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.

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.
19
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.
20
[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)
21
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.
22
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 on 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.
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.
23
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.
24
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.

4.7 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.
30
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.
31
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
32
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, 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.)
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.)
This function does not work properly for some applications.
Black Background
If it is selected, the outside of document paper becomes black by using black background during scanning.
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].
Overscan
This function makes the scanned images larger than the original documents by adding margins. This option is available only when [Black Background] is selected for [Automatic Size and Skew detection].
33

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).
34
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.
*Batch Detection can not be used with following Caching, “Use Memory on Scanner” or
“Use Both Memory”.
Double Feed Detection
This option detects a double feed (occurs when two or more documents are sent) based on the set condition.
If a double feed is detected when this setting has been turned on, the device will stop and an error message output.
None
Double feed detection is not performed.
Hardware Setting
A double feed is detected based on the device setting.
Check thickness
The thickness of the transmitted document is checked by the sensor in the device. A double feed is detected by detecting changes in the thickness when more than one document is sent.
35
Check length
The length of the transmitted document is checked by the sensor in the device. A double feed 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 double feed 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.
36
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 “Double Feed 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
is selected.
“Cache Mode:” and this check box is marked, it will change to “Ram cache”.
In case of Black&White or Helftone (In case of binary)
For blank pages, use the [White Dots Ratio] slider bar to set the skip condition. For
black pages, use the [Black 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 blank 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.
37
<If blank page skip does not operate properly>
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.

4.8 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.
53
The options are described below:

4.8.1 Gray

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.
54
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
This option enables scanning excluding the selected color information of green, red, or blue (the three primary colors of light). For example, to scan black characters framed in red, selecting red for scanning will scan only the black characters.
Some scanner models do not support this function. See "Relevant Image Scanner Specification" in Appendix.
55
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.
56

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.
57
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.
58

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 IPC-4D are installed.
59
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 [Ball-Point Pen] checkbox is checked, filtering is applied to offset the bright area in the document and compensate for disconnected or faint lines.
60
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.
<Image Mode : Color selected> <Image Mode : Grayscale selected>
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).
62
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)
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.
An arbitrary range is between 0.1 and 10.0.
Preset Gamma (Grayscale only)
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.
63
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.

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.
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.
65
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
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.
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.
Dropout Color (Grayscale only)
This option enables scanning excluding the selected color information of green, red, or blue (the three primary colors of light). For example, to scan black characters framed in red, selecting red for scanning will scan only the black characters.

Power saving:
Specify when the lamp turns off. This is the elapsed time after a scan is complete.
85
[Power saving mode] button
This specifies the power saving mode.
If this button is clicked, the following dialog box is displayed.
Quick Start Mode
This mode keeps the lamp on regardless the scanner’s operating condition, which saves times for lamp to become steady.
Low Power Mode
To save the power consumption, this mode turns the lamp off, if the scanner is not operated for 14minutes.
* This button may not be displayed for some scanner models.
[Offset] button
When this button is clicked, the following dialog box is displayed. Using this dialog box, the offset of the leading edge and magnification for the sub-scanning
direction can be changed.
Offset Setting:
If the position of the scanned image shifts from the original document, fine adjustment is possible.
86
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.
[OK] button
The adjusted value is written to the EEPROM.
* This button may not be displayed depending on the scanner model.
The available settings also vary depending on the scanner model. (e.g. For fi-4110CU, only the setting of the ADF part can be changed)
Changing this setting affects scanning operation of the scanner device greatly.
Care must be taken when changing.
