These two options work only with each other. • Back Auto Color Detection, Back Color, Back Gray and Back B&W is not available when using the scanner glass.

Image Selection group The Image Selection group lets you configure detailed settings used when scanning in each color mode. Select an image type and customize detailed settings. You can apply different settings to each image type. Image Type

Select Color if your original is in color and you want an exact copy.

Select Gray if your original contains shades of gray.

B&W Select B&W if your original is typed, written in pencil, or written in pen.

Auto Color Detection

Select Auto Color Detection to automatically detect and scan the front or back of your color document. If your document is in color, the machine automatically scans the document as a color image. If your document is not in color, select either Black and White or Gray from the Non-Color Selection drop-down list. Use this option if your document is multi-page and includes both color and black and white.

Binarization / Document Type / Non-Color Selection This field name changes based on your choice in the Image Selection group.  Binarization (B&W mode only) Binarization is the process of converting a grayscale or color image into a black and white image. There are several methods of performing this conversion. Conversion Methods

Select Dynamic Threshold to allow the machine to dynamically evaluate each document to produce the highest quality image. Select this option to scan documents containing faint text, shaded background, or color background. If you select Dynamic Threshold: Threshold, Brightness, and Contrast are not available.

Select Fixed Processing 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. If you select Fixed Processing, Contrast is not available.

Select Halftone to view a gray image composed of different-sized dots. In other machines, this is sometimes called “Grayscale”.

Select Error Diffusion for a type of Halftone. Error Diffusion results in good image texture and makes text in images more legible than Halftone 1-5 above.

 Document Type (Gray mode only) When you select Gray as the image type for your scanned document, you can choose from three document types: Document Type

Select Document if your original contains only text or a mixture of text and graphics. This is the optimal setting for regular business documents.

Select Photo if your original contains a photograph, to reproduce it in a vivid grayscale image.

Select Normal to adjust Brightness and Contrast manually.

 Non-Color Selection (Auto Color Detection mode only) If your document is non-color, you can choose the output to be either Black and White or Gray. This option is useful when you scan a combination of color and non-color documents.

Sensitivity / Threshold  Sensitivity (available when you select Dynamic Threshold or Auto Color Detection) Sensitivity of Dynamic Threshold: If your document contains small dots or speckles and you want to remove them, increase the sensitivity value by moving the bar to the right. Sensitivity of Auto Color Detection: If your document contains primarily black and white text with a small amount of light or pale color that you do not want to be recognized as color, reduce the sensitivity value by moving the bar to the left.  Threshold (available when you select Fixed Processing or Document) A low threshold value produces a lighter image, and can be used to subdue backgrounds and unneeded information. A high threshold value produces darker images, and can be used to help faint images stand out.

Brightness Use the Brightness bar to lighten or darken an image. The greater the value, the clearer the image.

Contrast Use the Contrast bar to adjust the range between the darkest and the lightest shades in the image. The greater the value, the greater the difference between light and dark.

Resolution (dpi) Select a resolution value from the drop-down list. The greater the value, the higher the resolution, and larger the file size. You can set a custom resolution value by clicking the

button to the right of the drop-down list.

Invert Use Invert to reverse the brightness and the colors in the image. The default setting is Black on White background. To reverse this, select White on Black.

X-Offset / Y-Offset / Width / Length You can adjust the scan area manually using the following values:  X-Offset Adjusts the distance from the left edge of the scanner to the left edge of the area in the document that you want to scan.  Y-Offset Adjusts the distance from the top edge of the document to the top edge of the area in the document that you want to scan.  Width Adjusts the width of the area in the document that you want to scan.  Length Adjusts the length of the area in the document that you want to scan.

Multi-Feed Detection options Configure the Multi-Feed Detection options to detect documents that overlap when fed through the ADF. A multifeed usually occurs due to stapled documents, adhesives on documents, or electrostatically charged documents.  Additional Length Detection Allows you to define the length of document being scanned by specifying the additional length exceeding scan area. A value of “0” indicates no additional length detection. Use the Additional Length Detection feature when scanning multiple same-sized documents from the ADF. If you select this detection method, scanning does not stop even if a multifeed is detected.  Ultrasonic Detection Detects overlapping pages by measuring paper thickness. When this feature is selected, and your machine detects a multifeed, scanning stops immediately and a warning message appears on your computer monitor.  Stop Scanning after Multi-Feed Select this check box to stop the feeder and display the warning dialog box when a multifeed is detected.
