Set up your scanner

a Open the Top Cover (1), pull the Cover Extension (2) out and then unfold the Document Guides (3).

b Pull the Output Tray (1) out of the machine and then unfold the Document Stopper (2).

Scan Preparation

IMPORTANT

NOTE

Load documents

• The ADF can hold up to 100 pages and feeds each sheet individually. Use 80 g/m2 paper and always fan the pages before placing them in the ADF.

• DO NOT pull on the document while it is feeding.

• DO NOT use paper that is curled, wrinkled, folded, ripped, stapled, paper-clipped, pasted, or taped.

• DO NOT try to scan cardboard or fabric.

• Make sure documents that have ink or correction fluid on them are completely dry.

• Certain types of plastic cards may be scratched when scanned. To prevent damage to the card, we recommend using the Carrier Sheet.

• If misfeeds frequently occur when you scan thin sheets, reduce the number of documents held in the ADF, and then start scanning again.

Loading documents

a Fan the pages several times along both the long edge and the short edge.

b Adjust the Document Guides (1) to fit the width of your document.

Scan Preparation

NOTE

Slide up the Document Guide Stopper (1) and extend the Document Guide (2) when you set the documents with punch holes such as continuous form paper.

c Set your document, face down, top edge first in the ADF between the Guides until you feel it touch the

inside of the machine.

 For plastic cards: Set your document, face down and short side first in the ADF between the Guides until

you feel it touch the inside of the scanner. Load only one plastic card at a time.

 For documents longer than Letter/A4 size: Support the document with your hand if the document is longer

than the Top Cover. Load only one document at a time.

Scan Preparation

NOTE

Loading multiple differently-sized documents

To scan multiple pages that are different sizes, follow these steps:

Make sure that the narrowest document is wide enough to touch the ADF’s feed rollers, to avoid a document jam.

a Stack the documents on top of each other, making sure that the top edge and the left side of each

document is aligned.

b Adjust the Document Guides (1) to fit the width of the largest document.

c Set the documents, face down, top edge first in the ADF between the Guides until you feel it touch

the inside of the machine.

Image Selection check boxes

Select the check boxes to customize the scan type. The Image Selection check box(es) are used to select the color mode with which the front or back of your document will be scanned. For example, to scan both the front and back of a color document page in color, select the Front Color and Back Color check boxes. For a black and white scan of the front and a color scan of the back, select Front B&W and Back Color.

• Select more than one image type check box to generate multiple scan results from a single scan. For example, if you select Front Color and Front Gray, and then scan your document, scan data in both color and gray is saved.

• If you select Front Auto Color Detection, you must select Back Auto Color Detection as a back image type, and vice versa. These two options work only with each other.

Image Selection group

The Image Selection group lets you configure detailed settings used when scanning in each color mode. Select an image type and customize detail settings. You can apply different settings to each image type.

Image Type Description

Color Select Color if your original is in color and you want an exact copy.

Gray Select Gray if your original contains shades of gray.

B&W Select B&W if your original is typed, written in pencil, or written in pen.

Auto Color Detection Select Auto Color Detection to automatically detect and scan the front or back of your color

document. If your document is in color, the scanner will automatically scan the document as a color image. If your document is not in color, choose either Black and White or Gray from the Non-Color Selection drop-down list. Use this option if your document is multi-page and includes both color and black and white.

Binarization / Document Type / Non-Color Selection

This field name changes based on your choice in the Image Selection group.

 Binarization (B&W mode only)

Binarization is the process of converting a grayscale or color image into a black and white image. There are several methods of performing this conversion.

Dynamic Threshold Select Dynamic Threshold to allow the scanner to dynamically evaluate each document

to produce the highest quality image. Select this option to scan documents containing faint text, shaded background, or color background. If you select Dynamic Threshold:

Threshold, Brightness, and Contrast are not available.

Fixed Processing Select Fixed Processing 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. If you select Fixed Processing, Contrast is not available.

Halftone 1-5 Select Halftone to view a gray image composed of different-sized dots. In other

machines, this is sometimes called “Grayscale”.

Scan (Windows®)

Conversion Methods Description

Error Diffusion Select Error Diffusion for a type of Halftone. Error Diffusion results in good image

texture and makes text in images more legible than Halftone 1-5, above.

Halftone Diffusion

 Document Type (Gray mode only)

When you select Gray as the image type for your scanned document, you can choose from three document types.

Document Type Description

Document Select Document if your original contains only text or a mixture of text and graphics. This

is the optimal setting for regular business documents.

Photo Select Photo if your original contains a photograph, to reproduce it in a vivid grayscale

image.

Normal Select Normal to adjust Brightness and Contrast manually.

Document

Photo Normal

(Threshold: 230)

 Non-Color Selection (Auto Color Detection mode only)

If your document is non-color, you can choose the output to be either Black and White or Gray. This option is useful when you scan a combination of color and non-color documents.

Scan (Windows®)

Sensitivity / Threshold

 Sensitivity (available when you select Dynamic Threshold or Auto Color Detection)

Sensitivity of Dynamic Threshold: If your document contains small dots or speckles and you want to remove them, increase the sensitivity value by moving the bar to the right.

Sensitivity of Auto Color Detection: If your document contains primarily black and white text with a small amount of light or pale color that you do not want to be recognized as color, reduce the sensitivity value by moving the bar to the left.

 Threshold (available when you select Fixed Processing or Document)

A low threshold value produces a lighter image, and can be used to subdue backgrounds and unneeded information. A high threshold value produces a darker image, and can be used to help faint images stand out.

Brightness

Use the Brightness bar to lighten or darken an image. The greater the value, the clearer the image.

Contrast

Use the Contrast bar to adjust the range between the darkest and the lightest shades in the image. The greater the value, the greater the difference between light and dark.

Resolution (dpi)

Select a resolution value from the drop-down list. The greater the value, the higher the resolution, and larger the file size.

You can set a custom resolution value by clicking the button to the right of the drop-down list.

Invert

Use Invert to reverse the brightness and the colors in the image. The default setting is Black on White background. To reverse this, select White on Black.
