command of Invert.
Advance Settings:
The Advance Settings provide several functions such as
Dynamic Background Removal and Color Drop-out.These
functions are briefly explained as below:
1). DBR(Dynamic Background Removal) - Apply exclusively
when you need to scan as an Lineart image . The DBR
function incorporates a few enhanced options to allow you to
remove background color to sharpen your text or drawing.
5-7
Original(Color picture) After applying DBR option
2). Color drop-out - Apply exclusively when you need to
scan as a black and white image
The Color drop-out function allows you to remove one of the
R(Red), G(Green), or B(Blue) color or to convert all the color
data into Neutral Gray. For example, if you want to remove
the text or background in blue color, simply check the Blue
Channel then the text or background in blue color will be
removed. On the other hand, if your original contains various
color data, then check the Neutral Gray to retain all the color
data in gray since removing either one of the red, green, or
blue color will inadvertently affect the rest color data as every
color contains different elements of each of the red, green, and
blue channel. See the result below:

scanned image. Or you can select speed mode

6. MAINTENANCE
Cleaning:
The DS610CF is designed to be maintenance-free. However,
it still needs to be cleaned occasionally to ensure optimum
image quality and performance.
Procedure
1. Open the document cover as shown in Figure 6-1.
2. Dip a soft clean cloth with isopropyl alcohol (95%).
3. Gently wipe the document glass and the white sheet beneath
the document cover to remove the dust or any toner particles.
4. Close the document cover. The DS610CF is now ready for
use.

7. TROUBLESHOOTING
If you have any operational problem, please refer to the
following troubleshooting hints.
7.1 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Question: Why does the scanned image always come out to
be too dark?
Answer: 1) Modify the Gamma setting to 1.8 for your
monitor and, when printing, set Gamma to 2.2 for
your printer.
2) Use the Brightness setting of the TWAIN user
interface to get a brighter image.
Question: The scanning speed of my DS610CF is much
slower than that of those installed at other
computers. Can I speed it up?
Answer: Set you PC printer port to the ECP or EPP mode
from BIOS setting.
Question: Why does my DS610CF scan at a very low
speed?
Answer: If you have installed Works for Windows, it will
install Window Printing System (WPS) in your
WIN.INI file. This will take up the printer port time
remarkably. You can remove the WPS from your
WIN.INI file, as follows:

Works for DOS 2.0=Works for DOS 2.0, C:\WINDOWS\MSAPPS\TEXTCONV\workswin.con
Question: The printer does not print the documents. Why?
Answer: Pass-through printing may pose a problem for some
printers. It is suggested to add a second printer
card for printing purpose, or you may call your
authorized local dealer for further support.
Question: Does it take long for the DS610CF to initialize
itself ?
Answer: If your printer port supports SPP mode only, it
takes about two minutes for the DS610CF to
initialize itself. If your printer port supports ECP or
EPP mode, the initialization speed is much faster,
about 20 seconds.
-7-2
Question: Why my GDI printer does not work with the
DS610CF?
Answer: Disable the Auto Scan function in the application,
then your printer will function in normal working
condition.
Question: Why some parallel port devices and software’s
keypro do not work with the DS610CF?
Answer: The DS610CF do pass-through printing all right ,
but the pass-through printing may not work if you
connect the parallel port with devices other than
printer. Therefore, if you would like to connect
some parallel port devices other than printer, please
do not connect them to the same parallel port that
the DS610CF currently uses. It is suggested to
use other parallel ports to connect these devices or
keypro. For instance, you can connect the
DS610CF to LPT1, and connect other parallel port
devices to LPT2. Or you can add a data switch to
avoid the problem.

9.3 MAINTAINING THE ADF
9.3.1 CLEANING THE ADF
The DS610CF is designed to be maintenance free. However, it still
needs to be cleaned occasionally to ensure optimum image quality and
performance.
From time to time the pad assembly and feeding rollers may become
contaminated with ink, toner particles or paper dust. In this case the
DS610CF may not feed documents smoothly. If this occurs please
follow the cleaning procedures to return your Scanner to its original
state.
The cleaning procedures:
1. Moisten a cotton swab with isoprophyl alcohol (95%).
2. Gently open the ADF front cover. Wipe the feeding rollers by moving
the swab from side to side. Rotate the rollers forward with your finger
and repeat the above cleaning procedures until the rollers are clean.
Be careful not to snag or damage the pick springs.
3. Wipe the pad in the direction from top to bottom. Be careful not to
hook the pick springs.
4. Close the ADF unit. Your Scanner is now ready for use.
