Frequently Asked Questions - AD215W AVISION

How do I connect the Avision AD215W to my computer?

You can connect the scanner via USB 2.0 cable directly to your computer. For wireless connection, press the Wi-Fi button on the scanner and follow the on-screen instructions to connect to your network using the Avision Scan Utility.

What types of documents can I scan with the AD215W?

The scanner supports documents up to A4 size (210 x 297 mm) as well as smaller sizes like business cards. It uses an Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) for batch scanning and can handle cardstock and plastic cards (up to 0.5 mm thick).

How do I clean the scanner glass and rollers?

Turn off the scanner and unplug it. Use a lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or isopropyl alcohol to gently wipe the glass. For the ADF rollers, you can purchase a cleaning sheet or use a cloth with alcohol. Allow all parts to dry before use.

Why is my scanner not feeding paper properly?

First, check if the paper is loaded correctly and not exceeding the ADF capacity (20 sheets). If the issue persists, clean the ADF rollers and separator pad with a lint-free cloth. If the rollers are worn, replace them using the ADF Roller Kit available from Avision.

Can I scan multiple pages into one PDF file?

Yes, use the Avision Scan Utility software. Select PDF as the output format and choose 'Merge into one file' in the options. The scanner will batch scan all pages and combine them into a single PDF document.

What should I do if the scanner is not detected by my computer?

Ensure the USB cable is securely connected and the scanner is powered on. Try a different USB port or cable. Install the latest drivers from Avision's website. If using Wi-Fi, verify that both devices are on the same network and the scanner's IP address is correct.

Is the Avision AD215W compatible with macOS?

Yes, the scanner supports macOS 10.12 and later. Download the macOS driver from Avision's support page. Note that the Wi-Fi setup may require additional steps on macOS; consult the user manual for details.

How do I replace the ADF roller kit?

Open the ADF cover and remove the old roller module by pressing the release tabs. Insert the new roller module (part of the ADF Roller Kit) until it clicks. Then close the cover and perform a test scan to ensure proper feeding.

What is the recommended scanning resolution for text documents?

For standard text documents, 300 dpi is recommended for clear OCR results. For photos or fine details, you can increase resolution up to 600 dpi. Higher resolutions produce larger file sizes.

How can I scan directly to my mobile device?

Install the Avision Scan Pro app (available on iOS and Android). Ensure the scanner is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your mobile device. Open the app, select the scanner, and choose scan settings. The scanned document will be saved to your device.

4.3.2 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.

Error Diffusion Image

Dynamic Threshold (AD)

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.

200 dpi, Threshold:50, Brightness: 0

200 dpi, Threshold:100, Brightness: 0

Gray

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. Choice: Normal, Photo, Document.

• 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.

Brightness Adjusts the lightness or darkness of an image. The higher the value, the brighter the image. Drag the slider to the right or left to increase or decrease the brightness. The range is from -100 to +100.

Contrast Adjusts the range between the darkest and the lightest shades in the image. The higher the contrast, the bigger the different grayscale. Drag the slider to the right or left to increase or decrease the contrast. The range is from -100 to +100.

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.

Resolution: 75 dpi

Resolution: 150 dpi

Invert Reverses the brightness and the colors in the image. The default setting is Black on a White background. Reverse mode is White on a Black background. For color images, each pixel will be changed into its complementary color at the command of Invert.

Choice:

• Auto Document Feeder: Used to scan multiple pages.
• Flatbed: Used to scan a single page. For example, pages from newspaper clipping, paper with wrinkles or curls.
• Flatbed (book): Used to scan several inside pages from book.
• Automatic: Allow the scanner automatically set its scan source. 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.

NOTE:

If you have purchased a duplex sheet-fed scanner, choose [Merge Two Sides] on the [Scan Source], then the scanner is able to scan both sides of your document and merge them into a single image.

If “Merge Two Sides into One Image” is selected, its choice will be available including “Merge Horizontally”, “Merge Vertically”, “Merge Vertically (Back Side Flip)”. If the reverse side of your document is upside down, choose “Merge Vertically (Back Side Flip)” and the back side will be automatically rotated 180 degrees and merged.

4.4 The Compression Tab

* The feature is only available for Windows operating system.

The Compression tab allows you to compress your scanned image and choose the level of compression. Bi-tonal 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:

• None
• JPEG

For scanning B&W images, the following compressions are available:

• None
  • G4

Compression:

To complete your scan at a rated speed, the scanned image is compressed by default during transmission. However, if you wish to obtain the highest image quality, you can choose to uncompress the image data before it is outputted.

To Application:

Choose if you wish to compress the image data and transfer it from the TWAIN driver to the application. Note Bi-tonal images are normally compressed using CCITT standard called Group 4 (G4). Color and grayscale images are often compressed using JPEG technology. Move the [Image Quality] slider to the right or left to increase or decrease your image quality. Note the greater the image quality, the lower the compression level. 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 the image of the compressed file will look abnormal.

OPTIONS	DESCRIPTION
Automatic	Automatic adjusts the cropping window according to different document sizes and automatically straighten a skewed document. Use this option for batches of mixed-sized documents.
Automatic (36")	Automatically adjusts the cropping window according to different document sizes smaller than 36" and automatically straighten a skewed image. Use this option for batches of mixed-sized document.Note: The availability of this feature varies due to scanner model.
Fixed to Transport	This feature allows you to define the area or zone to be imaged. Use for batches of same-sized documents. If you select this option, you can use the arrow keys to define the x and y offset values, width and length to redefine your scanned area. The Display window will show image placement as you change the values.
EOP (End of Page) Detection	This feature allows you to define the area or zone to be imaged. Use for batches of same-width but different length documents. If you select this option, you can use the arrow keys to define the x and y offset values, width and length to redefine your scanned area. The Display window will show image placement as you change the values.
Automatic Multiple	This option allows you to place various sized documents such as photos, ID Cards, or business cards on the flatbed (if available) and lets you create multiple individually cropped images in one scan. Note: To correctly create multiple images, please make sure there is at least 12mm (0.5") of space between each document.
Relative to Document	This option allows you to crop different areas on your documents and deliver these images in B&W, Gray, or Color 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 scanning area.
• Width — the width of the scanning area.
• Length — the length of the scanning area.
• Center: automatically calculates the x-offset for centered feeding based upon document size selected.

- — relocate the scan area by click the arrow key on the cross sign while retain the scan size. View the result from the Display window.

The Adjustment option is available when Automatic is selected.

- Adjustment —adds a positive/negative margin value Top/Bottom or toward left/right of the image.

Adjustment is used when the automatic document feeder is used. Adjustment reduces the possibility of corner clipping on skewed images. To set Adjustment values, use the UP/Down buttons to select where you want to apply Adjustment values: Top/Bottom or Left/Right, and then select the amount of inches/mm/pixels applied. Select a value within the range of 0.00 to 1.00 / -1.00.

Relative to Document: (used for batches of same-sized documents)

This option allows you to crop different areas on your documents and deliver these images in B&W, Gray, or Color 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 procedure describes how to reproduce the entire document in B&W and a portion of document (picture) in color.

1. On the Paper tab, choose "Relative to Document" or "Fixed to Transport" from the Cropping option.
2. Choose your scan size from the Scan Area option. The selected scan size will be displayed in a red rectangular box. This is also the scan size of your entire document. (For example, ISO B5. If you have not chosen a scan area and leave the selection as None, then the default area will be the scanner's maximum.)

1. Click the Preview tab to display the Preview window. A black rectangular box appears to indicate the max. scan size your have just selected.

1. Click the Preview button to view the entire image in low resolution to correctly crop your relative scan area.

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.

1. Load the Carrier Sheet with the gray section (printed section) facing downwards.

2. 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.

3. 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.

Scanner Maximum

Long Page (<118”)

Long Page (<118"):

When you need to scan documents whose length exceeds scanner maximum, please choose Long Page. Note if Long Page is selected, the Multi-Feed Detection will not be available. (Note: This option and the maximum allowable document length vary due to type of scanner.)

When Long Page (<118") is selected, be sure to specify your document size in the Length and Width field.

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.

Background Setting

This option allows you to set your scan background. Choice: White Background, Black Background.

Note: For a sheet-fed scanner with an auto document feeder, this option is currently available only in the “Auto crop” mode. For a scanner with a flatbed platen, this option is available either in the “Auto crop” or the “Fixed to Transport” mode.

4.7 The Multi-Feed Detection Tab

Multi-Feed Detection

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.

- Stop Scanning after Multi-Feed

If this is selected, the scanner will stop the feeder and prompt a multi-feed warning message. In addition, the multi-feed paper will be ejected from the scanner automatically.

Note: The availability of the [Auto Clear Multi-Feed Paper] feature varies based on scanner type. If your scanner does not support this feature, remove the multi-feed paper manually.

If this is not selected, the scanner will continue scanning the entire document though multi-feed is detected. After the entire document has been scanned, a multi-feed dialog box will be prompted to indicate the page number which has been detected multi-feed and need to be rescanned.

- Multi-Feed Alarm

If a wave file is added, the scanner will make a sound alarm if multi-feed is detected yet no Warning dialog box will be displayed.

How to add the sound alarm :

Q : Paper becomes skewed in the scanner.

A :

1. Align the document guides to fit the documents as closely as possibly and place the documents so that they feed in straight.
2. Check the condition of the feeding roller. If necessary, follow the cleaning directions in Section 5.1 and perform the cleaning.

Q: Why does my scanned image always come out too dark?

A: 1) Please adjust the screen settings to sRGB. 2) Please adjust the brightness settings on the screen from application software.

Q: When I choose optical resolution to be 600 dpi, the "auto crop" and "deskew" functions will be disabled.

A: Since to perform auto crop and deskew consumes great deal of system memory, it is suggested if you wish to perform "auto crop" and "deskew" functions, please choose your optical resolution to be smaller than 600 dpi to prevent a error message.
