Basic Scan Jobs - Default
Advised settings for scan jobs
Introduction
A default scan job takes three steps: feed the original face up, select the location in the scan
Smart Access, and tap the green button.
When you change the presets or the advanced settings it is called an extended scan job.
Advised settings for scan to greyscale or black and white file
It is best to predefine the advised settings for scan jobs you do most often.
In the table below you find the advised settings for specific scan-to-file jobs. In most cases, the
advised settings give the best results.
