4.3.2 Other Image Options

Binarization This is the process of converting a

grayscale or color image to a bi-tonal
image. There are several different
methods of performing this conversion.
Options: Dynamic Threshold,
Dynamic Threshold (AD), Fixed
Processing, Halftone 1~5, Error
Diffusion.
Dynamic Threshold: Selecting
Dynamic Threshold allows the scanner
to dynamically evaluate each document
to determine the optimal threshold value
to produce the highest quality image.
This is used to scan mixed document
containing faint text, shaded background,
or color background with a single setting.
If Dynamic Threshold is selected,
Threshold, Brightness, and Contrast are
not available.

Dynamic Threshold (AD): Selecting

Dynamic Threshold (AD) to perform
the enhanced mode of the Dynamic
Threshold feature. However, using this
mode may slow down your scanning
speed.

Sensitivity of Dynamic Threshold

Occasionally your scanned image may
contain small dots or speckles. To remove
these spots, increase the sensitivity value
by moving the bar to the right. The value
ranges from 1 to 30. The default is 20.

4-12
 User’s Manual

Fixed Processing: Used 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. Fixed Processing sets Contrast to
0. If Fixed Processing is selected,
Contrast is not available.

Halftone: In addition to the black and

white display, Halftone can present a
somehow gray shade of image by using
different size of dots. Halftone image looks
like the picture we have seen in the
newspaper. Options include Halftone 1,
Halftone 2, Halftone 3, Halftone 4,
Halftone 5.

Error Diffusion: Error Diffusion is a type

of Halftone. Error Diffusion gives good
image texture and makes text in images
more readable than Halftone.

Threshold Used to convert a grayscale image to a

bi-tonal image. The value ranges from 0 to

lighter image, and can be used to subdue
backgrounds and subtle, unneeded
information. A high threshold value produces
a darker image, and can be used to help pick
up faint images.

Resolution A good control of the resolution results a

good detail of an image that scans. The
resolution is measured by dots per inch
(dpi). Normally, the greater the dpi number,
the higher the resolution and the image file
size. Be aware that greater resolution takes
more time to scan, and more disk space for
the scanning image. For your information,
an A4 size color image scanned at 300 dpi at
True Color mode consumes approximately 25
MB of disk space. A higher resolution
(usually means over 600 dpi) is only
recommended when you need to scan a
small area at True Color mode.
Choose a resolution value from the drop
down list. The default value is 200 dpi.
Available resolutions are 75, 100, 150, 200,
300, 400 and 600. Or you may choose your
desired value by clicking the box in the right
side of the drop down list and press the
arrow key to select your desired value and
then click the Add button to include it in the
drop down list. Note: The resolution is up to
300 dpi if an imprinter or a MICR reader is
installed or connected to the scanner.

example, pages from newspaper clipping,
paper with wrinkles or curls.
 Flatbed (book): Used to scan several
inside pages from book.
 Automatic: Allow the scanner automatically
set its scan source. If Automatic is selected
and there is document in both the auto
document feeder (ADF) and the flatbed, then
the scan source will be automatically set to
ADF. If Automatic is selected and there is
document only in flatbed, then the scan

 Merge Two Sides into One Image:
If you have a sheet-fed duplex scanner with
front input tray, you can scan an A3 size
document with an innovative method. Thus,
fold your A3 size document into A4, and then
load the paper in the front tray. Choose
Merge Two Sides from the Scan Source
option and then the scanner is able to scan
both sides of your document and merge two
A4 images into one A3 image.

When you select Merge Two Sides into One

Image, the Cropping or Multi-feed function
will be disabled.

Note: This feature must be used with a

carrier sheet. Regarding how to load a
document with a Carrier Sheet, refer to

4.4 The Compression Tab

The Compression tab allows you to compress your scanned

image and choose the level of compression. Bi-tonal images
are normally compressed using CCITT standard called Group 4
(G4). Color and grayscale images are often compressed using
JPEG technology. Move the JPEG Quality slider to the right or
left to increase or decrease the level of compression. Note the
greater the compression level, the lower image quality. Default
is 50%.

Note that the compression depends on your image editing

application. If your image editing application does not support
the type of compression format, then either a warning message
will appear or the image quality of the compressed file will not
be acceptable.

JPEG (Joint Photographic Editor Group). This group developed

and lent their name to a file compression standard for color and
grayscale images that is widely used by scanners, and software
applications. On Microsoft Windows-based systems, a file with
the extension .jpg has normally been compressed using this
standard.

For scanning color or gray images, the following compressions

are available:
 None
 JPEG

For scanning B&W images, the following compressions are

available:
 None

Carrier Sheet Mode:
Check this option to automatically crop the scan window
according to your document size when scanning non-standard
document (fragile, irregular-size document) with a carrier sheet
(optional). Note: The availability of this option varies due to
scanner model.

Loading Documents Using a Carrier Sheet

A Carrier Sheet is a plastic sheet specifically used for loading

non-standard document onto the scanner. It allows you to scan
document that can not be scanned in the regular way. Also,
documents larger than A4 size, such as A3 and B4, can be
scanned by folding in half, inserting into the Carrier Sheet, and
scanning in duplex mode. You can also scan documents that
can be damaged quite easily such as photographs, or irregular
size documents that are difficult to load directly such as
clippings.

To scan document using a Carrier Sheet,

For documents larger than A4/Letter size, such as A3

a. Fold the sheet to be scanned in half.
b. Fold the sheet tightly and smooth out crease. Otherwise,
the sheet may be skewed during scanning.

1. Open the Carrier Sheet and place the document

inside.
Align the top of the document to the top of the Carrier
Sheet (the printed area).

For documents larger than A4/letter size, such as

A3
Align the top of the document to the top of the Carrier
Sheet (the printed section) and the folded portion to the
right edge of the Carrier Sheet so that the document fits
into the Carrier Sheet at the upper corner.

For non-standard document

Center your document in the Carrier Sheet.

2. Load the Carrier Sheet with the gray section (printed

section) facing downwards.

3. Adjust the paper guides to the width of the Carrier Sheet.

Adjust the paper guides so that there is no space
between the guides and the Carrier sheet. Space between
the guides and Carrier Sheet may cause the Carrier Sheet
to become unaligned during scanning, and skew the
scanned image.
4. Start the scan.

OverScan
Overscan allows you to add a specific margin at top and bottom

Despeckle

Occasionally small dots or specks appear in the background of

a scanned image. Remove unwanted speckles provides a
cleaner image for OCR (Optical Character Recognition)
processing, and also helps to reduce compressed file size.

Define the speckles (also known as image noise) you wish to

remove by specifying its number (size) and radius (range). The
measuring unit is pixel. The higher the number, the more
speckles will be removed.

Before Despeckle
(noise number:0, noise radius:1)

After Despeckle
(noise number:22, noise radius:10)

Note:
 The function is currently available for Black and White
image only.
 To scan at rated speed, it is recommended to set the
noise radius up to 10 pixels.
