2.1 Scanner Properties
The Scanner Properties window allows you to specify how documents are to be scanned. This includes
setting the resolution, page orientation, color preferences, and whether documents are scanned in simplex
or duplex mode.
2.1.1 Source
The
Source
drop-down list is used to select how the document is to be fed into the scanner.
If Flatbed is
selected, documents are scanned from the glass and can only be scanned single-sided.
If ADF (Automatic Document Feeder) is selected, documents are scanned from the loading tray. When
ADF and
Duplex are selected, both sides of the document are scanned, but the top loaded side is output to
the PC first followed by the back side.
2.1.2 Destination
This property is not available with BBH scanners.
2.1.3 Resolution (DPI)
This function specifies the resolution DPI (dots per inch) for the main and subdocument scanning
parameters. The available resolution setting ranges are 100
to 600 dpi. The typical dpi setting is 200 for
bitonal documents and 150 for color documents.
When the resolution is increased, the image becomes clearer. However, the image file size increases, PC
HDD (Hard Disk Drive) free space decreases and additional scanning time increases. For regular high dpi
scanning, you may consider purchasing a memory upgrade kit to increase the scanning speed.
