4.2.2 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. Two of the options are Dynamic Threshold and Fixed Processing.

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.

Fixed Processing: Used for black-andwhite 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.

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:80, Brightness: 0

200 dpi, Threshold:170, Brightness: 0

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.

Brightness: -50

Brightness: 0 (Normal)

Brightness: +50

Contrast: -50

Contrast: 0 (Normal)

Contrast: +50

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.

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.

• 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.

Note the options vary based on type of scanner.

4.3 The Compression Tab

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

4.4 The Color Dropout Tab

4.4.1 Color Dropout Selection

Color Dropout tab allows you to drop either of the red, blue, or green color in your scanned image. If your image contains red color watermark or background, choose the R (Red) channel then any red watermark or background will be removed. This feature is used to sharpen your text when using OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software.

Note that this function supports only black & white and gray images. Therefore, be sure to choose any black & white or gray image type while applying this function.

The Color Dropout dialog box

4.4.2 Other Color Dropout Options

Advanced Processing provides two options that can adjust your scanned image in the best optimal result.

Filter Threshold

This value is used to determine the color which will be dropped out. A lower value will drop more of the selected color out, while a higher value will leave more of the selected color in.

Background Level

The pixel which is higher than the background value will be adjusted to the lightest point. Adjust the value for both the Filter Threshold and Background Level to produce the best optimal result.

Example, slightly adjusting the background value makes your text more clear.

Original

Remove Blue, Threshold: 20, Background: 255

Remove Blue, Threshold: 20, Background Level: 210

4.5 The Paper Tab

The Paper tab allows you to define values relating to image output (i.e., Auto Crop or not, Scan Area, OverScan, Multi-Feed Detection).

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.

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.

5. Using the Buttons

The following picture shows the 3 buttons and 1 function screen on the scanner.

To Start Button Capture,

After the scanner driver is successfully installed, the Button Capture program should be also installed to your computer. The Button capture is a very useful program which you can customize the button's function. On your Windows system screen, click Start>Programs>Scanner AVXXX (your scanner model) >Preferences to display the Button Capture dialog box as shown below.

The Button Capture dialog box consists of a scan setting area at the left, a function items area at the right, and a series of action buttons at the bottom.

The default settings of Function 1 to 5:

Function Number	Default Settings
Function 1	A4, 200 dpi, Gray, JPEG, C:\temp, Scan to File

Function 3	A4, 200 dpi, True Color, JPEG, C:\temp, Scan to File
Function 4	A4, 200 dpi, LineArt, TIFF, C:\temp, Scan to Printer
Function 5	A4, 200 dpi, LineArt, PDF, C:\temp, Scan to E-mail

Description on the Button Capture dialog box:

The above scan settings are quite intuitive. You can set up your desired scan properties in this area. The Scan Path setting is where your scanned image resides.

The Function setting lets you link your scanned image to an application, such as Scan to File (save your scanned image to a designated path), Scan to Email (send your scanned image to Microsoft Outlook as an attachment), Scan to Printer (send your scanned image to your printer), or Scan to Application (enable the Image Editor setting and to send your scanned image to the application). When the Image Editor setting is enabled, it allows you to select your desired image editing application.

There are 9 arbitrary item names in the Function Items area, in which all of the 9 item names are changeable. From top to bottom, these arbitrary item names correspond to the 1 9 digits displayed on the Function Screen.
