2. TWAIN

2.1. TWAIN

TWAIN is the specification that defines the standard software protocol and application programming interface (API) for data exchange between a software application program and an image input device such as the image scanner.

[TWAIN development background]

In the past, development of a new scanner inevitably required the development of a compatible driver and a sample (demonstration) program exclusively designed for the new scanner. As the scanner is upgraded, the driver may need to be upgraded as well to maintain its compatibility with the upgraded scanner. Therefore, the use is most likely to be restricted to one specific scanner model to avoid the complication of learning new operation methods and replacing the peripheral driver, etc., involved in scanner replacement.

In view of the incompatibility among different scanners and peripheral equipment and the accompanying inconvenience, there was a demand for standardization of the related hardware and software, and TWAIN was established as a result.

The user may now choose among all the input devices and software (driver or application programs) conforming to the TWAIN standard, and configure a most suitable system for himself, without being restricted to the products of a certain series or a certain manufacturer.

2.2. TWAIN Application

TWAIN mainly applies to the following three software components:

 Application software  Source manager  Source

The components are related to each other as shown below.

The large divisions are labeled as "Unit". The scale also varies with the selected scanner.

♦ Message line

The message line is the bottom line of the dialog in which a brief explanation of an input item or a setting item is displayed when the mouse cursor is moved over the item.

♦ Data size

The approximate amount of data per image when data is scanned in the present option.

Note.

This value is the amount of uncompressed data. The size of the stored file will differ from this value and is usually smaller if image compression is chosen and the image is compressed.

4.4. Setting Information on Image Scanning

♦ Current side

When a scanner that allows duplex scanning is used, specifies the page which sets the image scanning information.

To scan using the same settings as those for "Front side" and "Back side," clear the checks in the "Individual Setting" checkbox on the "Front" and "Back" tabs. A single "Duplex" tab will be displayed at the left so that the same image scanning information can be set for "Front side" and "Back side."

To scan using different settings for "Front side" and "Back side," check the "Individual Setting" checkbox on the "Front" and "Back" tabs. Two tabs, "Front" and "Back," will be displayed at the left. Select each tab and enter the desired settings.

This is only effective when ADF (Duplex) is selected for the method of paper feed. For scanner types which permit duplex scanning, see "Relevant Image Scanner Specification" in the Appendix.

♦ Resolution

Specifies the number of pixels (dots) per inch. Select a predefined resolution or [Custom] from the list. [Customize] enables detailed settings by a pixel unit.

By marking [Predefine] checkbox, you can select one from three predefined settings as [Normal], [Fine], [Super Fine] to scan documents instead of configuring settings by yourself.

Otherwise, you can change the details of the predefined settings on the [Resolution Setting] window, which appears when you click on the […] button.

Resolutions for Image modes (“Color”, “Grayscale”, and “Black &White”) of the each predefined settings are changed corresponding to the selection of the Image Type.

* Click [Default] button to return the resolutions to the default value. High resolution produces finer images, meanwhile requires more memory that leads to

longer scanning time. The supported resolution depends on the type of scanner and the options installed.

Refer to "Relevant Image Scanner Specification" in the Appendix.

♦ Paper Size

Specifies a document size for scanning. Select a standard size or [Custom] size (can be registered up to three) from the list. Window for customizing the paper size will appear when you click on […] button besides

the list. On this window, you can change the order of the paper size in the list.

[Custom] button : Used for configuration of a custom size. [Up] button : Used for shifting the order of the selected document size upward. [Down] button : Used for shifting the order of the selected document size downward.

You can register up to three sizes as the customized document sizes.

[Custom Paper Size Setting] window will appear when you click the [Custom] button. Enter the size of the document to be scanned. (When entering the size, specify the paper size by width x length to the scanning direction.)

Some paper sizes may not be accepted by your device. Refer to "Relevant Image Scanner Specification" in Appendix.

Name :

Enter the name of the customized setting to be displayed in the list.

Width, Length

: To specify a custom paper size, use the scroll bar or enter the paper

size directly. The unit specified in [Option]-[Generic]-[Unit/Scaling] will be applied to the unit in this window.

♦ Scanning Area

Specifies the start position, width and length for the image scan. The maximum allowable size is the paper size selected previously.

In addition, the minimum size is 1.000 inch, 26 millimeters, or pixels (number of dots per inch) according to the unit that has been set.

"Left": The left end of the scan area on the scanned document (X coordinate) "Top": The top end of the scan area or the scanned document (Y coordinate) "Width": The width of the scan area "Length": The length of the scan area

These values are related to one another in the following way:

0 ≤ left end coordinate < (paper width - minimum scan area size) 0 ≤ top end coordinate < (paper length - minimum scan area size) Minimum value ≤ width ≤ (paper width - left end coordinate) Minimum value ≤ length ≤ (paper length - top end coordinate)

♦ Scan Type

Selects the feeding device. The image scanner uses a document bed called the flat bed as well as an automatic document

feeder (ADF) for feeding scanned document. The ADF usually enables the documents to be scanned only once. The flat bed allows scanning the same documents repeatedly.

Flat bed

Scans a document placed on the flat bed of the device.

ADF (Front Side)

Scans the documents on the device's automatic document feeder (ADF). Here, only the front sides are scanned.

ADF (Duplex)

To scan both the front and the back of a page, select this option. If this option is selected, the documents are scanned in the "front to back to front to

back ..." order. This option can be used only for scanner models that support duplex scanning. The "Duplex Function" requires that the calling application supports "continuous scan."

If the application does not support "continuous scan," only the data for the front side of the page is passed to the application.

Some scanner models do not support this option. See "Relevant Image Scanner Specification" in the Appendix.

Long page (Front Side)

Scans a document longer than the paper size which can be specified by [Paper Size]. In this case, only the front sides of documents are scanned. When this option is selected, the "Paper Size Setting" dialog box opens. Specify the size

of the document to be scanned.

* While the "Long page" is specified, the preview window cannot be displayed and the

scanning area cannot be specified.

* In case of some scanner models, while the "Long page" is specified, color and grayscale

settings can not be selected in [Image mode].

(Refer to “Relevant Image Scanner Specification” in the Appendix.) * Depending on the scanner, [Resolution] setting should be set to less than 400 dpi. * The "Long page" is not displayed in the [Scan Type] dropdown list if not supported by the

device. See "Relevant Image Scanner Specification" in the Appendix.

Long page (Duplex)

Scans a document longer than the paper size which can be specified by [Paper Size]. If this option is selected, the documents are scanned in the "front to back to front to

back…" order.

ADF (Back Side)

Scans the documents on the device's automatic document feeder (ADF). Here, only back sides are scanned.

Note.

To specify duplex scanning, the number of copies designated should be based o n the number of pages, not the number of paper sheets. In other words, one original with a front and back is regarded as two pages.

♦ Image Mode

Selects an image mode for scanning the image. Select a corresponding image mode from the list.

Black & White

Scans data by using the fixed threshold binary, black-and-white. Distinguishes black from white by the setting in the "Threshold" of "Scanning Parameter". This scanning mode is suitable for scanning line drawings and text documents.

Halftone (Dither)

Scans data using the halftone processing, with dithering or error diffusion. Uses the patterns set in "Halftone" to simulate data in black-and-white. Selection of built-in dithered patterns or error diffusion (not supported by some device models) is allowed. This scanning mode is suitable for scanning images containing light and shadow such as a photograph.

Gray scale

Scans data using 256-level monochrome gray scale. Light and shade in photographs can be represented with greater fidelity. This scanning mode employs far more memory than the Black & White mode. Some versions of the scanner do not support this scanning mode. For details contact the retail store where the device was purchased.

4bit Gray scale

Scans data using 16-level monochrome gray scale. Data size is smaller than "Gray scale" selected. Some versions of the scanner do not support this scanning mode. For details contact the retail store where the device was purchased.

Automatic separation

Scans data distinguishing line drawing from photograph image. If this option is selected, the line drawing part is scanned using "Black & White," and the photograph part is scanned using "Halftone". This information is most suitable for

documents containing both photographs, and line drawings or text. Some scanner models do not support this option. See "Relevant Image Scanner Specification" in the Appendix.

SEE (Selective Edge Emphasis)

Scans data using the halftone processing and emphasizes line drawings and text. This option is most suitable for emphasizing only text of documents containing both photographs and text. Some scanner models do not support this option. See "Relevant Image Scanner Specification" in the Appendix.

24bit Color

Scans data using 24 bits color. This mode is suitable for scanning color photograph and

employs far more memory that Gray scale mode. Only color scanner models support this option. See "Relevant Image Scanner Specification" in the Appendix.

256 Color

Scans data using 256 colors.

Data size is smaller than "24 bit Color" selected. Please note that the image quality of "256 Color (8 bit)" is inferior to the case of "24 bit Color ". Choose "24 bit Color" for higher quality. Only color scanner models support this option. See "Relevant Image Scanner Specification" in the Appendix.

8 Color

Scans data using 8 colors.

Data size is smaller than “256 Color” selected. Please note that the image quality of "8 Color" is inferior to the case of "24 bit Color" and "256 Color (8 bit)". Choose "24 bit Color" for higher quality. Only color scanner models support this option. See "Relevant Image Scanner Specification" in the Appendix.

♦ Black & White

Specifies the processing method when "Black & White" is specified in "Image Mode".

Static Threshold

Executes simple binary processing based on the "Threshold" setting.

SDTC, DTC mode

To enable the auto binary function of the image scanner, specify this option.

If this option is selected, the "Threshold" setting will be disabled.

In addition, auto binary has two modes: " SDTC Mode" and "DTC Mode". These

modes can be set using the "Advance" dialog box.

"DTC Mode", however, is limited to the image processing options. Therefore, only

scanner models that have image processing options support "DTC Mode". See

"Relevant Image Scanner Specification" in the Appendix.

SDTC mode (Floating Slice)

This option enables scanning and fine binary processing for documents whose backgrounds are other than white such as newspapers. Some scanner models do not support this option. See "Image Scanner Specification" in Appendix.

♦ Halftone

Select the halftone pattern for halftone scanning from the built- in pattern list. Select the desired halftone pattern for displaying the obtained image. This setting is

effective when "Halftone" or "Automatic Separation" is selected in "Image Mode". Some scanner models do not support this function. See "Relevant Image Scanner

Specification" in Appendix.

Dither Pattern 0

Executes pattern processing that is suitable for scanning a dark photograph.

Dither Pattern 1

Executes pattern processing that is suitable for scanning a dark-colored document

containing both text and photographs.

Dither Pattern 2

Executes pattern processing that is suitable for scanning a light photograph.

Dither Pattern 3

Executes pattern processing that is suitable for scanning a light-colored document

containing both text and photographs.

Download Pattern

Executes processing using the dithered download pattern specified in the dithered

download file (described later). Some scanner models do not support this function. See

"Image Scanner Specification" in Appendix.

Error Diffusion

Error Diffusion minimizes the difference between the pixel density of the scanned image

and the pixel density of the printed image to create better reproduction of a scanned

photograph.

Some scanner models do not support this function. See "Relevant Image Scanner

Specification" in Appendix.

♦ Scanning Parameters

For fine scan adjustments. Since there is no fixed set of values, set by trial and error.

Brightness:

Sets the brightness of the overall image.

Specify the brightness with a number in the range of 1 (bright) to 255 (dark).

To darken the overall image, increase the value of the setting. To brighten the overall

image, decrease the value.

This parameter can be set if "Halftone" or "Automatic Separation" is selected for "Image

Mode."

Threshold:

Sets the threshold value by which the black and the white of black-and-white images are

distinguished. Specify a number in the range of 1 (bright) to 255 (dark). This parameter

can be set only if "Black & White" is specified for "Image Mode."

In addition, if "DTC mode" is selected, the scanner will automatically use the

appropriate threshold value. As a result, the set value cannot be changed.

If the light color in the scanned document is read as black, increase the threshold value.

To eliminate light- colored areas in the scanned document, decrease this value.

Contrast:

Sets the contrast of light and shadow in a scanned image.

Specify the contrast with a number in the range of 1 (low [soft]) to 255 (high [sharp]).

The contrast can be set if "Gray Scale" is selected in "Image Mode."

If this value is increased, the dark part of the image is shown darker and the light part is

shown lighter.

Some scanner models do not support this function. See "Relevant Image Scanner

Specification" in Appendix.

4.5. Specifying Driver Operation

♦ [Preview]

Scans in a preliminary image based on set values, and displays the image in the preview window.

Before actual scanning, the preview function can be used to display the entire document for specifying the desired scan area.

Some models do not support this function. See "Relevant Image Scanner Specification".

♦ [Scan]

Scans the specified scan range based on set values. The following "progress indicator" is displayed during scanning to show the progress of the

scan operation. To stop scanning, click the [Cancel] button. The character string indicates the data transfer mode used between the driver and the

application.

Progress indicator

♦ [Close] / [OK]

Closes the dialog box without scanning. If a setting is changed, the changed setting is saved in the initial value file.

♦ [Reset]

Restores the current setting values to the status immediately after the window is opened.

♦ [Help]

Displays online help. When the [F1] key is pressed, help information regarding the item on which the cursor is placed is displayed.

Note.

Depending on the application used help information may not be displayable with the [F1] key. This is because the driver operation is controlled through the application and the [F1] key may be used differently in each application program. Help information can be displayed by pressing the [F1] key while holding down the [Ctrl] or [Shift] key.

♦ [Option]

Displays the "option dialog" for setting device-specific functions. See Section 4.7, "Setting Option" described later.

Setting:

1. Press the left mouse button to specify the origin (top left corner) of the scanning area. (The cursor appears as a "+".)

2. Drag the mouse to show the outline of the scanning area. (As the cursor moves, a range frame is shown.)

3. Release the left mouse button again to set the range (bottom right corner) of the scanning area.

Movement:

1. Move the cursor into the range frame. (The cursor appears as a hand.)

2. Press the left mouse button. (The cursor changes to a fist.)

3. Drag the mouse to move the range frame.

4. Release the left mouse button to set the current range.

Cancellation:

The range frame can be canceled by either of the following ways:

Click the left mouse button outside the range frame (inside the scan document). Select other paper types.

4.7. Setting Options

The "option dialog" is used to set device-specific functions and the items that differ depending on whether the scanner used supports them.

The option specification is divided into "Rotation", "Job/Cache", "Generic", "Imprinter (Endorser)", "Start Up", “Filter” and “Compression”.

The supported options depend on the scanner. See "Relevant Image Scanner Specification" in the Appendix. (

is displayed for options that cannot be used.) The option dialog in this driver is explained below. The commonly used buttons are explained first.

♦ [OK]

Enables the new setting, and terminates the option dialog box.

♦ [Cancel]

Disables the new setting, returns the setting to the previous value, and terminates the processing.

♦ [Help]

Displays online help.

The options are described below:

4.7.1. Rotation

Figure Option dialog (Rotation)

♦ Flip Side Rotation

Specifies the binding of the document when both sides are scanned using ADF.

Book

Outputs the scanned image for both sides as is. Select this option to scan documents bound on the left or right side

Fanfold

Outputs the scanned image of the backside rotated 180 degrees. Select this option to scan documents bound on the top or bottom (Front side and backside are printed conversely.)

* When scanning from the top to bottom for the printing direction of the document, this setting outputs the image with the front and backsides printed in the same direction.

♦ Rotation Degree

Outputs the scanned image rotated to the right or left 90 degrees.

0.0 degree

Outputs the scanned image as is.

90.0 degree

Outputs the scanned image rotated 90 degrees to the right (clockwise).

-90.0 degree

Outputs the scanned image rotated 90 degrees to the left (counterclockwise).

180.0 degree

Outputs the scanned image rotated 180 degrees (top and bottom reversed).

♦ Automatic Size and Skew detection

Disable

This option outputs the image as it was scanned.

End of Page Detection

Scanning with the ADF and page length detection selected will output data for the page size detected.

The image data output will adjust to the page length detected for each page including smaller size pages.

Data cannot be output for page sizes greater than the length setup in [Page Size].

This function does not work properly for some applications.

Automatic Deskew

When scanning with the ADF, this option detects skew of the document being fed and automatically corrects the skew.

Automatic Page Size Detection

Scanning with the ADF and Automatic Page Size Detection selected, the output will adjust to the page size detected.

Document skew can be detected and can be corrected for the output image. Output data size will be equal to each document scanned in a multi page scan. When

page size is detected incorrectly, set up the [Page size] to the largest size page in the set. For example, With Automatic Page Size Detection is selected, it also need to select a

Paper Size (example: Double Letter 11"x17") in the set. If any paper size within the

selected (Double Letter) paper size range is used for scanning, the output will adjust to the page size detected.

(However, in case of fi-4860C/fi-4990C/fi-5650C/fi-5750C, this function is not dependent on the setting of [Paper size] because these scanners always scan documents as the maximum paper size and detect the paper size from the scanned data.)

This function does not work properly for some applications.

However, some detection cannot be corrected for example, an unfixed long image, folded corner, document has uneven width for the length of the page.

This function becomes effective only when scanning with the ADF. (It may detect incorrectly when this function is chosen with flat bed scanning.)

In case of fi-5750C, this function can work correctly with flat bed scanning when “Document holding pad (black)” option (sold separately) is attached on the scanner.

Black Background

If it is selected, the outside of document paper becomes black by using black background during scanning.

White Background

Use it to activate "Overscan". Both [White Background] and "Overscan" need to be selected for making Overscan effective.

If "Overscan" is not selected, [White Background] functions the same as [Disable].

This option may not be supported for some scanners. See "Relevant Image Scanner Specification" in the Appendix.

♦ Priority

Setup for speed versus automatic document size detection. Select a small value when scanning speed is the higher priority. Select a large value when document detection accuracy is the higher priority. Priority can only be setup when [Automatic Page Size Detection] is selected at [Automatic

Size and Skew Detection]. If the selection of [Automatic Page Size Detection] do not makes this function selectable,

you do not need to setup this function.

♦ Overscan

This function makes the scanned images larger than the original documents by adding margins. This option is available only when [Black Background] or [White Backgroud] is selected for [Automatic Size and Skew detection].

This option may not be supported for some scanners. See "Relevant Image Scanner Specification" in the Appendix.

4.7.2. Job/Cache

Figure Option dialog (Job/Cache)

♦ Caching

Specifies whether to pre-read (cache) when a document is scanned. This option enables faster scanning.

If processing of the application being used slows down and scanning stops, this option can be used to prevent degradation of the scanning speed. (The effect, however, depends on the environment being used.)

None

Caching is not performed.

Read ahead

One document page is scanned, and the data is pre-read and stored in PC memory (main memory of the personal computer).

Ram cache

Prereads the allowable amount based on the allocated memory size and stores the data in PC memory.

A memory size between 1 and 200 MB can be set.

Use Memory on Scanner

Pre-reads using the memory installed in the scanner (displayed only if supported by the scanner).

Use Both Memory

Pre-reads using memory of both Scanner and PC (displayed only if supported by the scanner).

♦ Batch Detection

The application can detect documents on a specific type of form (special paper). The application must support this function.

None

No detection. Scanning is done without change.

Include and Continue

After the special paper is detected, scanning continues. The data on the special paper is also valid.

Include and Stop

After the special paper is detected, scanning stops. The data on the special paper is also valid.

Exclude and Continue

After the special paper is detected, scanning continues. The data on the special paper is excluded and will not be transferred to the application.

Exclude and Stop

After the special paper is detected, scanning stops. The data on the special paper is excluded and will not be transferred to the application.

This option may not be supported for some scanners. See "Relevant Image Scanner Specification" in the Appendix.

♦ Multifeed Detection

This option detects a multifeed (occurs when two or more documents are sent) based on the set condition.

If a multifeed is detected when this setting has been turned on, the device will stop and an error message output.

None

Multifeed detection is not performed.

Hardware Setting

A multifeed is detected based on the device setting.

Check thickness

The thickness of the transmitted document is checked by the sensor in the device. A multifeed is detected by detecting changes in the thickness when more than one document is sent.

Check length

The length of the transmitted document is checked by the sensor in the device. A multifeed is detected by detecting changes in the length when more than one document is sent.

Check thickness and length

The thickness and length of the transmitted document are checked.

Check overlapping

The overlapping of the transmitted document is checked by the sensor in the device. A multifeed is detected by overlapping when more than one document is sent.

Check overlapping and length

The overlapping and length of the transmitted document are checked.

For example, the detection accuracy can be improved by using [Check thickness] or [Check overlapping] for continuous scanning of forms that have different lengths and [Check length] for scanning of forms that have different thicknesses.

Depending on scanner model, the selectable items are different. Refer to “Relevant Image Scanner Specification” of Appendix.

♦ Pre-Pick

It specifies whether a document is picked and carried in front of the scanning position before starting scanning operation at the ADF scanning.

Disable

Pre-Pick is not performed. A document is picked and carried in front of the scanning position, after starting scanning operation.

Enable

Pre-Pick is performed. A document is picked and carried in front of the scanning position, before starting scanning operation.

Panel setting

The setting of device is followed.

* When selecting “Enable,” you can scan faster than when selecting “Disable,” because of

Pre-Pick process. When selecting “Enable,” if you cancel during the ADF scanning, a document remains in

the scanner in the Pre-Pick status.

♦ Check Over-skew

The skew of the transmitted document is supervised during the ADF scanning. When an over-skew is detected, the scanner is stopped and an error message is displayed.

* The image data of the skewed document is deleted. * This functions, only when “Multifeed Detection” is enabled.

♦ Blank page skip

This option skips blank pages (blank pages or completely black pages) during ADF continuous scanning.

Marking this check box, this function is enabled. *This function can be used if “Ram cache” or “Use Both Memory

If an item other than “Ram cache” or “Use Both Memory

” has been selected in the “Cache

” is selected.

Mode:” and this check box is marked, it will change to “Ram cache”.

In case of Black&White or Halftone (In case of binary)

For White pages, use the [Black Dots Ratio] slider bar to set the skip condition. For black pages, use the [White Dots Ratio] scroll bar to set the skip condition.

The value displayed to the right of the scroll bar displays the garbage ratio(*1). If a scanned document is below this value, it is recognized as a blank page. The setting range is OFF(- -) and 0.2% to 3.0% (in increments of 0.2%).

*1: Ratio of black dots included in the scanning area (for white pages)

In case of Color or Grayscale

Use the slider bar to set the skip condition in five stages from 1 to 5. To make the blank pages easy to skip, increase the value of the setting.

− If a blank page is scanned, increase the value set.

− If scanning is skipped up to the required document, decrease the value set.

* When “Black Background” is selected in [Automatic Size and Skew detection], the

Blank page skip may not operate properly. When Scanned image has many background noises, the Blank page skip may not operate

properly.

4.7.3. Generic

Figure Option dialog (Generic)

♦ Unit/Scaling

This option selects the unit for the scanning area and preview window. One inch is calculated as 25.4 millimeters. When inches are converted to millimeters, values are rounded off.

Note.

The TWAIN specifications require that the data width be arranged in units of 32 bits. As a result, a difference of up to 31 dots can be included, depending on the value set.

4.7.4. Imprinter (Endorser)

Figure Option dialog (Imprinter)

♦ Enable Imprinter (Endorser)

Specifies enabling or disabling the imprinter function of the device. When the option is selected, the scanned documents are imprinted according to the

instructions below. This applies only to the imprinter option. Therefore, the function is supported only with the scanner which supports imprinter option(s). See "Relevant Image Scanner Specification" described in the Appendix.

Disable

Imprinting is not performed.

Enable

Prints on documents using imprinter by the settings below. In this case, it prints on the back side of documents after scanning.

Therefore, the printing is not included in a scanning result.

Depending on scanners, two imprinters can be installed and one of them can be selected to use. In this case, "

Pre-Imprinter (Printing before scanning, and on the front side of documents)

Enable" is displayed as follows.

Prints on documents using the imprinter installed in front part of the scanner. In this case, it prints on the front side of documents before scanning.

Therefore, the printing can be included in a scanning result.

Post-Imprinter (Printing after scanning, and on the back side of documents)

Prints on documents using the imprinter installed in rear part of the scanner. In this case, it prints on the back side of documents after scanning.

Therefore, the printing is not included in a scanning result.

* [Pre-Imprinter] and [Post-Imprinter] cannot be used at the same time.

♦ Y Offset (Printing)

Specifies Y Offset from the edge of the original for the placement of printing. See "Relevant Image Scanner Specification" in the Appendix because the standard value specified here depends on the device.

♦ Direction (Printing)

Specifies the printing direction of endorsement strings. When printing from the head of strings against to the direction of scanning, designate “Top to Bottom”. And when printing from the tail of strings against to the direction of scanning, designate “Bottom to Top” However, see the “Relevant Image Scanner Specification” described in the Appendix since the available settings depend on the device.

♦ Font (Printing)

Specifies the printing orientation of characters.

Vertical : Horizontal :

Printing direction

Available settings vary depending on your scanner. Refer to “Relevant Image Scanner Specification” in the Appendix.

Bold

The imprinter string is outputted with bold font. Available settings vary depending on your scanner. Refer to “Relevant Image Scanner

4.7.7. Compression

Click this tab and mark the check box to enable or disable JPEG compression for data transfer from the image scanner. (This function is available only for Color or Grayscale scans.)

Figure Option dialog (Compression)

♦ Imprinter String (Endorser)

Converts scanned image data into JPEG format for transfer. Because of smaller data size, data transfer time is shorter than that of ordinary method (when the check box is not marked).

♦ Jpeg Quality

Specifies data compression rate for JPEG transfer. Increase the value when you prefer to get finer image quality, otherwise decrease the value for smaller data size.

Note.

・ Image quality may deteriorate due to scanning with JPEG compression.

・ When JPEG compression is enabled, lengths and widths of images may slightly

be different from that of the scans without JPEG compression.

・ This function may not be available for some image scanner models.

4.8. Setting Advance Options

The "advance dialog" is used to set items related to image processing. The settings apply to device-specific functions and items that differ according to whether the scanner used supports them.

The advance option specification is divided into "Color Variance", "Image Processing", and "Auto Binary".

The supported options depend on the scanner. See "Relevant Image Scanner Specification" in the Appendix. (

is displayed for options that cannot be used.) The option dialog for this driver is explained below. The commonly used buttons are explained first.

♦ [Default]

Makes the new setting valid and closes the option dialog box.

♦ [OK]

Makes the new setting valid and closes the option dialog box.

♦ [Cancel]

Makes the new setting invalid, returns the setting to the previous value, and terminates processing.

♦ [Help]

Displays online help.

4.8.1. Gray

The options are described below:

Figure Advance dialog (Gray)

♦ Gamma Pattern

This option corrects distortions from nonlinear image representation. Scanner sensors are generally designed to generate output linear to the density of the light reflected from the document. However, most output terminals do not produce output that has the desired linear relation to the input, and the resulting distortion must be corrected.

One of the following can be selected as a correction pattern: "Normal", "Soft", "Sharp", "Download Pattern", or "Custom".

Some scanner models do not support this function. See "Relevant Image Scanner Specification" in Appendix.

When "Download Pattern" is selected, the above dialog box opens.

Select the gamma pattern download file to be used from the list of file names. Then, press the [OK] button. Correction will then be executed using the selected gamma pattern.

If the gamma pattern download file has not been registered in the list of file names, use the [Add] button to register the file.

See "Download Pattern File" for information about how to specify the file.

When "Custom" is selected, a custom specification can be entered. Entering an arbitrary value between 0.1 and 10.0 enables a gamma pattern corresponding to

the entered value to be specified.

♦ White Level Follower

Select this option to scan a document whose background color is not white, such as a newspaper.

Select "Auto", "Enable", or "Disable". When "Enable" is selected, the document is scanned using background follow-up (for line

drawings). When "Disable" is selected, the document is scanned using the standard basic white background (for photographs). When "Auto" is selected, the option automatically switches to the optimal setting based on the specified "Image Mode".

"White Level Follower" is used to adjust the density of the white background of a document and correct variations in the background color by compensating the pixels of scanned images individually.

For ordinary use, set "White Level Follower" to off. Use of "White Level Follower" often increases the background noise because IPC-3/3D is very sensitive.

This option is not available if "Gray Scale" is selected for "Image Mode". In addition, some scanner models do not support this option. See "Relevant Image Scanner

Specification" in the Appendix.

♦ Dropout Color

You can scan images by removing one of the primary colors (green, red, or blue), which you select. This is useful, for example, when you scan black letters with red outlines and you want only the black part of the letters to be scanned. When "White" is selected, no color dropout occurs but it may be some loss of light yellow color. When "None" is selected, no color dropout occurs but scanning may slow down depending on the compatibility of your PC’s operating environment.

Some scanner models do not support this function. See "Relevant Image Scanner Specification" in Appendix.

♦ Reverse

This option specifies whether to reverse the black and white of a scanned image. If this option is selected, black and white are reversed by reversing the black and white

pixels. If this option is not selected, the black and white values of the reproduced image correspond to the original image.

Some applications do not permit normal operation. If this occurs, contact the manufacturer of the application.

4.8.2. Image Filter

Figure Advance dialog (Image Filter)

♦ Edge Processing

This option specifies the sharpness of a scanned image. Select "None", "Edge Extract", or "Smoothing (Background Removal)".

None

Edge processing is not performed.

Edge Extract

This option outputs an image with the edge extracted. If this option is selected, the boundary between the black part and white part in a closed

area is traced and the edge extracted. "DTC Variance" and "Edge Extract" are mutually exclusive.

Smoothing (Background Removal)

This option specifies whether to smooth the curves in an image by removing zigzag lines. "Smoothing" or "Emphasis" can be selected. In addition, "Edge Extract" and "Emphasis" are mutually exclusive.

Emphasis

This option outputs an image with the edge emphasized. "Emphasis High", "Emphasis Mid", or "Emphasis Low" can be selected. If "Emphasis High" is selected, the image becomes sharper. If "Emphasis Low" is

selected, the image appears less distinct.

♦ Mirror

This option specifies whether to flip the scanned image over the scanning axis. If this option is selected, a mirror image of the original image is obtained.

♦ Variance (DTC Variance)

This option specifies the value for adjusting the dynamic threshold of an image based on the brightness of the image.

A value is specified using the slider. The smaller the value, the lower the variance becomes. The higher the value, the higher the variance becomes. To specify the value, drag the tab of the slider to the desired setting position. The current setting is displayed on the right. This option is mainly used for optical character recognition (OCR). It enables dark and bright images in a document to be scanned effectively.

♦ Floating Slice Level (SDTC)

Specifies the level of the binary processing done by the floating slice. Set the level to higher when scanning documents with dark colored background. * This is displayed only when the SDTC mode (Floating Slice) is specified.

4.8.3 DTC

This option is valid only when "DTC Variance" is set.

Figure Advance dialog (DTC Mode)

♦ Scan mode

This option selects one of the following two scan modes:

[for OCR]: This mode is for text recognition applications where irregularity in the image is

undesirable.

[for Image]: This mode is for image scanning applications that scan images without prior

smoothing.

The specification changes the specifiable items and members for "Threshold Curve" and "Gamma Curve".

The selection screens for "for OCR" and "for Image" are not displayed if IPC-3/3D and IPC4D are installed.

♦ Threshold Curve

This option specifies the relationship between the threshold value and the maximum density. The specification method depends on the [Scan mode] setting. In [for OCR] mode, use the scroll bar to set the inclination and density level between 0 and 5.

Click the arrow of the scroll bar or drag the scroll marker to the desired setting position. The current setting is displayed in the center (figure on the left).

In [for Image] mode, select [Normal] or [Light] (figure on the right). If IPC-3/3D and IPC-4D have been installed, there is no difference between [for OCR] and

[for Image]. The scroll bar is used to set the inclination and density level between 0 and 7. (The figure on the right is not displayed.)

♦ Gamma Curve

This option specifies the gamma correction curve pattern. The available choices depend on the [Scan mode] setting. In [for OCR] mode, select [OCR1] or [OCR2]. In [for Image] mode, select [Dark Image] or [Even]. For IPC-3/3D and IPC-4D, the gamma curve need not be specified because the contrast is

adjusted automatically. ([Gamma Curve] is not displayed.)

♦ Equal to White

At conversion to binary, this option specifies whether to set the data to black or white when the threshold value and the value of the scanned data are equal.

This option is not available for IPC-4D.

♦ Ball-Point Pen Mode

When an image made with a pencil or ball-point pen is scanned, the light reflected from the pencil lead or ink is not uniform. As a result, part of the image may be missing. If the [BallPoint Pen] checkbox is checked, filtering is applied to offset the bright area in the document and compensate for disconnected or faint lines.

♦ OCR Smoothing/ Background Removal

The OCR smoothing is the function to make smooth the notched part of line-drawing, and the Background Removal is the function to remove the uneven background.

These functions are enabled when it is selected. For further information, please refer to the User’s guide attached to the IPC board since the

function to be operated is different by the type of IPC. At IPC-3/3D, [Noise Removal] and [OCR smoothing/ Background removal] is enabled

exclusively.

♦ Noise Removal

This option automatically removes spots that appear as black stains in a white area and spots that appear as white stains in a black area.

This option uses an algorithm that removes particles from 2 x 2 to 5 x 5 dot matrixes. The size of one dot depends on the resolution setting, and is equivalent to 1/400 inch for 400 dpi. Particles are distinguished from the text by whether they are connected to other dots within the specified number of pixels.

At IPC-3/3D, [Noise Removal] and [OCR smoothing/ Background removal] is enabled exclusively.

4.8.4. When Color (/Grayscale) is specified

For color scanners, when “Color” is selected in the [Image Mode], the [Advance] dialog changes as follows. And in case of some color scanners, when selecting “Grayscale” the [Advance] dialog change as same as selecting “Color”.

There are two image samples which are “Sample (before processing)” and “After (after processing)” on this dialog. When you change a setting item, the effect of the setting item is reflected in the image “After”.

You can specify the items, checking their effect.

Figure Advance dialog (Color / Grayscale)

♦ Shadow/Highlight (Color / Grayscale)

Shadow : The highlight allows the darkest part of the document to be controlled.

The higher the shadow value, the darker the image.

Highlight : The highlight allows the brightest part of the document to be controlled.

The higher the highlight value, the lighter the image.

Any levels on the document outside these settings are flooded (all 0 or 255), while the interval between the shadow and highlight settings are equally divided into 255 levels, which are used to create the output images. This means that if the shadow and highlight settings are close to each other, the contrast for that interval in the scanned document will be very strong (but with all other areas maximizing high or low).

♦ Contrast/Brightness (Color / Grayscale)

Contrast : Sets the contrast of light and shadow in a scanned image. Specify the contrast

with a number in the range of 1 (low [soft]) to 255 (high [sharp]). If this value is increased, the dark part of the image is shown darker and the light part is shown lighter.

Some scanner models do not support this function. See "Relevant Image Scanner Specification" in Appendix.

Brightness : Sets the brightness of the overall image. Specify the brightness with a number

in the range of 1 (light) to 255 (dark). To darken the overall image, increase the value of the setting. To brighten the overall image, decrease the value.

♦ Gamma (Color / Grayscale)

An arbitrary range is between 0.1 and 10.0.

♦ Preset Gamma (Grayscale only)

One of the following can be selected as a correction pattern: "Normal", "Soft", "Sharp", "Download Pattern", or "Custom".

Some scanner models do not support this function. See "Relevant Image Scanner Specification" in Appendix.

When "Download Pattern" is selected, the above dialog box opens. Select the gamma pattern download file to be used from the list of file names. Then, press

the [OK] button. Correction will then be executed using the selected gamma pattern. If the gamma pattern download file has not been registered in the list of file names, use the

[Add] button to register the file. See "Download Pattern File" for information about how to specify the file.

When "Custom" is selected, you can specify the values on the [Shadow/Highlight], [Contrast/Brightness] and [Gamma] tab.

♦ Color select (Color only)

It is possible to select independent value on each color

♦ sRGB Output (Color / Grayscale)

Emphasis

selected, the image appears less distinct.

De-Screen

"De-Screen Level 1", "De-Screen Level 2", "De-Screen Level 3", or "De-Screen Level 4" can be selected.

This option eliminates moirés patterns. To eliminate more effectively, higher level is selected.

♦ White Level Follower (Color)

Select this option to scan a document whose background color is not white, such as a newspaper.

Select "Auto", "Enable", or "Disable". When "Enable" is selected, the document is scanned using background follow-up (for line

"White Level Follower" is used to adjust the density of the white background of a document and correct variations in the background color by compensating the pixels of scanned images individually.

Some scanner models do not support this function. Refer to "Relevant Image Scanner Specification" in Appendix.

♦ Reverse (Color / Grayscale)

This option specifies whether to reverse the black and white of a scanned image.

If this option is selected, color data is reversed. If this option is not selected, the color values of the reproduced image correspond to the original image.

Some applications do not permit normal operation. If this occurs, contact the manufacturer of the application.

Some scanner models do not support this function. Refer to "Relevant Image Scanner Specification" in Appendix.

About Adjustment of Offset / Magnification

When clicking the [Offset] button, the following dialog appears.

Note

Using this dialog box, the offset of the leading edge and the magnification for the subscanning direction can be changed.

[Offset Setting]

If the position of the scanned image shifts from the original document, fine adjustment is possible.

At shipment, the offset has been adjusted to an optimum value within a certain range. Therefore, adjustment is not generally required.

*The maximum size of changes depends on the device.

Enable eliminating a dark area on the top of the image. Enable eliminating a dark area on the left side of the image.

These modes can be selected to eliminate the dark area on the leading edge and the left side appeared when using the flat bed

*These functions may not be displayed for some scanner models.

[Vertical magnification Adjustment]

The Vertical magnification correction value of sub-scanning direction can be changed. For ADF scanning, the image is expanded or shrunk in the paper feeding direction based on the setting value at shipment. For FB scanning, the image is expanded or shrunk in the direction to which the scan head moves based on the setting value at shipment. This function is used to adjust the image whose ratio of length and width seems different from the original document.

*The settable value varies depending upon the device used.
