Advised settings for scan jobs

Introduction

When you use a certain type of original document you can select specific templates and settings that influence the quality and productivity of your job. Use the advised settings in the table below to get the best results.

Workflow

  1. Start by selecting the best template for your job. Use the table below for the eleven factory installed scan templates.

    Several scan templates are factory installed on the system, and you can create new scan templates in WebTools Express. The first five factory installed templates are available on the user panel after installation. You can enable or disable the templates via WebTools Express. For more information, see Create a new template and Enable or disable scan templates.

  2. When you then want to further optimize the settings, you can select the advanced settings when you tap the scan tile on the user panel. When you want to influence the imaging process and thus optimize the output quality, you can select the corresponding [Original type] for your job. For more information, see Advanced settings for scan jobs and The original type.
