Applying Imprinter Settings

Use the Imprinter settings to customize the content and appearance of the text string applied to pages as they are scanned. For example, use imprinted text to add page numbers, date stamps, or other general information to a page. To apply the imprinter text to an electronic image, see Annotation.

  1. On the Scan Settings tab, in the Imprinting & Annotation group, click Imprinter to turn on imprinting.
  2. On the Scan Settings tab, in the Imprinting & Annotation group, click the arrow under Imprinter.

    A list of Imprinter settings appears.

  3. Prefix: Set the optional character sequence that precedes the rest of the imprinted text. Generally, the prefix consists of a text string and a date. When creating a prefix, use only the following characters:

    • space

    • 0-9

    • % - _ /\ # . ] [ () = + < > &

    • A-Z

    • a-z

  4. Vertical Offset: Set the distance between the imprinted text and the top of each page. The default and minimum value is zero; the maximum value is 25.5 inches. You must enter whole numbers for pixels and millimeters, but you can enter decimal numbers in 0.1-inch increments for inches.
  5. Left Offset: Set the distance between the imprinted text and the left edge of the page. The default and minimum value is zero, but the text is never printed less than 20 mm from the left of the page. The maximum value is dependent on paper size. You must enter whole numbers for pixels (default) and millimeters, but you can enter decimal numbers in 0.1-inch increments for inches.
  6. Text Orientation: Set the direction that you want the imprinted text to face on the page.

    • Up

    • Down

    • Right

    • Left

  7. Font Size: Optionally adjust the size of the imprinted text. The Large setting prints taller characters; the Small setting prints reduced size characters. Selecting Large may affect the length of text strings, causing the text to print off the end of the page. Also, you can select the font size but not the font type; by default, the scanner prints standard Latin font characters.

    • Small

    • Medium

    • Normal

    • Large
