  • Page 9: 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 37 Format Template — the format template is used to build the print string. The print string is what is printed on documents as they pass through the transport. If using the front printer, the print string is printed before the document is scanned, therefore, it is part of the image. If using the rear printer (i5850 Scanner), the documents are printed after scanning, therefore, the printing will not be on the image.
  • Page 38 Units — select Inches, Centimeters or Pixels. • Font — you can select what orientation you want your information to be printed: Normal, Large and Bold. Normal: 90° rotation Large: 90° rotation Bold: 90° rotation - Rotation — while the characters are printed vertically (starting at the lead edge of the document) this allows you to select the orientation of the print string.

  • Page 39: Image Address Tab (I5850 Scanner Only)

    The scanner will increment the indexes based on how you set up the selections on this tab.
