Image Selection check boxes
Select the check boxes to set the color mode for both the front and the back of your document. For example,
to scan both the front and back of a color document page in color, select the Front Color and Back Color
check boxes. For a black and white scan of the front and a color scan of the back, select Front B&W and
Back Color.
NOTE
• Select more than one image type check box to generate multiple scan results from a single scan.
For example, if you select Front Color and Front Gray, and then scan your document, scan data in
both color and gray is saved.
• If you select Front Auto Color Detection, you must select Back Auto Color Detection as a back image
type (and the other way round). These two options work only with each other.
• Back Auto Color Detection, Back Color, Back Gray and Back B&W is not available when using the
scanner glass.

Binarization (B&W mode only)
Binarization is the process of converting a grayscale or color image into a black and white image. There
are several methods of performing this conversion.
Conversion Methods
Dynamic Threshold
Fixed Processing
Halftone 1-5
Description
Select Color if your original is in color and you want an exact copy.
Select Gray if your original contains shades of gray.
Select B&W if your original is typed, written in pencil, or written in pen.
Select Auto Color Detection to automatically detect and scan the front or back of your color
document. If your document is in color, the machine automatically scans the document as a
color image. If your document is not in color, select either Black and White or Gray from the
Non-Color Selection drop-down list. Use this option if your document is multi-page and
includes both color and black and white.
Description
Select Dynamic Threshold to allow the machine to dynamically evaluate each document
to produce the highest quality image. Select this option to scan documents containing faint
text, shaded background, or color background. If you select Dynamic Threshold:
Threshold, Brightness, and Contrast are not available.
Select Fixed Processing for black and white and other high-contrast documents. A single
level is set to determine the black and white transition. The threshold is programmable
over the entire density range. If you select Fixed Processing, Contrast is not available.
Select Halftone to view a gray image composed of different-sized dots. In other machines,
this is sometimes called "Grayscale".
