Adjust the scan settings
Regardless of the Scan Workflow, you are able to modify some of the default scan settings prior to scanning. Select any of the options on the screen to make the changes to the settings you require.
Default settings for scan type and duplexing are set on the server through the Scan-to-Me (or similar) options. These settings are used by default when scanning to any scan destination and can be changed.
- Original size
Select the resulting scan size from a variety of different paper sizes, or allow the device auto-detect the size based upon the original document.
Typically, leaving this setting at Auto Detect is sufficient for devices that are unable to detect page sizes automatically. Otherwise, set an appropriate page size as they will be tracked as unspecified size.
- Output color
Select if the resulting scan is:
- Black&White (for strictly text based documents)
- Grayscale (for mixed text and graphics with no color)
- Full Color (for full color documents containing either text or graphics)
- Resolution
- Select the resolution (in dpi) of the resulting scan. The default value is 200.
- Original type
- Select the type of document you are scanning (Text, Photo, or Text / Photo) to set optimum settings for the scan.
- Feed type
- Select the feed type of paper you are scanning (1 Sided Original, Double-Sided (Book) or Double-Sided (Calendar)). By default, the setting for this is 1 Sided Original.
- Brightness
- Set the brightness level of the resulting scan. Higher numbers result in lighter scans which can bring out details in dark source documents.
