7.3.2 Other Image Options
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,
Dynamic Threshold (AD), 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.
Dynamic Threshold (AD): Selecting Dynamic Threshold
(AD) to perform the enhanced mode of the Dynamic Threshold
feature. However, using this mode may slow down your
scanning speed.
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.

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

Resolution
A good control of the resolution results a good detail of an
image that scans. The resolution is measured by 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 200 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.

If Automatic is selected and there is document in both the auto
document feeder (ADF) and the flatbed, then the scan source will
be automatically set to ADF. If Automatic is selected and there
is document only in flatbed, then the scan source will be set to
flatbed.
Merge Two Sides into One Image:
If you have a sheet-fed duplex scanner with front input tray, you
can scan an A3 size document with an innovative method. Thus,
fold your A3 size document into A4, and then load the paper in
the front tray. Choose Merge Two Sides from the Scan Source
option and then the scanner is able to scan both sides of your
document and merge two A4 images into one A3 image.
When you select Merge Two Sides into One Image, the Cropping
or Multi-feed function will be disabled.
Note: This feature must be used with a carrier sheet. Regarding
how to load a document with a Carrier Sheet, refer to Section
4.6.2, Other Paper Selection.
Note the options vary based on type of scanner.

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:
None
JPEG
For scanning B&W images, the following compressions are available:
None

separately. For example, there are applications which
require you to store the entire document in B&W and a part
of the document in color to save storage space. This is
useful for documents where a photograph or signature
appears in a consistent area on the document such as
resumes, and so on.
The following options are only available when Fixed to Transport is selected.
X-Offset — the distance from the left end of the scanner to the left edge of the
scanning area.
Y-Offset — the position from the top end of the document to the top end of the

Carrier Sheet Mode:
Check this option to automatically crop the scan window according to your document size
when scanning non-standard document (fragile, irregular-size document) with a carrier sheet
(optional). Note: The availability of this option varies due to scanner model.
Loading Documents Using a Carrier Sheet
A Carrier Sheet is a plastic sheet specifically used for loading non-standard document onto
the scanner. It allows you to scan document that can not be scanned in the regular way. Also,
documents larger than A4 size, such as A3 and B4, can be scanned by folding in half,
inserting into the Carrier Sheet, and scanning in duplex mode. You can also scan documents
that can be damaged quite easily such as photographs, or irregular size documents that are
difficult to load directly such as clippings.
To scan document using a Carrier Sheet,
For documents larger than A4/Letter size, such as A3
a. Fold the sheet to be scanned in half.
b. Fold the sheet tightly and smooth out crease. Otherwise, the sheet may be skewed during
scanning.
1. Open the Carrier Sheet and place the document inside.
Align the top of the document to the top of the Carrier Sheet (the printed area).
For documents larger than A4/letter size, such as A3
Align the top of the document to the top of the Carrier Sheet (the printed section) and
the folded portion to the right edge of the Carrier Sheet so that the document fits into
the Carrier Sheet at the upper corner.
For non-standard document
Center your document in the Carrier Sheet.
2. Load the Carrier Sheet with the gray section (printed section) facing downwards.
7-32
3. Adjust the paper guides to the width of the Carrier Sheet.
Adjust the paper guides so that there is no space between the guides and the Carrier
sheet. Space between the guides and Carrier Sheet may cause the Carrier Sheet to
become unaligned during scanning, and skew the scanned image.
4. Start the scan.
NOTICE:
[Carrier Sheet] is available for the models that support the Carrier
Sheet.
Some functions are disabled when [Carrier Sheet] is checked.
This option may not work properly on some applications.

Notice when scanning long page document:
1. Pull out the extension in the ADF Paper Tray.
2. Secure enough space around the Output Tray to prevent the ejected paper from falling
off the Output Tray.
3. To ensure the performance, in color mode, set the resolution to be 300 dpi or lower; in
Black and White mode, set the resolution to be 600 dpi or lower.
4. Depending on your system environments, application, or your specified paper size, there
may be insufficient memory to perform scanning.
OverScan
Overscan allows you to add a specific margin at top and bottom or right and left (Options
vary based on the type of scanner) of the edge of the image. This is used to reduce possible
corner clipping on the skewed images and often applied to a batch of skewed document to be
scanned in the auto document feeder. Select a value between 0 and +5 mm. Note the
overscan result will not be shown in the Display window and that the availability of the
function varies based on type of scanner.
Pre-Feed
Choice: Enable, Disable. If enable is selected, you can set the amount of time the scanner
starts pre-feeding your paper after your documents has been loaded into the feeder. The
default is disabled. Note: The availability of this option varies due to scanner model.
Transport Timeout
Set the amount of time the scanner will wait and then start auto scan after the first scan job
is completed. If you have many separate documents need to be scanned at the same scan
settings, this feature is especially useful. The default is 0. The value ranges from 0 to 30
seconds.
NOTE:
Within the specified timeout period, if you load your document to the
feeder, the scanner starts scanning automatically.
If your scanner has a flatbed option and you place your paper on the
flatbed, after the timeout period, you need to click the Scan button on the
TWAIN user interface to start scanning.

Multi-Feed Detection allows you to detect overlapped document that go through the auto
document feeder. Multi-Feed usually occurs due to stapled documents, adhesives on
documents, or electro-statically charged document. Note： The availability of the function
varies based on type of scanner.
Additional Length Detection
Additional Length Detection allows you to define the length of document being multi-fed.
This value indicates the additional length exceeding your scan area. The Display window will
show the size of the document as you change the value. A value of 0 indicates no additional
length detection. The Additional Length Detection is best used when scanning same-size
documents in the auto document feeder.
Ultrasonic Detection
Ultrasonic Detection allows you to set overlapped document by detecting paper thickness
between documents. Note： The availability of the function varies based on type of scanner.
There are two options available if Multi-Feed is detected.

Set the scaling to 100%. The sheet is not recognized correctly
when printed in a size smaller than the original.
Do not use toner saving mode. The sheet is not recognized
correctly when the print is too light.
Do not use thin paper in order to avoid bleed-through from the
back.
When you copy a patch code sheet that you printed out, make
sure to copy by the same size and brightness as the original copy.
