darker image, and can be used to help pick
up faint images.
Adjust the threshold setting by dragging the
Threshold sliding bar to the left or right to
achieve the desired threshold setting.

Gray
Document Type: Choice: Normal, Photo, Document

Three options of document type are provided when you choose
Gray as the image type for your scanned document. Choice:
Normal, Photo, Document.

• Document: Choose Document if your original contains

pure text or a mixture of text and graphic since it is an
optimal setting for regular business document. When
using Document, only Threshold can be adjusted.

• Photo: Choose Photo if your original contains photo to

reproduce your photo in vivid grayscale image. When
using Photo, no Threshold and Contrast can be adjusted.

• Normal: When using Normal, Threshold, Brightness, and

Contrast can be adjusted.

Threshold: The value ranges from 0 to 255. The default is

230. A low threshold value produces a lighter image, and can

be used to subdue backgrounds and subtle, unneeded
information. A high threshold value produces a darker image,
and can be used to help pick up faint images. Adjust the
threshold setting by dragging the Threshold sliding bar to the
left or right to achieve the desired threshold setting.

Resolution

A good control of the resolution results a
good detail of an image that scans. The
resolution is measured by dots per inch
(dpi). Normally, the greater the dpi number,
the higher the resolution and the image file
size. Be aware that greater resolution takes
more time to scan, and more disk space for
the scanning image. For your information,
an A4 size color image scanned at 300 dpi at
True Color mode consumes approximately 25
MB of disk space. A higher resolution
(usually means over 600 dpi) is only
recommended when you need to scan a
small area at True Color mode.

Choose a resolution value from the drop
down list. The default value is 200 dpi.
Available resolutions are 75, 100, 150,
200,300, 400 and 600. Or you may choose
your desired value by clicking the box in the
right side of the drop down list and press the
arrow key to select your desired value and
then click the Add button to include it in the
drop down list. Note: The resolution is up to
300 dpi if an imprinter or a MICR reader is
installed or connected to the scanner.

Resolution: 75 dpi

Resolution: 150 dpi

4-15

Invert Reverses the brightness and the colors in the

image. The default setting is Black on a White
background. Reverse mode is White on a Black
background. For color images, each pixel will be
changed into its complementary color at the
command of Invert.

example, pages from newspaper clipping,
paper with wrinkles or curls.

y Flatbed (book): Used to scan several

inside pages from book.

y Automatic: Allow the scanner automatically

set its scan source. If Automatic is selected
and there is document in both the auto
document feeder (ADF) and the flatbed, then
the scan source will be automatically set to
ADF. If Automatic is selected and there is
document only in flatbed, then the scan
source will be set to flatbed.

y Merge Two Sides into One Image:

If you have a sheet-fed duplex scanner with
front input tray, you can scan an A3 size
document with an innovative method. Thus,
fold your A3 size document into A4, and then
load the paper in the front tray. Choose
Merge Two Sides from the Scan Source
option and then the scanner is able to scan
both sides of your document and merge two
A4 images into one A3 image.

When you select Merge Two Sides into One

Image, the Cropping or Multi-feed function
will be disabled.

Note the options vary based on type of
scanner.

4-22

4.3 The Compression Tab

The Compression tab allows you to compress your scanned
image and choose the level of compression. Bi-tonal images
are normally compressed using CCITT standard called Group 4
(G4). Color and grayscale images are often compressed using
JPEG technology. Move the JPEG Quality slider to the right or
left to increase or decrease the level of compression. Note the
greater the compression level, the lower image quality. Default
is 50%.

Note that the compression depends on your image editing
application. If your image editing application does not support
the type of compression format, then either a warning message
will appear or the image quality of the compressed file will not
be acceptable.

JPEG (Joint Photographic Editor Group): This group developed
and lent their name to a file compression standard for color and
grayscale images that is widely used by scanners, and software
applications. On Microsoft Windows-based systems, a file with
