Pre-installation Information

Preinstallation

The product has to be setup properly on your network to perform E-mail and
filing functions. The following network parameters have to be set.

Important!
Make a copy of the following table and ask your Network Administrator
to complete the information.

1. DHCP Enable:
2. IP Address: . . .
3. Subnet Mask: . . .
4. Gateway IP: . . .
5. DNS Server: . . .
6. Mail Server: . . .
7. Port # of Mail
Server

Explanation of contents:

1. *DHCP Enable: Choose Yes to obtain IP/subnet/gateway/DNS

server/WINS server addresses automatically
from DHCP server.

2. *IP Address: The Internet Protocol (IP) address assigned to

your machine by your network administrator or
by DHCP server.

3. Subnet Mask: The net mask address assigned by your

network administrator or by DHCP server.

4. Gateway IP: The gateway IP address assigned by your

network administrator or by DHCP server or by
DHCP server.

5. *DNS server: The IP address of DNS server assigned by your

network administrator.

7
Note:
1. DHCP server: With DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), a host can
automatically be given a unique IP address each time it connects to a
network--making IP address management an easier task for network
administrators. If the DHCP server is available from your network, you do
not need to enter TCP/IP, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS information.
Instead, this information will be automatically given for the product.
2. IP Address: An IP (Internet Protocol) address uniquely identifies a host
connection to an IP network. System administrator or network designer
assigns the IP address. The IP address consists of two parts, one identifying
the network and the one identifying your node. The IP address is usually
written as four numbers separated by periods. Each number can be zero to
255. For example, 10.1.30.186 could be an IP address.
3. DNS: Stands for Domain Name System. The DNS server identifies hosts via
names instead of IP addresses. If the DNS server is available on your
network, you can enter the domain name instead of digits for the IP
address.

Selection option. This option is useful when you have a mixture of color and
non-color document.

Note: If you choose Front Rear Auto Color Detection, you can not specify the
image mode of your rear page and vice versas.

Modes of Auto Color Detection:

If [Front/Rear Auto Color Detection] is selected, its modes will be displayed.

Sensitivity of Auto Color Detection

If your documents contain primarily B&W text and small amount of light or pale
colors and you do not wish them to be recognized as color image to save the file
size, you can increase the sensitivity value by moving the bar to the right to let
these images to be detected as B&W. The value ranges from 1 to 100. The
default is 37.

Other Image Options

Binarization This is the process of converting a grayscale or color image to

a bi-tonal image. There are several different methods of
performing this conversion. Options: Dynamic
Threshold, Fixed Processing, Halftone 1~5, Error
Diffusion.

Dynamic Threshold: Selecting Dynamic Threshold

allows the scanner to dynamically evaluate each document to
determine the optimal threshold value to produce the highest
quality image. This is used to scan mixed document
containing faint text, shaded background, or color
background with a single setting. If Dynamic Threshold is
selected, Threshold, Brightness, and Contrast are not
available.

Dynamic Threshold (AD): Selecting Dynamic Threshold

(AD) to perform the enhanced mode of the Dynamic
Threshold feature. However, using this mode may slow down
your scanning speed.

Sensitivity of Dynamic Threshold

Occasionally your scanned image may contain small dots or
speckles. To remove these spots, increase the sensitivity
value by moving the bar to the right. The value ranges from
1 to 30. The default is 20.

Fixed Processing: Used for black-and-white and other high

contrast documents. A single level is set to determine the
black-and-white transition. The threshold is programmable over
the entire density range. Fixed Processing sets Contrast to 0.
If Fixed Processing is selected, Contrast is not available.

Halftone: In addition to the black and white display, Halftone

can present a somehow gray shade of image by using different
size of dots. Halftone image looks like the picture we have seen
in the newspaper. Options include Halftone 1, Halftone 2,
Halftone 3, Halftone 4, Halftone 5.
93
 Error Diffusion: Error Diffusion is a type of Halftone. Error
Diffusion gives good image texture and makes text in images
more readable than Halftone.

Halftone Image Error Diffusion Image

Dynamic Threshold Dynamic Threshold (AD)

94
Threshold Used to convert a grayscale image to a
bi-tonal image. The value ranges from 0 to 255. A low threshold
value produces a lighter image, and can be used to subdue
backgrounds and subtle, unneeded information. A high threshold
value produces a darker image, and can be used to help pick up
faint images.
Adjust the threshold setting by dragging the Threshold sliding bar to
the left or right to achieve the desired threshold setting.

Gray
Document Type: Choice: Normal, Photo, Document
Three options of document type are provided when you choose Gray as the image
type for your scanned document. Choice: Normal, Photo, Document.
 Document: Choose Document if your original contains pure text or a mixture
of text and graphic since it is an optimal setting for regular business document.
When using Document, only Threshold can be adjusted.
 Photo: Choose Photo if your original contains photo to reproduce your photo in
vivid grayscale image. When using Photo, no Threshold and Contrast can be
adjusted.
 Normal: When using Normal, Threshold, Brightness, and Contrast can be
adjusted.

Threshold: The value ranges from 0 to 255. The default is 230. A low threshold
value produces a lighter image, and can be used to subdue backgrounds and subtle,
unneeded information. A high threshold value produces a darker image, and can be
used to help pick up faint images. Adjust the threshold setting by dragging the
Threshold sliding bar to the left or right to achieve the desired threshold setting.

Brightness Adjusts the lightness or darkness of an image. The higher the
value, the brighter the image. Drag the slider to the right or
left to increase or decrease the brightness. The range is
from –100 to +100.
Contrast Adjusts the range between the darkest and the lightest shades
in the image. The higher the contrast, the bigger the different
grayscale. Drag the slider to the right or left to increase or
decrease the contrast. The range is from –100 to +100.

 Resolution A good control of the resolution results a
good detail of an image that scans. The
resolution is measured by dots per inch
(dpi). Normally, the greater the dpi
number, the higher the resolution and
the image file size. Be aware that
greater resolution takes more time to
scan, and more disk space for the
scanning image. For your information,
an A4 size color image scanned at 300
dpi at True Color mode consumes
approximately 25 MB of disk space. A
higher resolution (usually means over
600 dpi) is only recommended when you
need to scan a small area at True Color
mode.

Choose a resolution value from the drop

down list. The default value is 200 dpi.
Available resolutions are 75, 100, 150,
200,300, 400 and 600. Or you may
choose your desired value by clicking the
box in the right side of the drop down
list and press the arrow key to select
your desired value and then click the
Add button to include it in the drop down
list. Note: The resolution is up to 300
dpi if an imprinter or a MICR reader is
installed or connected to the scanner.

Resolution: 75 dpi Resolution: 150 dpi

 Invert Reverses the brightness and the colors in the image. The
default setting is Black on a White background. Reverse mode
is White on a Black background. For color images, each pixel
will be changed into its complementary color at the command
of Invert.

 Flatbed: Used to scan a single page. For example, pages from
newspaper clipping, paper with wrinkles or curls.
 Flatbed (book): Used to scan several inside pages from
book.
 Automatic: Allow the scanner automatically set its scan
source. If Automatic is selected and there is document in
both the auto document feeder (ADF) and the flatbed, then the
scan source will be automatically set to ADF. If Automatic is
selected and there is document only in flatbed, then the scan
source will be set to flatbed.
 Merge Two Sides into One Image:
If you have a sheet-fed duplex scanner with front input tray,
you can scan an A3 size document with an innovative method.
Thus, fold your A3 size document into A4, and then load the
paper in the front tray. Choose Merge Two Sides from the
Scan Source option and then the scanner is able to scan both
sides of your document and merge two A4 images into one A3
image.

When you select Merge Two Sides into One Image, the Cropping

99
 or Multi-feed function will be disabled.
Note: This feature must be used with a carrier sheet. Regarding
how to load a document with a Carrier Sheet, refer to Section
4.6.2, Other Paper Selection.
Note the options vary based on type of scanner.

If “Merge Two Sides into One Image” is selected, its choice will be available
including “Merge Horizontally”, “Merge Vertically”, “Merge Vertically (Back
Side Flip)”. If the reverse side of your document is upside down, choose
“Merge Vertically (Back Side Flip)” and the back side will be automatically
rotated 180 degrees and merged.

The Compression Tab

The Compression tab allows you to compress your scanned image and choose the
level of compression. Bi-tonal images are normally compressed using CCITT
standard called Group 4 (G4). Color and grayscale images are often compressed
using JPEG technology. Move the JPEG Quality slider to the right or left to
increase or decrease the level of compression. Note the greater the compression
level, the lower image quality. Default is 50%.

Note that the compression depends on your image editing application. If your
image editing application does not support the type of compression format, then
either a warning message will appear or the image quality of the compressed file
will not be acceptable.

JPEG (Joint Photographic Editor Group). This group developed and lent their name
to a file compression standard for color and grayscale images that is widely used by
scanners, and software applications. On Microsoft Windows-based systems, a file
with the extension .jpg has normally been compressed using this standard.

For scanning color or gray images, the following compressions are available:
 None
 JPEG

For scanning B&W images, the following compressions are available:

 None
 G4

Compression:
To complete your scan at a rated speed, the scanned image is compressed by

Multiple
flatbed (if available) and lets you create multiple
individually cropped images in one scan. Note: To
correctly create multiple images, please make sure
there is at least 12mm (0.5”) of space between each
document.
Relative to This option allows you to crop different areas on your
documents and deliver these images in B&W, Gray, or
Document
Color separately. For example, there are applications
which require you to store the entire document in B&W
and a part of the document in color to save storage
space. This is useful for documents where a
photograph or signature appears in a consistent area on
the document such as resumes, and so on.

The following options are only available when Fixed to Transport is selected.
 X-Offset — the distance from the left end of the scanner to the left edge of
the scanning area.

Carrier Sheet Mode:

Check this option to automatically crop the scan window according to your
document size when scanning non-standard document (fragile, irregular-size
document) with a carrier sheet (optional). Note: The availability of this option
varies due to scanner model.

Loading Documents Using a Carrier Sheet

A Carrier Sheet is a plastic sheet specifically used for loading non-standard

document onto the scanner. It allows you to scan document that can not be
scanned in the regular way. Also, documents larger than A4 size, such as A3 and
B4, can be scanned by folding in half, inserting into the Carrier Sheet, and
scanning in duplex mode. You can also scan documents that can be damaged quite
easily such as photographs, or irregular size documents that are difficult to load
directly such as clippings.

114
To scan document using a Carrier Sheet,

For documents larger than A4/Letter size, such as A3

a. Fold the sheet to be scanned in half.
b. Fold the sheet tightly and smooth out crease. Otherwise, the sheet may be
skewed during scanning.

1. Open the Carrier Sheet and place the document inside.

Align the top of the document to the top of the Carrier Sheet (the printed area).

For documents larger than A4/letter size, such as A3

Align the top of the document to the top of the Carrier Sheet (the printed section)
and the folded portion to the right edge of the Carrier Sheet so that the document
fits into the Carrier Sheet at the upper corner.

For non-standard document

Center your document in the Carrier Sheet.

2. Load the Carrier Sheet with the gray section (printed section) facing
downwards.

3. Adjust the paper guides to the width of the Carrier Sheet.

Adjust the paper guides so that there is no space between the guides and the
Carrier sheet. Space between the guides and Carrier Sheet may cause the
Carrier Sheet to become unaligned during scanning, and skew the scanned
image.
4. Start the scan.

115
Notice:
 [Carrier Sheet] is available for the models that support the Carrier Sheet.
 Some functions are disabled when [Carrier Sheet] is checked.

When you need to scan documents whose length exceeds scanner maximum,
please choose Long Page. Note if Long Page is selected, the Multi-Feed
Detection will not be available. (Note: This option and the maximum
allowable document length vary due to type of scanner.)

When Long Page (<118”) is selected, be sure to specify your document size
in the Length and Width field.

116
Notice when scanning long page document:
1. Pull out the extension in the ADF Paper Tray.
2. Secure enough space around the Output Tray to prevent the ejected paper
from falling off the Output Tray.
3. To ensure the performance, in color mode, set the resolution to be 300 dpi or
lower; in Black and White mode, set the resolution to be 600 dpi or lower.
4. Depending on your system environments, application, or your specified paper
size, there may be insufficient memory to perform scanning.

OverScan
Overscan allows you to add a specific margin at top and bottom or right and left
(Options vary based on the type of scanner) of the edge of the image. This is
used to reduce possible corner clipping on the skewed images and often applied to
a batch of skewed document to be scanned in the auto document feeder. Select
a value between 0 and +5 mm. Note the overscan result will not be shown in
the Display window and that the availability of the function varies based on type
of scanner.

Pre-Feed
Choice: Enable, Disable. If enable is selected, you can set the amount of time
the scanner starts pre-feeding your paper after your documents has been loaded
into the feeder. The default is disable. Note: The availability of this option varies
due to scanner model.

Transport Timeout
Set the amount of time the scanner will wait and then start auto scan after the
first scan job is completed. If you have many separate documents need to be
scanned at the same scan settings, this feature is especially useful. The default is
0. The value ranges from 0 to 30 seconds.

Note:
1. Within the specified timeout period, if you load your document to the feeder,
the scanner starts scanning automatically.
2. If your scanner has a flatbed option and you place your paper on the flatbed,
after the timeout period, you need to click the Scan button on the TWAIN
user interface to start scanning.

The Multi-Feed Detection Tab

Multi-Feed Detection
Multi-Feed Detection allows you to detect overlapped document that go through
the auto document feeder. Multi-Feed usually occurs due to stapled documents,
adhesives on documents, or electro-statically charged document. Note： The
availability of the function varies based on type of scanner.

Additional Length Detection

Additional Length Detection allows you to define the length of document being
multi-fed. This value indicates the additional length exceeding your scan area.
The Display window will show the size of the document as you change the value.
A value of 0 indicates no additional length detection. The Additional Length
Detection is best used when scanning same-size documents in the auto document
feeder.

Ultrasonic Detection
Ultrasonic Detection allows you to set overlapped document by detecting paper
thickness between documents. Note： The availability of the function varies
based on type of scanner.

There are two options available if Multi-Feed is detected.

 Stop Scanning after Multi-Feed

If this is selected, the scanner will stop the feeder and display the following
Warning dialog box if multi-feed is detected.

Despeckle

Occasionally small dots or specks appear in the background of a scanned image.

Remove unwanted speckles provides a cleaner image for OCR (Optical
Character Recognition) processing, and also helps to reduce compressed file
size.

Define the speckles (also known as image noise) you wish to remove by
specifying its number (size) and radius (range). The measuring unit is pixel.
The higher the number, the more speckles will be removed.

Before Despeckle
(noise number:0, noise radius:1)

After Despeckle
(noise number:22, noise radius:10)

Note:
 Recommended resolution: 200~600 dpi for regular barcode, 300~600 dpi for
QR code
 Skewed barcodes may not be recognized correctly.
 Using the same sheet repeatedly may decrease the recognition accuracy due to
accumulated dirt on the sheets. If the sheet is not recognized correctly or gets
smudged, replace it with a new sheet.

Patch code Detection:

Check [Enable] to detect patch codes and notify the software application for
advanced processing.
A patch code is a pattern of parallel, alternating black bars and spaces (i.e. a
barcode) that is printed on a document. Patch code sheet is most commonly used
as a document separator in a stack of document.
You can find various sizes of patch codes (PDF) by choosing
[Start] menu>[All Programs]>[Avision Scanner Series]>[Patch code] in
succession.
Simply print the PDF file to produce the patch code sheet. Insert the patch code
sheets to wherever you want the file to separate.

Patch code sheet

135
Notes to print the patch codes:
 Use blank white paper.
 Set the scaling to 100%. The sheet is not recognized correctly when printed in
a size smaller than the original.
 Do not use toner saving mode. The sheet is not recognized correctly when the
print is too light.
 Do not use thin paper in order to avoid bleed-through from the back.
 When you copy a patch code sheet that you printed out, make sure to copy by
the same size and brightness as the original copy.
 Use the same sheet repeatedly may decrease the recognition accuracy due to
accumulated dirt on the sheets. If the sheet is not recognized correctly or gets
smudged, replace it with a new sheet.
