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.

User’s Manual

Fixed Processing: Used for black-and-

white and other high contrast documents. A

single level is set to determine the black-

and-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.
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.

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 technol

ogy. 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:

 None
 JPEG

For scanning B&W images, the following compressions are

available:

 None

Intelligent Mode (Skip Multi-Feed) By Ultrasonic
Detection

Some documents which are glued with a photo or a label may

multi-feed conditions. In t his case, you can use the intelligen t
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.

User’s Manual

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

To use the intelligent mode,

1. Choose your desired multi-feed detecting method to

bypass by.

2. When multi-feed occurs during scanning , a multi-feed

warning message appears.

3. Choose OK to skip the multi-feed condition from next
