  • Page 8: Main Tab

    Main tab The Main tab provides the following options. Dots per inch (dpi) or resolution ⎯ indicates the scanning resolution, which largely determines the quality of the scanned image. The greater the resolution, the better the reproduction. However, scanning at a higher resolution also increases scanning time and file size.
  • Page 9 • Relative to Document: (zone processing): (used for batches of same-sized documents) — zone processing is a floating fixed crop window (the zone) located relative to the upper left corner of a document. It allows you to select an area on the document to be delivered in either color/grayscale or black and white format (a separate window for both black and white and color/grayscale may be defined).

  • Page 10: Layout Tab

    Layout tab The Layout tab provides the following options. Page Size ⎯ the default page size is set when a scanner is first selected. You can choose a different page size using the drop-down list.
