Color Mode group

Black and White

Sets output color to black and white. The file size for a black and white image is considerably smaller than it is for grayscale or color images.

Grayscale

Sets output color to grayscale. Compared to black and white, grayscale images usually result in slightly better quality at the cost of increased file sizes.

Color

Sets output to color. When you scan in color, the file size usually increases (but compared to grayscale, only slightly).

Detail group

Resolution

Applies a dpi (dots per inch) setting to produce satisfactory image quality. Resolution is a measure of the image detail that the scanner can translate. The higher resolution settings support greater amounts of detail. Images scanned at high resolutions require more storage space than other images.

Feeder group

Flatbed

Scans a page from the scanner's flatbed. Useful for scanning thick or bound documents that cannot pass through the scanner, or for documents in fragile or poor condition.

ADF

Scans a page from the scanner's automatic document feeder (ADF). Useful for scanning stacks of loose pages of a similar type, or for documents in good condition.

Sides group

One Side

Scans one side of a document.

Both Sides

Scans both sides of a document.

Paper Size group

Size

Sets the paper size of the documents to be scanned. Default setting is based on the region where you purchased the product. For example, the default paper size for the U.S. is Letter; in Europe, the default size is A4.

Long Paper

Scans paper lengths that extend beyond the standard dimensions, including the maximum. Available only for certain high-volume, production class scanners.

Orientation group

Sets the paper orientation to Portrait so that the short edge of the paper is fed first into the scanner.

Advanced group

Scanner group

Add

Opens the Add Scanner window, where you select a scan source. The selected source appears on the Scan Source list on the toolbar.

Settings group

Deskew Samples

Deskews sample images when scanned into Kofax Capture. The default setting is ON. You can disable this if deskewing color sample images is taking too long.

Reset group

Reset

Restores all values on the Scan Settings tab to the state that was in effect the last time you selected a profile or scanned a page, whichever is more recent.
