Xerox DocuMate 3125
• Color scans the document in color, creating a full color copy of an original document or
photograph. Color scans have the largest file size.
• Gray scans the document using varying shades of gray to reproduce the document. The
grayscale scan mode is often used when scanning documents or graphics where the
original color does not need to be retained, but the graphics need to be legible. Grayscale
scanning preserves the graphic quality while keeping the file size less than that of a full
color scan.
• Black and White scans the document in bitonal where everything on the page is either
black or white. This setting is often used when scanning typed or written documents. When
there are not a lot of graphics, or if the graphics are not needed, this setting is ideal for
archiving documents to a server or on a disc, send through email, or posting to a web page,
as the file size is smaller than the other scanning modes.
Sides identical
If the scanner supports two-sided (duplex) scanning, you can individually set the color mode
and other options in the scanner interface for each side of the page. This option is always
selected and grayed out if the scanner hardware does not support the feature.
(Example: Sides are identical)
While the option to enable or disable Sides identical is in the source configuration list, the color
mode is not the only option that can be individually configured for each side. Other options in
the scanner interface, such as resolution, brightness, contrast, etc... will also be individually set
for each source. After you deselect Sides identical, any changes you make in the scanner
interface will only be applied to the option that appears at the top of the list (for example,
"Input tray (Front side) Color").
To set the scanner options individually for each side:
1. Click the drop down menu and deselect Sides identical.
2. Select the color mode you want for the first side.
3. Click the top of the menu to collapse the list. Select the options in the scanner interface
that you want to use for the first side.
4. When you are done making changes for the first side, click in the source configuration list
and select the color mode for the second side.
That side selection will now be displayed in the top of the source configuration list (for
example, "Input tray (Back side) Gray").
5. Click the top of the menu to collapse the list. Select the options in the scanner interface
that you want to use for the second side.
