Binarization
This is the process of converting a grayscale or color image to a bi-tonal
image. There are several different methods of performing this conversion.
Options: Dynamic Threshold, Fixed Processing, Halftone 1~5, Error
Diffusion.
Dynamic Threshold: Selecting Dynamic Threshold allows the scanner
to dynamically evaluate each document to determine the optimal threshold
value to produce the highest quality image. This is used to scan mixed
document containing faint text, shaded background, or color background
with a single setting. If Dynamic Threshold is selected, Threshold,
Brightness, and Contrast are not available.
Sensitivity of Dynamic Threshold
Occasionally your scanned image may contain small dots or speckles. To
remove these spots, increase the sensitivity value by moving the bar to the
right. The value ranges from 1 to 30. The default is 20.
Fixed Processing: Used for black-and-white and other high contrast
documents. A single level is set to determine the black-and-white
transition. The threshold is programmable over the entire density range.
Fixed Processing sets Contrast to 0. If Fixed Processing is selected,
Contrast is not available.
Halftone: In addition to the black and white display, Halftone can present a
somehow gray shade of image by using different size of dots. Halftone image
looks like the picture we have seen in the newspaper. Options include
Halftone 1, Halftone 2, Halftone 3, Halftone 4, Halftone 5.
Error Diffusion: Error Diffusion is a type of Halftone. Error Diffusion gives
good image texture and makes text in images more readable than Halftone.
Halftone Image Error Diffusion Image
Front/Rear Auto Color Detection:
Click to automatically detect and scan the front or the rear page of your color document in color image
mode. If your document is in color, the scanner will automatically scan the document into a color image.
If your document is non-color, you can choose the output to be either B&W or Gray from the Non-Color
Selection option. This option is useful when you have a mixture of color and non-color document.
Note: If you choose Front Rear Auto Color Detection, you can not specify the image mode of your rear
page and vice versa.
Sensitivity of Auto Color Detection
If your documents contain primarily B&W text and a small amount of light or pale colors and you do not
wish them to be recognized as color image to save the file size, you can reduce the sensitivity value by
moving the bar to the left to let these images to be detected as B&W. The value ranges from 1 to 100. The
default is 37.
2.3.2 Other Image Options

User Guide – IRIScanTM Executive 4
Threshold
Used to convert a grayscale image to a bi-tonal image. The value ranges from 0
to 255. A low threshold value produces a lighter image, and can be used to
subdue backgrounds and subtle, unneeded information. A high threshold value
produces a darker image, and can be used to help pick up faint images.
Adjust the threshold setting by dragging the Threshold sliding bar to the left or
right to achieve the desired threshold setting.

Document Type: Choice: Normal, Photo, Document
Three options of document type are provided when you choose Gray as the image type for your scanned

Document: Choose Document if your original contains pure text or a mixture of text and graphic
since it is an optimal setting for regular business document. When using Document, only Threshold
can be adjusted.
Photo: Choose Photo if your original contains photo to reproduce your photo in vivid grayscale image.
When using Photo, no Threshold and Contrast can be adjusted.
Normal: When using Normal, Threshold, Brightness, and Contrast can be adjusted.
Threshold: The value ranges from 0 to 255. The default is 230. A low threshold value produces a lighter
image, and can be used to subdue backgrounds and subtle, unneeded information. A high threshold value
produces a darker image, and can be used to help pick up faint images. Adjust the threshold setting by
dragging the Threshold sliding bar to the left or right to achieve the desired threshold setting.

Resolution
Selecting a good resolution results in a quality scan. The resolution is
measured in dots per inch (dpi). Normally, the greater the dpi number, the
higher the resolution and the image file size. Be aware that greater
resolution takes more time to scan, and more disk space for the scanning
image. For your information, an A4 size color image scanned at 300 dpi at
True Color mode consumes approximately 25 MB of disk space. A higher
resolution (usually means over 600 dpi) is only recommended when you
need to scan a small area at True Color mode.
Choose a resolution value from the drop down list. The default value is 300
dpi. Available resolutions are 75, 100, 150, 200, 300, 400 and 600. Or you
may choose your desired value by clicking the box in the right side of the
drop down list and press the arrow key to select your desired value and then
click the Add button to include it in the drop down list. Note: The resolution
is up to 300 dpi if an imprinter or a MICR reader is installed or connected to
the scanner.

2.4 The Compression Tab (Windows PC only)
The Compression tab allows you to compress your scanned image and choose the level of compression. Bitonal images are normally compressed using CCITT standard called Group 4 (G4). Color and grayscale
images are often compressed using JPEG technology. Move the JPEG Quality slider to the right or left to
increase or decrease the level of compression. Note the greater the compression level, the lower image
quality. Default is 50%.
Note that the compression depends on your image editing application. If your image editing application
does not support the type of compression format, then either a warning message will appear or the image
quality of the compressed file will not be acceptable.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Editor Group). This group developed and lent their name to a file compression
standard for color and grayscale images that is widely used by scanners, and software applications. On
Microsoft Windows-based systems, a file with the extension .jpg has normally been compressed using this
standard.
For scanning color or gray images, the following compressions are available:

Cache
Mode: None, Page Number, Memory Size.
This option allows you to assign a specified memory size from the available
RAM to process the image data. By specifying a smaller memory size, you can
free more memory for other applications you are running. By specifying a
larger memory size, you can have more memory to process the image data
especially when you have a large amount of documents needed to be scanned.
You can also specify your memory size by the page number. For your
information, an A4 color document scanning at 300 dpi consumes
approximates 24MB.
Image Count
When the selected cache mode is “none”, the image count option allows you to
