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.
Two of the options are Dynamic

Threshold and Fixed Processing.
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.

Fixed Processing: Used for black-and­white 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.

Quality When you choose “Gray” to be your

image type, the “Binarization” item will
be changed to “Quality” and its option
includes “High” and “Normal”. Choose
“High” to enhance your image and make
your image look brighter.

4-8

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.

200 dpi,
Threshold:80,
Brightness: 0

Brightness

Contrast

Adjusts the lightness or darkness of an
image. The higher the value, the brighter
the image. Drag the slider to the right or
left to increase or decrease the brightness.

The range is from –100 to +100.

Adjusts the range between the darkest and
the lightest shades in the image. The
higher the contrast, the bigger the different
grayscale. Drag the slider to the right or
left to increase or decrease the contrast.

The range is from –100 to +100.

4-10

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.

Resolution: 75 dpi

Resolution: 150 dpi

4-11

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.

Scan
Source

Choice:
Auto Document Feeder: Used to scan multiple

pages.
Flatbed: Used to scan a single page. For
example, pages from newspaper clipping, paper
with wrinkles or curls.
Flatbed (book): Used to scan several inside
pages from book.
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.

Note the options vary based on type of scanner.

4-17

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 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:

y None
y G4

bottom or right and left (Options vary based on the type of
scanner) of the edge of the image. This is used to reduce
possible corner clipping on the skewed images and often
applied to a batch of skewed document to be scanned in
the auto document feeder. Select a value between 0 and
+5 mm. Note the overscan result will not be shown in the
Display window and that the availability of the function
varies based on type of scanner.

adhesives on documents, or electro-statically charged
document. Note： The availability of the function varies

based on type of scanner.

Additional Length Detection

Additional Length Detection allows you to define the length
of document being multi-fed. This value indicates t he
additional length exceeding your scan area. The Display
window will show the size of the document as you ch ange
the value. A value of 0 indicates no additional length
detection. The Additional Length Detection is best used
when scanning same-size documents in the auto document
feeder.

4.5.3 RELATIVE TO DOCUMENT

Relative to Document: (used for batches of same-sized
documents)

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 procedure describes how to reproduce the
entire document in B&W and a portion of document (picture)
in color.

1. On the Paper tab, choose “Relative to Document” or
“Fixed to Transport” from the Cropping option.

2. Choose your scan size from the Scan Area option. The
selected scan size will be displayed in a red rectangular
box. This is also the scan size of your entire document.
(For example, ISO B5. If you have not chosen a scan
area and leave the selection as None, then the default
area will be the scanner’s maximum.)

Setting

z Batch Scan

To increase the scanning speed, the
scanner first scans a few pages of your
document and then sends these scanning
data to the application. Therefore, during

scanning, the numbers of pages been

scanned on the scanner is somehow
different with the numbers of pages
displayed on your computer screen.
Choose this mode if you wish to complete
your scanning task at the fastest speed.

z Page Scan

If you choose Page Scan, during scanning,
the scanner will first scan only one page of
your document and then send the scanned
data to the application and then scan the
next page and send the next data to the
application, and so on. Therefore, in this
mode, the scanning speed is slower yet this
helps to keep the same scanning progress
between the scanner and your computer
screen.

8. TROUBLESHOOTING

If you have problems with the operation of your scanner,
please check the following troubleshooting hints.

8.1 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Question: When the scanner is powered on, it makes

noises and won’t stand ready.

Answer: There are two possibilities:

1) You might fail to push the scanner shipping

lock to its “use” position. If this is the case, pull
the scanner status switch to its “use” position
first.

2) The scanner is not placed on an even, flat

desktop surface. This may cause the scanner to
malfunction.

Question: The scanner is powered on, but the lamp does

not light up.

Answer: The lamp is probably out of order. Contact your

local dealer or distributor to replace the lamp.
For your information, the average life time of the
lamp is about 15,000 hours and the operating
temperature for the scanner is between
10°C(50°F)

and 40°C(104°F).

8-1

Question: While scanning, the scanner often makes noises,

or it scans back and forth.

Answer: Usually this means the memory of your computer

is not enough or the speed of your CPU too slow.
Please try to increase your memory to at least
32M or replace your CPU with Pentium or later.

Question: Why is it that the scanned image always

comes out to be too dark?

Answer: 1) Modify the Gamma setting to1.8~2.2 for your

monitor and, when printing, set the Gamma
setting to 2.2 for your printer.

2) Adjust the Brightness setting from the TWAIN

user interface to get a brighter image.

Question: The scanner works well except for the line art

image. The lines in the image seem to be much
thicker than the original one.

Answer: Increase the Brightness or adjust the Threshold

setting to improve line art image.
