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

Unattended Mode

Enables unattended mode for batch separation. Unattended mode is the ability to scan several batches in succession without intervention from the Scan station operator.

Duplex on Simplex Scanner

Enables duplex scanning on a simplex scanner.

Display Blank Pages

Displays blank pages instead of automatically deleting them. Available only if the Front Delete Blank Page Threshold or Back Delete Blank Page Threshold setting is selected on the Source Properties window. Blank pages appear in the Batch Contents tree view, and they are identified by a rectangle that overlaps the thumbnail image.

If a page appears in the Batch Contents tree view as blank, you can right-click and select Mark As Non-blank. As a result, the overlapped rectangle is removed from the thumbnail image.

This setting is saved with the scan profile. If the scan profile is shared, the Display Blank Pages setting is also shared.

When a page is detected as blank, it does not affect the volume license counter unless you mark it as non-blank.

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.
