Available Scan Settings for ControlCenter4 Advanced Mode

The scan options may vary by model.

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

- Target Application: S elect the destination application from the drop-down list.

- OCR Language: Set the optical character recognition (OCR) language to match the language of the scanned document's text.

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

- Destination Folder: Click the folder icon to browse and select the folder where you want to save your scanned documents.

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

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

- 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 color depths.

- Auto: Use for any type of document. This mode automatically picks an appropriate color 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 gray images without using true gray dots. Black dots are put in a specific pattern to give a gray appearance.)
- True Gray: Use for photographic images or graphics. This mode is more accurate because it uses up to 256 shades of gray.
- 24bit Color: Use to create an image with the most accurate color reproduction. This mode uses up to 16.8 million colors 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 the 1 to 2 (A4) option, 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 gray 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 scanner glass or ADF (Automatic Document Feeder - for certain models).  After a page is scanned, either continue scanning to add more, 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 an identification card onto one page.

- Advanced Settings: Click the Advanced Settings button in the scan settings dialog box to configure advanced settings.
