Features of the Scanner

The main features of the P-215II document scanner are described below.

 Compact Size

The scanner has a compact size of 285 mm (W) x 40 mm (H) x 95 mm (D) (11.22" x 1.57" x 3.74") when the document feed tray is closed.

 Bus-Powered

Supporting USB 3.0 bus power, the scanner is capable of scanning at a speed of 15 black-and-white (grayscale) pages per minute and 10 24-bit color pages per minute using bus power via a single USB cable (200-dpi simplex scanning of A4 documents is assumed in both examples).

When using a USB 2.0 interface, high-speed scanning is still available through the additional use of the power supply USB cable or an AC adapter (sold separately).

 Auto Start Function

The CaptureOnTouch Lite software that comes preinstalled in the scanner can be started by turning ON the Auto Start switch on the rear panel. Connecting a computer to the scanner enables scanning even when the driver is not installed.

 Auto Power ON/OFF

This feature automatically turns the power ON or OFF when the feed tray is opened or closed.

 Equipped with Feeder

Up to 20 pages of a document can be loaded and then fed continuously, or one at a time.

 Wi-Fi connectivity

By connecting the optional WU10 to the scanner, you can operate the scanner and load document from a PC or other device with a wireless connection. You can also send scanned data directly to a smartphone, tablet PC, or other smart device with a wireless connection.

 Dedicated Card Slot

The scanner includes a dedicated slot for scanning plastic cards.

 CaptureOnTouch

When the bundled CaptureOnTouch software is installed, you can perform scanning with a variety of scanning methods, ranging from a normal scan, to a scan that involves a series of steps and which is performed by registering a job.

 Color and Grayscale Support

The scanner is capable of scanning a document in 24-bit color or 256-level grayscale.

 Two-Sided Scanning

The scanner supports one-sided and two-sided scanning. Using the skip blank pages function enables you to scan without worrying about whether to scan one side or both sides of a document because scanned images of blank pages are not saved.

 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 CaptureOnTouch Lite, CaptureOnTouch and scanner driver 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 Lite, CaptureOnTouch or scanner driver settings, this function detects the content of documents and determines the scanning resolution automatically.

 Document Size Auto Detection

This feature enables automatic detection of the page size of a scanned document. The space around the edges of documents can be omitted during scanning, even for non-standard size documents.

 Deskew

Even if a document is slanted when fed into the scanner, the scanned image can be straightened.

 Text Enhanced Mode

Advanced Text Enhancement II is provided to improve the readability when scanning documents in which the background is uniform and both the text and background are light.

*This feature may not work effectively for some documents

 Drop-Out Color

This feature makes it possible to ignore specific colors when scanning a document.

 Picture Mode

The [Apply corrections suitable for photographs] features compensates for underexposed and overexposed images for photoquality scans with finer gradation.

 Prescan

This feature allows you to scan just the first page of a document, confirm the scanned image and adjust the brightness and contrast, and then scan the remaining pages of the document.

 Scan First

Pressing the Start button on the scanner automatically starts CaptureOnTouch Lite or CaptureOnTouch, which allows simple scanning by following the instructions on screen.

 Auto Detection of Document in Feeder

An automatic start function is provided for detecting when a document is placed in the feeder and then starting scanning automatically.

Depending on the bundled software you are using, all of the preceding features may not be available.

Scanning the following types of documents can cause a paper jam or malfunction. To scan such a document, make a photocopy of the document and then scan the photocopy.

A document must meet the following criteria to be scannable:

● When scanning multiple documents of different sizes, place the documents so that they cover the entire span of the feed rollers.

● It is recommended that documents exceeding 356 mm (14") in 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.
