Scan Settings
|
The Parameter column shows a configurable scan
setting. Settings are grouped according to Basic
Options and Advanced Options.
In the Value column, you can set default scan
settings if the user does not change the setting at the device panel. The
Lexmark User Guide provides more information on scan
parameters.
Select Locked for a setting to prevent users from
changing that setting at the device panel. Select
Locked next to the Basic
Options heading to prevent users from changing any of the
basic options.
Select Default to use the default setting supplied
by the device. You cannot set values for a parameters while the
Default check box is selected. The
Default selection overrides the
Locked setting. Selecting both settings is
the same as selecting only the Default check
box and allows the user to change the scan settings at the
panel.
Basic Options:
- Page Size — Select from
the list of available page sizes.
- Sides — Specifies Simplex
(one-sided), Duplex Short Edge (two-sided, bound on short edge) and
Duplex Long Edge (two-side, bound on long edge).
- Page Orientation — Orientation of the
target document, either “portrait” or “landscape”.
- Resolution — Resolution
in DPI (dots per inch) of the scan.
- File Format — File format
of the scanned document (TIFF, JPEG, PDF, RAW (2.0), Secure PDF,
XPS).
- Multi-Page
Tiff — Specifies whether the TIFF
file contains a single page image or a multipage images
(subfiles).
- Color Mode — Provides the
enumeration for an available color mode. The target document will
be rendered in Black and White (gray scale) or Color. If no value is
specified, Color will be used. If the device is only able to scan
in monochrome then all scans will be monochrome, regardless of the
setting here.
- Mono Bit
Depth — Specifies bit depth and used
only when Color Mode is set to
Black and White. This setting is ignored
if Color Mode is set to
Color and bit-depth will be set to
24-bit. This setting is only available with devices using Framework
versions 2.x. For previous versions, use the
Composition setting.
- Composition — Specifies
the image composition of the job. The image composition defines the
bit depth, number of planes, and color space of the image data to
be generated by the job. Not all combinations of image composition,
file format and compression are valid for Framework versions 1.x.
This setting is not used and has no effect for devices running
Framework versions 2.x.
- Content — Contents of
the target document.
- Compression — Specify
different formats for compression of the scanned image. Not
available with devices using Framework versions 2.x.
Advanced Options: Not all Lexmark
devices support these options. Refer to the device user manual for
more information.
- Custom Job — Allows a
user to concatenate sets of original scan jobs into one single job.
Jobs may from different sources and different settings.
- Darkness — The darkness
level of the scan with (1) being the lightest and (9) the
darkest.
- Edge Erase (Top, Left, Right,
Bottom) — Specifies the amount of
image data to erase at either the top, left, right or bottom of the
original image window. This option allows the user to eliminate
unwanted marks along the edge of the target document.
- Scan Preview (hard
drive) — When enabled, the user sees
a thumbnail of the scanned image. With flatbed devices, a thumbnail
appears for each page scanned. For ADF devices, a thumbnail appears
for only the first page.
- Background
Removal — Specify the background
removal level of a scan. Higher values change lighter shades to
white. A value of zero is neutral.
- Color Dropout
(2.0) — Turns the selected color to
white to support form processing functions. Also turns dark marks
and notations to black. This setting only affects gray scale
jobs.
- Color Dropout Threshold
(2.0) — Specify the threshold for
shades to become either black or white. By increasing the
threshold, darker shades become black while lighter shades become
white. By decreasing the threshold, darker shades become white
while lighter shades become black.
- Contrast — Specify the
contrast level of the scan. Higher values result in more
contrast.
- JPEG Quality — The amount
of image quality and detail retained by the JPEG compression
algorithm.
- Source — Specify the
scanning source.
- Negative Image (2.0) — Specify whether the
image produced by the scan is to be inverted.
- Shadow Detail — Specifies
the black-point level of the scan.
- Scan Edge to
Edge — Specify whether the document
is scanned from edge to edge or only within the specified
margins.
- Sharpness — Specify the
sharpness of the image. Increasing the value may be useful for
blurry text. Decreasing the value may be useful for moiré
patterns.
- Action Button Text
(2.0) — Specify the text to be
displayed on the Action button. If no text is specified, the
default text for the action is used.
- One Page Copy — Specify
whether scanner scans an entire job at one time or one page.
- Pdf Password (1.2 on X940e,
X945e) — User can specify a password
to use for secure PDF. File Format must be
set to SECURE PDF. This setting does not
apply to Framework versions 2.x.
- Pdf Algorithm (1.2 on X940e,
X945e) — Specify the encryption
algorithm to use with secure PDF. File
Format must be set to SECURE PDF. With Framework
versions 2.x, the encryption algorithm is selected
automatically.
- Restart Job (1.2 and
older) — Specify whether the job must
be resubmitted when the job is canceled for any reason. This
setting does not apply to Framework versions 2.x. For Framework
versions 2.x, the user can use Scanner Jam
Recovery instead of this setting.
- Scan Recovery (1.2 and
older) — Specify whether a job
resumes immediately after the MFP devices jams. Successfully
scanned pages will be preserved and scanning will resume after the
last good page. If setting is not selected, the job will not resume
after the MFP device jam.
- Scanner Jam Recovery
(2.0) — Specify whether the full or
partial job must be resubmitted when the job is canceled for any
reason. If Job-level is selected and the
entire job must be restarted, then the job must be resubmitted. The
Page-level setting saves all properly
scanned pages but all pages after the first jammed must be
resubmitted.
