Document Settings

Skip Blank Originals

Select this option to have the scanner detect if a blank page has been fed through the scanner,
and remove it from the final file.
• Blank threshold—you can use the Threshold slider to fine tune the sensitivity of the blank
image detection. The results will depend on the scan settings and the types of documents
being scanned. In general leave the threshold level at the default setting if you are scanning
good-quality documents printed on standard 20lb printer paper. Try lowering the sensitivity
level if your documents contain light colored text or drawings so those pages are not detected
as blank. Raise the sensitivity level if you are scanning double-sided light-weight paper where
images from the opposite side of the page may appear in the image of the blank side.

Clean Up Edges

Select this option to remove any thin lines from around the edges of the final scan. This option will
fill the margins of the image with the detected edge color. When you select this option, the Width
input field will automatically enable for you to input the size of the area you want to have filled
with the background color. You can specify a fill size between approximately 0.04 to 0.39 inches
(1 mm to 10 mm).

Automatic Image Cropping

Depending on the scanner model and installed software, there may be more than one automatic
cropping option in the interface.
• Crop to original—select this option to let the scanner automatically determine the size of
the item being scanned. This option is only available if the scanner supports this feature. This
option may occasionally be grayed out as not all scanning applications support this feature.
Always properly adjust the paper guides to the width of the paper in the input tray so that the
pages feed into the scanner as straight as possible. Skewed pages may not crop properly.
• Crop to length—this option tells the scanner to crop the final image to the bottom of the
page being scanned. This option is only available if the scanner supports this feature. This
option may occasionally be grayed out as not all scanning applications support this feature.

Compression Options

There are two types of image compression functions used during scanning. The input
compression option is compressing the image when transferring it from the scanner to the TWAIN
driver on the computer. The output compression option is the TWAIN driver compressing the
image before it sends the image to the scanning application. In the scanning interface the input
compression option is Compress transfers and the output option is Compression.
The Compress transfers option described herein compresses the image for faster transfer from
the scanner to the computer. The driver uncompresses the image and transfers the uncompressed
image to the scanning application. The Compression option will often be disabled as most
applications do not support receiving a compressed image file from the scanner driver.
