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
User’s Manual
Fixed Processing: Used for black-and-
white 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.

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.

Resolution
User’s Manual
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.

Merge Two Sides from the Scan Source
option and then the scanner is able to scan
both sides of your document and merge two

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
the extension .jpg has normally been compressed using this
standard.
For scanning color or gray images, the following compressions
are available:
y None
y JPEG
For scanning B&W images, the following compressions are
available:

4.4 The Color Dropout Tab
4.4.1 Color Dropout Selection
Color Dropout tab allows you to drop either of the red, blue, or
green color in your scanned image. If your image contains red
color watermark or background, choose the R (Red) channel
then any red watermark or background will be removed. This
feature is used to sharpen your text when using OCR (Optical
Character Recognition) software.
The “Custom” option allows you to specify your desired color to
be removed by entering its RGB (Red, Green, and Blue) value
respectively.
Tolerance: Specify the allowable color range to be removed for
the color you selected. Specified range: 1 ~ 100
The large the numeric value, the wider the color dropout range
is.
Note that this function supports only black & white and gray
images. Therefore, be sure to choose any black & white or
gray image type while applying this function.

Filter
Threshold
This value is used to determine the color
which will be dropped out. A lower value will
drop more of the selected color out, while a
higher value will leave more of the selected
color in.
Background
Level
The pixel which is higher than the
background value will be adjusted to the
lightest point. Adjust the value for both the
Filter Threshold and Background Level to

Automatic
Multiple
This option allows you to place various
sized documents such as photos, ID Cards,
or business cards on the flatbed (if
available) and lets you create multiple
individually cropped images in one scan.
Note: To correctly create multiple images,
please make sure there is at least 12mm
(0.5”) of space between each document.
Relative to
Document
This option allows you to crop different
areas on your documents and deliver these
images in B&W, Gray, or Color separately.
For example, there are applications which
require you to store the entire document in
B&W and a part of the document in color to
save storage space. This is useful for
documents where a photograph or
signature appears in a consistent area on
the document such as resumes, and so on.
The following options are only available when Fixed to
Transport is selected.
y X-Offset — the distance from the left end of the
scanner to the left edge of the scanning area.
y Y-Offset — the position from the top end of the
document to the top end of the scanning area.
y Width — the width of the scanning area.
y Length — the length of the scanning area.
y Center: automatically calculates the x-offset for center-

Intelligent Mode (Skip Multi-Feed) By Ultrasonic
Detection
Some documents which are glued with a photo or a label may
easily be detected as multi-feed yet you wish to bypass these
multi-feed conditions. In this case, you can use the intelligent
mode to let the scanner memorizes and skips these multi-feed
conditions. Choice includes Disable, By
Length(Paper/Object), By Position, By
Length(Paper/Object)+Position.
By Length (Paper/Object): When a multi-feed is detected
for the first time, the scanner memorizes both the length of the
document and the length of the object (photo or label)
attached to the document. When you perform next scanning,
this pattern of multi-feed will be bypassed.
By Position: When a multi-feed is detected for the first time,
the scanner memorizes the position of the photo or label
attached to the document. When you perform next scanning,
this pattern of multi-feed will be bypassed.
4-39
By Length (Paper/Object)+Position: When a multi-feed is
detected for the first time, the scanner memorizes the length of
the document, the length and position of the object (photo or
label) attached to the document. When you perform next
scanning, this pattern of multi-feed will be bypassed.
To use the intelligent mode,
1. Choose your desired multi-feed detecting method to
bypass by.
2. When multi-feed occurs during scannin g , a multi-feed
warning message appears.
3. Choose OK to skip the multi-feed con dition from next
scanning and close the message.
4. Open your TWAIN data source in your scanning application.
The same multi-feed condition will not be recognized as

Note:
1. You can clear the previous multi-feed conditions by
clicking the Reset button.
2. The scanner can memorize to bypass up to 25 multi-feed
conditions.
3. If you uninstall your scanner driver, the previous multifeed conditions which have been set to memorize and skip
will still be valid.
