  • Page 7: 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 8 (you may want that small area in color/grayscale and the rest in black and white). To define a zone, select the Layout tab. • Photo: the scanner will locate the photograph on the document and return an image that contains just the photograph. If the scanner finds more than one photograph on a document, one image is still returned.
  • Page 9 Threshold (Brightness) — this option is available when you select Fixed Processing or Adaptive Thresholding (ATP). This option allows you to change the black and white image to be darker or lighter. The higher the threshold value, the darker the image. Use the slider to select a value from 0 to 255.

  • Page 12 0.3175 cm (1/8-inch) increments. This option is not available in Pixels mode. • X: the distance from the left end of the scanner to the left-edge of the scanning area. • Y: the position from the top end of the document to the top end of the scanning area.

  • Page 13: Image Processing Tab

    Image Processing tab The Image Processing tab provides the following options: General Options • Deskew ⎯ automatically straightens a document within ±0.3 degrees of the leading edge of the document. Deskew can detect up to a 45-degree skew and correct up to a 24-degree angle at 200 dpi or a 10-degree skew angle at 300 dpi.
  • Page 14 • Photographs: when the documents you want to scan are comprised mainly of photos. Streak Filter — allows you to configure the scanner to filter vertical streaks from your images. Streaks are lines which may appear on an image and are not part of the original document. Streaks may be caused by contaminants on your documents (e.g., dirt, dust or frayed...

  • Page 15: Dropout Tab

    (i.e., remove the form’s lines and boxes). For black and white images, these settings effect the grayscale version of the document which the scanner analyzes to produce that electronic image. • Color: select the desired dropout color.

  • Page 18: Blank Page Detection Tab

    Blank Page Detection tab A-61654/ISIS December 2009 Blank Image Detection allows you to configure the scanner to not give blank images to the scanning application. Select the image size (KB), below which an image is determined to be blank. Images with sizes less than the number you select will not be created.

  • Page 19: About Tab

    Configuring Scanner settings The About tab displays information about your scanner and driver. To access scanner settings from the ISIS Driver, go into the Scan Validation tool as described earlier in this guide and access the ISIS driver. • Click Scanner to configure settings associated with the scanner. The following sections provide descriptions and procedures for configuring Scanner settings.

  • Page 20: Scanner Tab

    10 seconds for documents to be placed in the input elevator before scanning will begin. Timeout — allows you to set the amount of time the scanner will wait after the last document enters the transport before the transport timeout action is taken.
  • Page 21 • Not all combinations of settings are supported at the larger lengths (i.e, resolution, color, grayscale, etc.). To allow for greater flexibility with applications, the scanner will not generate an error until it sees a document whose length is not supported.

  • Page 22: Multifeed Detection Tab

    (.50-inch) greater than the length of the currently selected page size. Ultrasonic Detection — check this option to set multifeed detection. • Sensitivity — controls how aggressively the scanner will work to determine if more than one document is fed into the transport.
  • Page 23 “sticky” note on it, you can turn off the left sensor. • Action — select what action you want the scanner to take when a multifeed is detected. With all options, the condition will be logged in the scanner.

  • Page 25 • Custom: allows you to manually adjust the Color Amount and/or Color Threshold. NOTE: When setting Auto Color Detect values, it is suggested that you start with the Medium option and scan a typical job set. If too many documents were returned as color/grayscale vs. black and white, then change to the High option and re-run the job.

  • Page 26: Imprinter Tab

    Imprinter tab A-61654/ISIS December 2009 The Enhanced Printer operates at full scanner speed. The printer can add a date, time, document sequential counter, and custom messages.

  • Page 27 Counter — if you want to add a Counter to the print string, you can enter one of the following options: • Field Width: used to control the width of the document counter. Values range from 1 to 9. • Format — allows you to configure the format of the counter when the width of the value is less than the field width (the examples indicate a field width of 3 and the counter at 4).

  • Page 28: Logs Tab
