Document Source
Configuration
Some options in the interface may be grayed out and cannot be selected. Grayed out options are
either not appropriate for the current scanner, the software needed to enable the feature is not
installed, or the feature is 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.
Select Basic or Advanced from the list to show the basic or advanced document source
configuration options as described below.
Basic Options
• 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.
