Advanced settings for scan jobs

Introduction

When you tap the Scan tile on the multi-touch user panel, you can select a template.

When you select a template and tap it again, a window with all settings opens. The following table gives an overview and a short description of the available settings on the printer. You can find a detailed description of each setting in WebTools Express.

NOTE

The values for the compression mode and organization change depending on the color mode and file type you select. In some situation and for some file types you cannot set the compression and organization settings. For more information on this, see File type.

Category: [File]

Setting	Settings values	Settings values	Function
[File type]	[File type]	[TIFF] [TIFF multipage] [PDF] [PDF multipage] [PDF/A] [PDF multipage] [JPEG] [CALS]	[The file type of the scanned image. The list of file types depends on scan to color, grayscale, or black-and-white: CALS is only available when scanning to black-and-white; JPEG is not available when scanning to black-and-white.]
	[Compression]	[Group 4] [Group 3] [Flate] [Packbits] [JPEG] [LZW] [None]	The compression type when scanning to TIFF or to PDF. Depends on the [File type].
	[JPEG quality]	[Maximum] [High] [Medium] [Low]	The image quality when scanning to JPEG and to PDF with JPEG compression. With a lower quality, the compression increases giving a smaller file size.
	[Organization]	[Raw] [Striped] [Tiled]	[The file organization when scanning to TIFF.]

Setting	Settings values		Function
[Resolution]	[100] [200] [300] [400] [600]	[The resolution of the scanned image in dpi.]
[Color mode]	[Color] [Grayscale] [Black and white]	[Defines whether a color, grayscale or black-and-white scan is to be made. Some combinations of "Color mode" and "File type" are invalid: changing "Color mode" may reset "File type", "Compression for TIFF" and "Compression for PDF".]

Category: [Original]

Settings values	Settings values	Function
[Original type]	[Lines/text standard] [Folded lines/text] [Colored original] [Artwork] [Map] [Blueprint] [Dark original] [Photo]	Define the type of original you use. The choice depends on the chosen [Color mode]. For more information on choosing the correct original type, see The original type.
[Original width]	[Auto]	The width of the original is automatically detected by the scanner.
	[Standard]	The width of the original is a standard size. Select one of the available standard sizes from the list. NOTE Depends on the media series defined in WebTools Express
	[Custom]	The width of the original is a custom size. You can enter a size within the range of 210 to 914 mm or 8.5 to 36 inch.

Settings values	Settings values	Function
[Remove strip]	[Remove top strip]	[Erase a strip from the beginning of the original.] From 0 to 400 mm or 0 to 16 inch.
	[Remove bottom strip]	[Erase a strip from the bottom of the original.] From 0 to 400 mm or 0 to 16 inch.
	[Remove left strip]	[Erase a strip from the left side of the original. ] From 0 to 400 mm or 0 to 16 inch.
	[Remove right strip]	[Erase a strip from the right side of the original.] From 0 to 400 mm or 0 to 16 inch.
[Mirror]	[On] [Off]	[When “on”, the image is mirrored along the vertical axis (the media transport direction). ] Set to [On] for strongly curled transparent originals that have to be fed upside down in the scanner. Or for (dark) transparent originals that have the information printed on the back.

Category: [Quality]

Setting	Settings values	Function
[Scan quality]	[Automatic] [Normal] [High]	Define the quality of the scan. [Automatic] is the default value that selects the best scan quality value for your job based on your scan settings. Select [High] to scan with a higher resolution. This can prevent a moiré pattern for originals that contain gray or colored areas. Select [Normal] when productivity is an important factor. For pure CAD originals [Normal] is mostly sufficient.
[Lighter/Darker]	Value from -5 to 5	Define the lightness and the contrast of a scan. Increase the value for making a scan lighter, and decrease it for making a scan darker. When you make a scan darker, the information becomes darker while the background is less affected. When you make a scan lighter, weak information is not clipped to white.
[Background compensation]	[On] [Off] [Automatic]	Reduce the background noise of the image. Default is [Automatic]. Dependent of the chosen [Original type], background compensation is automatically applied or not. Override [Automatic] by selecting [On] or [Off]. The applied background compensation method depends on the chosen original type.
[Color highlighting]	[On] [Off]	Set to [On]: to make notes made with marker pens more visible. to emphasize colors, of a CAD drawings with colored information and a solely grayscale (black) background information. NOTE When the [Color mode] is set to [Color], color highlighting will make the colors more saturated. When the [Color mode] is set to [Grayscale], colors will be scanned darker than the grayscale information on the original. The setting is disabled for the original types, [Photo], [Artwork], [Blueprint].

Category: [Workflow]

Setting	Settings values	Function
[Destination]	[Type]	Select the location you want to scan to. This location remains active for the entire scan session. For more information, see Configure your locations
[Scan name]		[Scan name]	Use the keyboard to change the scan file name. The changed scan file name will be retained throughout the entire scan session.
[Scan name]		[Timestamp in scan name]	Set to [On] to add a date-time postfix to the string defined in [Scan name]. The date-time postfix contains the time the scan was made, in the format _yyyymmdd_hhmmss
[Check print]	[On] [Off]	Set to [On] to make a print of your scanned image.
