  • Page 55: Functions

    6. Appendices Functions The scanner driver can be used to perform the following image processing functions: Preview (P.44) Scan (P.45) Scanning Composition (P.45) Binary Scanning/Threshold (P.46) Halftone Scanning (P.47) Gray Scale Scanning (P.48) Area Extraction (P.49) Section Area (Multi-area Settings) (P.50) Auto Photo/Letter (P.51)

  • Page 56: Scan

    Functions Scan This function scans an original once the scanning area, scanning composition, resolution, and other values have been set. When setting these values, consideration should be given to the original that is to be scanned and to the output device (display, printer, etc.). For example, it is meaningless to scan an original at high resolution if the resolution of the output device is lower than the scanning resolution, especially because high-resolution scanning uses a great deal of memory and requires more processing time.

  • Page 57: Binary Scanning/Threshold

    6. Appendices Binary Scanning/Threshold The binary scanning function converts the original into black and white image data. If the original contains any intermediate colors, they are compared with the threshold value and determined to be either black or white accordingly. The threshold value can be set to any of 255 gradations; any intermediate colors that are brighter than the threshold value are scanned as “white,”...

  • Page 58: Halftone Scanning

    Functions Halftone Scanning Halftone scanning converts the original into an image consisting of pseudo-halftones produced by dot shading (in which shading is achieved through combinations of black and white dots, as in newspaper photographs). This function is used to output an original that has intermediate tones, such as a photo, on an output device that can only produce monochrome output, such as a laser printer.

  • Page 59: Gray Scale Scanning

    6. Appendices 70 LPI 95 LPI 180 LPI Gray Scale Scanning Glay Scale scanning converts an original into image data consisting of 4-bit or 8-bit gradations. Four bits can express 16 gradations, and eight bits can express 256 gradations. This function is used to output an original that contains intermediate tones on an output device that can express intermediate tones for a single pixel, such as a display or a Dye Sublimation printer.

  • Page 60: Area Extraction

    Functions Area Extraction This function extracts and scans a specified rectangular area within a scanning area. For example, to scan just the photograph portion of the original shown below, specify the area where the photograph is located. The rectangular area is specified by specifying the coordinates of the upper left corner of the rectangle, and the vertical and horizontal lengths.

  • Page 61: Section Area (Multi-Area Settings)

    6. Appendices Section Area (Multi-area Settings) This function permits the specification of up to four rectangular areas of any size within the scanning area, each of which can be set as the scanning area. When overlapping areas are set, the area that was set last takes priority.

  • Page 62: Auto Photo/Letter

    Functions Auto Photo/Letter This function automatically determines whether the image being scanned is text (binary image) or photo (intermediate tone image), and scans the text areas in binary scanning mode and the photos in halftone scanning mode. This function is used in order to automatically scan text in binary scanning mode and photos in halftone scanning mode.

  • Page 63: Resolution

    6. Appendices Resolution This function permits setting separate resolutions for the main-scanning and the sub-scanning, over a range of 100dpi to 800dpi (in 1dpi increments) for each. A high resolution setting requires more free space in memory and requires more processing time. Basically, when outputting a scanned image that is the same size as the original image, set the same resolution as that of the output device.

  • Page 64: Brightness

    Functions Brightness The brightness can be adjusted to 255 levels. If a high value is set for the brightness, the image will become brighter overall. If a low value is set, the image will become darker overall. When scanning a dark original, set a high value for the brightness; when scanning a bright original, set a low value for the brightness.

  • Page 65: Gamma Correction

    6. Appendices Gamma Correction The following types of gamma correction are possible. However, different models of output devices have different characteristics. Select a suitable gamma curve for the original that is to be scanned and the output device. Normal Emphasizes the contrast slightly, resulting in a somewhat sharp scanned image. Sharp Emphasizes the contrast, resulting in a sharp scanned image.

  • Page 66: Binary Filters

    Functions Binary Filters The following two filters can be used for binary scanning. Noise removal This filter used to eliminate the unnecessary small dots that appear when scanning an original that is the result of several generations of photocopying. When filter is not used When filter is used Smoothing This filter is used to smooth out small bumps within an image.

  • Page 68: Erase Background

    Functions Erase Background This function permits selection of the white side dynamic range for scanning. When Erase Background is disabled The dynamic range is set so that a white original (D value: 0.07) reaches maximum output. When Erase Background is enabled During scanning, the portion of the original that is closest to white is deemed to be white, and the dynamic range is set so that the portion in question reaches maximum output.
