Default Content

Tell the printer the original document type. Choose from Text, Mixed, or Photo. Content affects the quality and size of your scanned file.

Text—Emphasizes sharp, black, high-resolution text against a clean, white background. Use Text mode when text preservation is the main goal of the scan, and preserving images copied from the original document is not a concern. Text mode is recommended for receipts, carbon copy forms, and documents that contain only text or fine line art.

Mixed—Used when the original documents are a mixture of text and graphics or pictures. Mixed mode is recommended for magazine articles, business graphics, and brochures.

Photo—Tells the scanner to pay extra attention to graphics and pictures. This setting increases the time it takes to scan, but emphasizes a reproduction of the full dynamic range of tones in the original document. This increases the amount of information saved. Use Photo mode when scanning photos printed on a laser printer or taken from a magazine or newspaper.

Darkness

Adjust how light or dark your scanned documents will turn out in relation to the original document.

Color

Tell the printer the color of the original documents. You can select Gray, BW (Black and White), or Color.

Resolution

Adjust the output quality of your file. Increasing the image resolution increases the file size and the time needed to scan your original document. Image resolution can be decreased to reduce the file size.

Duplex

Tell the printer if your original document is simplex (printed on one side) or duplex (printed on both sides). This lets the scanner know what needs to be scanned for inclusion in the document.

Note: Duplex may not be available on all printer models.

Orientation

Tell the printer whether the original document is in portrait or landscape orientation and then change the Sides and Binding settings to match the original document orientation.

Original Size

Set the size of the documents you are going to scan. When Original Size is set to Mixed Sizes, you can scan an original document that contains mixed paper sizes (letter- and legal-size pages).

Background Removal

Adjust the white portion of the output. Click the arrow buttons to increase or decrease the white portion.

Contrast

Adjust the intensity of an image. Click the arrow buttons to increase or decrease the contrast.

Shadow Detail

Adjust the details visible in areas that are darkest in the image being scanned. Click the arrow buttons to increase or decrease the visible detail in the shadows.

Scan edge to edge

Specify if the original document is scanned edge-to-edge prior to scanning.

Mirror Image

Create a mirror image scan.

Format Type

Set the output (PDF, JPEG, TIFF) for the scanned image.

• PDF—Creates a single file with multiple pages, viewable with Adobe Reader. Adobe Reader is provided free by Adobe at www.adobe.com.

• JPEG—Creates and attaches a separate file for each page of your original document, viewable by most Web browsers and graphics programs

• TIFF—Creates multiple files or a single file. If Multi-page TIFF is turned off in the Settings menu of the Embedded Web Server, then TIFF saves one page in each file. The file size is usually larger than an equivalent JPEG.

Compression

Set the format used to compress the scanned output file.
