scanner from the operator’s view (i.e. from the front of the scanner). Each camera has a
set of two stitching coordinate boxes. A stitching coordinate box consists of four
quadrants.
Picture 20 shows a typical situation of the stitching indicator
s. That means, that all camera
settings are within the specified tolerances.
Ideally, the stitching indicators (the small dots inside the four-quadrant boxes) should be
positioned close to the center of the crosshairs.
If a stitching adjustment is necessary, it must be done by a trained technician.

correction used by the scanner camera. A value
of 1,6 is a good approximation. The range of values are from 0 (no gamma) to 2,5
(maximum gamma).
A higher gamma value shows more details in darker areas and compresses bright areas.
Page 38 Manual
Page 39
A.11.9.1.4 Sharpness
An automatic sharpening algorithm is applied to the image before any other operation is
performed.
The value zero disables the function. Very high values may produce artifacts, depending
on the document characteristics.
A.11.9.1.5 Resolution
This parameter defines the scanner’s resolutio
n. This button offers three ways to set the
desired value:
Tap the + or – to change the resolution in steps of one DPI.
Tap the + or – and hold for at least five steps, then the value changes in steps of five
DPI.
Tap the numeric value in the middle of the button. This will step through the list of
available resolutions.
A.11.9.1.6 Color mode
The color mode parameter defines t
he color mode if scanning in color or the algorithm
used for binarization in binary mode.
24b color 24 bit color mode
8b color 8 bit color mode
Grayscale 8 bit grayscale mode
Binary 1 bit black/white mode
Photo 1 bit black/white mode with dithering. Dithering means that finest details in
the image are optimized by rastering.
This control also influences the compression method that is offered in the File Control
screen.

A.11.10.1.1 Format
This control specifies the format of the document. In most cases the setting Auto should
be selected.
The format list includes the well known DIN A formats as well as US ANSI formats, e.g.
Letter or US C. Some formats are specified with an additional L(andscape) or P(ortrait).

A.11.10.1.4 Rotation
The value
set here defines the rotation of the image in a clockwise direction after
scanning.
A.11.10.1.5 Mirror
This control
activates the horizontal mirroring of the image.
It can be useful if scanning a transparency or a blueprint from the back side.
A.11.10.1.6 Splitting
The followin
g options are valid:
Left: The image is taken from the left side of the specified area.
Right: The image is taken from the right side.
Auto: Divides the specified scan area symmetrically into two sides and sends the
images consecutively. The second image will be sent without scanning the
document again.
The start is defined in Start Page (see chapter A.11.10.1.3).

A.11.10.2 Format Control 2
Picture 34: Format Control 2
A.11.10.2.1 Auto margin
The Auto margin control detects the edges of a document and cuts it out of the scanned
image.
If the value (in pixels) is negative, the resulting image will be smaller than the document.
This is helpful to remove unwanted borders from the image.
If the value is positive some of the background will remain in the scanned image.
A.11.10.2.2 Auto density
The Autodensity function detect
s the edges of a document only if they are surrounded
by a dark background.
This control specifies the density level used to decide whether a pixel belongs to the
background or not. A value of 40 is the proper setting in most cases.
Note:When scanning very dark documents, it could be necessary to vary this value to
detect the correct document dimension with the format setting Auto (see chapter
A.11.10.1).
A.11.10.2.3 Auto skew
The image of the scanne
d area will be deskewed before it is displayed.
Auto skew enables the deskew function and defines the maximum angle of the document
to be deskewed.

control. A higher percentage gives better quality but the file size will
increase. A lower factor will show some artifacts in the image but the
file size will be reduced.
Prev. quality: The JPEG quality level used for the preview is selected here. A higher
percentage gives better quality but the file size will increase. A lower
factor will show some artifacts but the file size will be reduced.
Prev. scale: This control defines the preview scale factor. Higher values result in
smaller previews; lower factors will produce larger previews but take
more time to send and display.

this control. A higher percentage gives better quality but the file size
will increase. A lower factor will show some artifacts in the image but
the file size will be reduced.
Prev. quality: The JPEG quality level used for the preview is selected here. A higher
percentage gives better quality but the data size will increase. A lower
factor will show some artifacts but the data size will be reduced.
Prev. scale: This control defines the preview scale factor. Higher values result in
smaller previews; lower factors will produce larger previews but take
more time to send and display.
PDF compr: “None” disables the data compression. The controls “JPEG quality”

The Document Mode allows the user to select between different types of documents.
Currently the only mode is Flat Mode. In this mode the scanner works with a fixed focus
setting, regardless of the actual shape of the document.
The Preview Scale selector will be used for previews. If set to Auto, the function will
perform a best fit before the image is displayed on the screen.
The Preview JPEG Quality (%) determines the compromise between quality and
compression rate. A higher quality factor produces larger files. The default setting of 40 is
a good compromise for most documents.
The Bidirectional Scan allows two settings:
Bidirectional Scan: Yes: The camera scans the selected scan area size and stops at
the position where the scan area ends. The next scan
sequence starts from this position in opposite direction.
Bidirectional Scan: No: The camera scans the selected scan area size and returns to
its initial start position. While the camera returns to the start
position the document can be changed.

most of the time.
If User is selected the User defined format control opens. It allows to
set the values for Height and Width of the area to be scanned. It also
allows to define the position of the area to be scanned. The position is set
by the values for X Offset and Y Offset.
Note: The point of origin for X Offset and Y Offset is defined in the
upper left corner of the document area. Only positive values are allowed.

numeric value or by clicking on the slider and moving it to the desired value. If a numeric
value us entered, confirm the input with the ENTER key or the TAB key on the PC
keyboard.
The Auto Density (Binary) parameter defines the scanner’s sensitivity for the automatic
format detection. Default value: 40
When scanning dark documents, the value should be reduced in small steps until the
desired result is achieved.
In general: The higher the numeric value, the more contrast there must be between
background and scanned document.
The Use Deskew control activates the automatic deskew function.
If Yes is selected, a slid

field. Confirm the input with the ENTER key or the TAB key on
the PC keyboard.
If the entered resolution differs from the values offered in the
list, user defined is displayed in the right field.
The Brightness [%] slider defines the brightness of the resulting image. Lower brightness
values make the image darker.
The Contrast [%] slider defines the contrast of the resulting image. Higher contrast
values show more details. If scanning in binary modes (i.e. Line Art or Photo), the
behavior of the contrast slider changes.
The Image Sharpness slider invokes an advanced algorithm which sharpens the image
according to the local content of a given area.
