appropriate for the current scanner, the software needed to enable the feature is not installed,
dependent on another setting in the scanner's interface. Hover the mouse cursor over a grayed out feature to see
information about why the feature is unavailable.

ASIC PTIONS
• Auto source—when scanning in basic mode, this option is always enabled and cannot be changed.
• Duplex—select this option to scan both sides of the item in the scanner.
Click the drop down menu to select the color mode you want to use.
• Color scans the document in color, creating a full color copy of an original document or photograph. Color
scans have the largest file size.
• Gray scans the document using varying shades of gray to reproduce the document. The grayscale scan
mode is often used when scanning documents or graphics where the original color does not need to be
retained, but the graphics need to be legible. Grayscale scanning preserves the graphic quality while
keeping the file size less than that of a full color scan.
• Black and White scans the document in bitonal where everything on the page is either black or white. This
setting is often used when scanning typed or written documents. When there are not a lot of graphics, or if
the graphics are not needed, this setting is ideal for archiving documents to a server or on a disc, send
through email, or posting to a web page, as the file size is smaller than the other scanning modes.

DVANCED PTIONS
• Auto source—select this option to have the scanner automatically determine where the paper is in the
scanner. This option is only available if your scanner has more than one paper source option, such an ADF
with a front feed tray scanner, or an ADF with a flatbed combination scanner. When this option is not
selected, you can select which source you want to use in the scan mode list.
• Multi-stream—select this option to have the scanner create an image of each item scanned in each color
mode selected in the source list.
