closed.
● Fast Document Feeding
Documents can be scanned at a speed of up to 40 pages per
minute (when scanning one-sided or two-sided documents of A4
size at 200 dpi).
● Two Eject Paths for Scanning a Variety of Documents
Use the space saving U-turn path to scan paper of standard
thickness, or use the straight path to scan cards and other thick
documents.
● High Image Quality
The 600 dpi optical resolution sensor incorporated in the scanner
enables documents to be scanned with high image quality.
● USB 2.0 Interface
The scanner supports Hi-Speed USB 2.0.
● Color/Grayscale Support
Documents can be scanned in 24-bit color or 256-level grayscale.
● Supports a Variety of Scanning Modes
The scanner supports the following scanning modes, depending on
the document type:
• Single-sided or double-sided scanning (with Skip Blank Page
function)
• Continuous or single sheet feed
● Card Scan
You can scan business or ID cards.
● Paper Size Detection
The scanner automatically detects the size of a scanned document
and eliminates any unnecessary space around the edges of the
image when storing the image, even when storing a document of
irregular size.
● Auto Color Detection
The scanner detects whether the scanned document is in color,
grayscale, or black and white, and saves the image accordingly.
● Full Auto Mode
A Full Auto Mode is provided in the supplied software,
CaptureOnTouch, to allow scanning under automatically
determined conditions. Scanning conditions such as the color mode
and page size are set automatically based on the document being
scanned.
● Auto Resolution Detection
When enabled in the CaptureOnTouch or scanner driver settings,
this function detects the content of documents and determines the
scanning resolution automatically.
● Folio Scan
You can scan folded documents. The scanner will scan both sides
and combine the scanned images into a single image.
● Deskew
The scanner straightens scanned images when it detects that the
document was placed askew.
● Ultrasonic Double Feed Detection
Ultrasonic waves are used to detect pages that are fed at the same
time, and scanning stops if a double feed is detected.
● Double Feed Detection Ignore
When a double feed is detected, the DFR button on the operation
panel is lit. You can continue scanning by pressing the DFR button.
● Text Enhancement Modes
The scanner is equipped with an Advanced Text Enhancement
Mode to enhance the text of documents with dark or uneven
backgrounds, and an Advanced Text Enhancement II mode to
enhance the text when both the text and background are light.

The scanner is equipped with a Color Drop-out function that
enables you to specify a color for the scanner to omit from the
scanned image during black and white or grayscale scanning.
● Skip Blank Page Function
The scanner is equipped with a Skip Blank Page function that
enables you to scan a document without storing images of blank
pages, regardless of whether each page of the document is twosided or one-sided. Both sides are scanned, but saving the image
is skipped for scan images judged to be from a blank page.
19
● Prescan Function
The scanner is equipped with a Prescan function that allows you to
adjust the contrast and brightness of a prescanned image and then
send the adjusted image to the application software, without
needing to scan the document again.
● Character/Line Emphasis Function
If characters and lines in scanned images are not clearly visible, you
can use this function to adjust their thickness during scanning.
● Skew Detection Function
The scanner automatically stops operation when documents are
fed at an excessive slant to prevent damage to documents.
● Start Scanning from the Operating Panel
You can start scanning by launching CaptureOnTouch with the

IMPORTANT
The documents to be scanned must satisfy certain criteria. Read the
following items carefully.
• When scanning multiple documents of different sizes, place the
documents so that they cover the entire span of the feed rollers by
aligning the centers and leading edges of the documents.
• It is recommended that documents exceeding 356 mm (14") size
are fed one sheet at a time.
• Scanning documents before the ink is dry can cause problems with
the scanner. Always make sure that the ink on a document is dry
before scanning it.
• Scanning documents that are written in pencil or similar material
may make the rollers and scanning glass dirty, which can lead to
smudges on the scanned image and transfer the dirt to subsequent
documents. Always clean the internal parts of the scanner after
scanning such documents.
• When scanning a two-sided document that is printed on thin paper,
the image on the opposite side of each page may show through. In
this case, adjust the scanning intensity in the application software
before scanning the document.

• Laminated documents may not be scanned correctly, depending
on the document.
• It is recommended that thin documents be fed one page at a time.
• Scanning the following types of documents can cause a paper jam
or malfunction. To scan such a document, make a photocopy of the
