Binarization

This is the process of converting a
grayscal e or color ima g e to a bi-tonal
image. There are several different
methods of perf orming this conversion.

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

Dynamic Threshold: Selecting
Dynamic Threshold allows the scanner

to dynamically evaluate each document
to determine the optimal threshold value
to prod uce 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

5-9

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 i mage by using
different size of dots. Halftone image looks
like the pi cture we have seen in the
newspaper. Options include Halft one 1,

Halftone 2, Halftone 3, Halftone 4,

Error Diffusion: Error Diffusion is a type

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

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 T r ue Color mode
consumes approximately 25 MB of disk
space. A higher resolution (usually means
over 600 dpi) is only recommended when
you need t o 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

5.3 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 a nd gra yscale images are often compressed using
JPEG technology. Move the JPEG Quality slider to the right or
left to incr ease or decrease the l evel of compression. Note the
greater the compression level, the lower image quality.
Default is 50%.

Note that the compression depends on y ou r 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 ( Joi nt Photographic Editor Group): This group deve loped
and lent their name to a file compression standa rd 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:
