Advanced Properties - Toggle Color Mode - Ngenuity Scanners

Use the Toggle Color Mode panel to enable color mode switching between color/grayscale and black and white scanner settings. When you are scanning a batch containing both color/grayscale and black and white documents, toggling to black and white before scanning black and white documents reduces the additional time and storage required to scan the same documents using color or grayscale mode.

You use color mode switching in conjunction with unique toggle patch sheets that contain patch codes (4, 7, 8, or 9) on the front side. When the Toggle Color Mode feature is enabled and a toggle patch sheet is scanned, the scanner automatically switches to the opposite color mode. All subsequent documents are scanned with the new color mode until another toggle patch sheet is scanned. Click here to see how different patch code types affect the results.

The Toggle Color Mode feature is used only for batch scanning with no predefined stops (that is, the operating mode is not set to First Page or Every Page).

You can use the Toggle Color Mode panel to do the following:

• Select color mode switching for one or both sides of documents
• Set a dpi value for scanning black and white images (settings for color images are applied in the scanning application)
• View current Toggle Color Mode settings for Auto Brightness, Brightness, Contrast, and Gamma for black and white scanning
