File Type
  Select the file type you want to use for the scanned data.

  - Windows Bitmap (*.bmp)
  - JPEG (*.jpg) (recommended for most users when scanning pictures. )
  - TIFF (*.tif)
  - TIFF Multi-Page (*.tif)
  - Portable Network Graphics (*.png)
  - PDF (*.pdf) (recommended for scanning and sharing documents.)
  - High Compression PDF (*.pdf)
  - Secure PDF (*.pdf)
  - XML Paper Specification (*.xps) (The XML Paper Specification is available for Windows Vista®, Windows® 7 and Windows® 8 or when using applications that support XML Paper Specification files.)

Target Application
  Select the destination application from the drop-down list.

Destination File Path
  Click Change to change the prefix of the file name and the path of the destination folder.

File Name
  Type a prefix for your file name, if needed.

Insert Date in File Name
  Select to automatically insert the date in the file name of the scanned image.

Scan Location

  Select the Folder or SharePoint button to specify the destination where you would like to save your scanned documents.

Show Folder
  Select this option to automatically display the destination folder after scanning.

Show Save As Window
  Select this option if you want to specify the destination of the scanned image every time you scan.

File size
  Adjust the data compression ratio of the scanned image. Change the file size by moving the File size slider to the right or left.

PreScan
  Select PreScan to preview your image and crop unwanted portions before scanning.

Resolution
  Select a scanning resolution from the Resolution drop-down list. Higher resolutions take more memory and transfer time, but produce a finer scanned image.

Scan Type
  Select from a range of scan colour depths.
  - Auto
      Use for any type of document. This mode automatically picks an appropriate colour depth for the document.
  - Black & White
      Use for text or line art images.
  - Gray (Error Diffusion)
      Use for photographic images or graphics. (Error Diffusion is a method for creating simulated grey images without using true grey dots. Black dots are put in a specific pattern to give a grey appearance.)
  - True Gray
      Use for photographic images or graphics. This mode is more accurate because it uses up to 256 shades of grey.
  - 24bit Color
      Use to create an image with the most accurate colour reproduction. This mode uses up to 16.8 million colours to scan the image, but it requires the most memory and has the longest transfer time.

Document Size
  Select the exact size of your document from the Document Size drop-down list.
  - If you select 1 to 2 (A4), the scanned image will be divided into two A5-size documents.

Brightness
  Set the Brightness level by dragging the slider to the right or left to lighten or darken the image. If the scanned image is too light, set a lower brightness level and scan the document again. If the image is too dark, set a higher brightness level and scan the document again. You can also type a value into the field to set the Brightness level.

Contrast
  Increase or decrease the Contrast level by moving the slider to the right or left. An increase emphasizes dark and light areas of the image, while a decrease reveals more details in grey areas. You can also type a value into the field to set the Contrast level.

Continuous Scanning
  Select this option to scan multiple pages from the flatbed or ADF. After a page is scanned, either continue scanning or finish. Use this method to scan more pages than the maximum ADF capacity.

ID Card Scan

  Select this check box to scan both sides of the identification card onto one page.

Advanced Settings
  Configure advanced settings by clicking the Advanced Settings button in the Scan Settings dialog box.
  - Remove Background Color
      Remove the base colour of documents to make the scanned data more legible. Choose from three settings: high, medium, and low.

      (available only for the Auto, True Gray and 24bit Color options)

Default
  Select this option to restore all settings to their factory setting values.
