Scan Settings
Currently, the Unified Client for Canon supports a subset of the settings and options that are originally available on Canon devices. These are as follows:
| Setting | Options | Notes/Limitations |
|---|---|---|
| File format | JPEG, PDF, PDF/A, TIFF, TIFF/JPEG (Auto) | Note that you cannot use TIFF for color scans and JPEG for B&W scans, PDF (Compact) is currently not supported. |
| Color Mode | Auto (Color/Gray), Full Color, Black & White | |
| Resolution | 100x100 dpi, 150x150 dpi, 200x200 dpi, 300x300 dpi, 400x400 dpi, 600x600 dpi | The mixed resolutions are not supported (for example 200x100 dpi). |
| Original Type |
Text/Photo, Text, Photo |
Slider for the Text/Photo option is not supported, we use the device default option. |
| 2-Sided Original |
One Sided, Book, Calendar |
If you select any two-sided setting, you must use the ADF. |
| Scan Size | Auto, Mixed Size - Same Width, Mixed Size - Different Width, A3 Landscape, A4 Portrait, A4 Landscape, A5 Portrait, A5 Landscape, A6 Landscape, B4 Landscape, B5 Portrait, B5 Landscape, Ledger, Legal Landscape, Letter Portrait, Letter Landscape, Folio, Statement Portrait, Statement Landscape, Executive Portrait, Executive Landscape | The selected scan size must also be supported physically by the device to be able to start scanning with the selected paper size. Otherwise, the scan will either fail (when scanning from glass) or will be performed with a default valid scan size for the device (when scanning from ADF). |
| Density |
0-16 |
|
| Sharpness | 0-6 | |
| Job Build | Off, On |
The change in settings is only applied when leaving the
Scan Settings screen using the
Done button. The left arrow
acts as a
Cancel button and when clicked, the changes are not applied. When selecting scanner settings options in a way that they form an invalid set of options (for example, TIFF with Full Color), the application automatically adjusts the settings when trying to start the scan job and produce an information level notification to the user.
