							General Notes (Scanner Driver)ScanGear (scanner driver) is subject to the following restrictions. Keep these points in mind when using it.
Scanner Driver Restrictions•
When using the NTFS file system, the TWAIN data source may not be invoked. This is because theTWAIN module cannot be written to the winnt folder for security reasons. Contact the computer's
administrator for help.
•
Some computers (including laptops) connected to the machine may not resume correctly from standby mode. In that case, restart the computer.
•
Do not connect two or more scanner or multifunction printers with scanner function to the samecomputer simultaneously. If multiple scanning devices are connected, you cannot scan from the operation panel of the machine and also may experience errors while accessing the devices.
•
Scanning may fail if the computer has resumed from sleep or standby mode. In that case, follow thesesteps and scan again.
1.
Turn off the machine.
2.
Exit ScanGear, then disconnect the USB cable from the computer and reconnect it.
3.
Turn on the machine.
•
ScanGear cannot be opened in multiple applications at the same time. Within an application,ScanGear cannot be opened for the second time when it is already open.
•
Be sure to close the ScanGear window before closing the application.
•
When using a network compatible model by connecting to a network, the machine cannot be accessed from multiple computers at the same time.
•
When using a network compatible model by connecting to a network, scanning takes longer than
usual.
•
Make sure that you have adequate disk space available when scanning large images at high resolutions. For example, at least 300 MB of free space is required to scan an A4 document at 600
dpi in full-color.
•
ScanGear and WIA driver cannot be used at the same time.
•
Do not enter the computer into sleep or hibernate state during scanning.
Applications with Restrictions on Use
•
If you start Media Center included in Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, you may not be able to scan using the operation panel of the machine. In that case, restart the computer.
•
You cannot scan images with Media Center included in Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005.
Scan with other applications such as IJ Scan Utility.
•
Some applications may not display the TWAIN user interface. In that case, refer to the application's
manual and change the settings accordingly.
•
Some applications do not support continuous scanning of multiple documents. In some cases, only the first scanned image is accepted, or multiple images are scanned as one image. For such
applications, do not scan multiple documents from the ADF (Auto Document Feeder).
•
To import scanned images into Microsoft Office 2000, first save them using IJ Scan Utility, then import
the saved files from the  Insert menu.
•
When scanning Platen size images into Microsoft Office 2003 (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.), click
Custom Insert  in the Insert Picture from Scanner or Camera  screen. Otherwise, images may not
be scanned correctly.

							•When scanning images into Microsoft Office 2007/Microsoft Office 2010 (Word, Excel, PowerPoint,etc.), use Microsoft Clip Organizer.•
Images may not be scanned correctly in some applications. In that case, increase the operating system's virtual memory and retry.
•
When image size is too large (such as when scanning large images at high resolution), your computer
may not respond or the progress bar may remain at 0 % depending on the application. In that case,
cancel the action (for example by clicking  Cancel on the progress bar), then increase the operating
system's virtual memory or reduce the image size/resolution and retry. Alternatively, scan the image
via IJ Scan Utility first, then save and import it into the application.

							Adjusting Cropping Frames in the Image Stitch Window"Cropping" is the act of selecting the area you want to keep in an image and discarding the rest when
scanning it.
In the  Image Stitch  window, you can specify a cropping frame on the image displayed in the Preview area.
Note
•
Refer to "Adjusting Cropping Frames (ScanGear)" for your model from Home of the  Online Manual for
how to adjust cropping frames with ScanGear (scanner driver).
Initial Cropping Frame No cropping frame is specified. When you select the  Adjust cropping frames checkbox, an active
cropping frame is automatically specified around the image in the Preview area. You can drag the
cropping frame to specify the area.
When you perform a scan, the image in the area specified with the cropping frame will be scanned.
Adjusting a Cropping Frame
The cursor will change into 
 (Arrow) when it is positioned over a cropping frame. Click and
drag the mouse to expand or contract the cropping frame.
The cursor will change into  (Crosshair Arrow) when it is positioned within a cropping frame. Click and
drag the mouse to move the entire cropping frame.
Deleting Cropping Frames
To delete the cropping frame, deselect the  Adjust cropping frames checkbox.

							ResolutionThe data in the image you have scanned is a collection of dots carrying information about brightness andcolor. The density of these dots is called "resolution", and resolution will determine the amount of detail your image contains. The unit of resolution is dots per inch (dpi). Dpi is the number of dots per inch (2.5 cm).
The higher the resolution (value), the more detail in your image; the lower the resolution (value), the less
detail.
How to Set the Resolution
You can set the resolution in the following screens.
IJ Scan Utility:
Resolution  on the 
 (Scanning from a Computer) tab of the Settings dialog box
ScanGear (Scanner Driver):
Output Resolution  in Output Settings  on the Advanced Mode  tab
Appropriate Resolution Settings Set the resolution according to the use of the scanned image.

							Important•
If you double the resolution, the data size of the scanned image quadruples. If the file is too large, theprocessing speed will slow down significantly, and you will experience inconvenience such as lack of
memory. Set the minimum required resolution according to the use of the image.
Note
•
When you will be printing the scanned image by enlarging it, scan by setting a higher resolution than
the recommended one above.
736 
						

							Data FormatsYou can select a data format when saving scanned images. You should specify the most suitable data
format according to how you want to use the image on which application.
Available data formats vary by application and operating system (Windows or Mac OS).
See below for the characteristics of each image data format.
PNG (Standard File Extension: .png)
A data format often used on websites.
PNG is suitable for editing saved images.
JPEG (Standard File Extension: .jpg)
A data format often used on websites and for digital camera images.
JPEG features high compression rates. JPEG images slightly degrade every time they are saved, and cannot be returned to their original state.
JPEG is not available for black and white images.
TIFF (Standard File Extension: .tif)
A data format featuring a relatively high compatibility between various computers and applications.
TIFF is suitable for editing saved images.
Note
•
Some TIFF files are incompatible.
•
IJ Scan Utility supports the following TIFF file formats.
•
Uncompressed, black and white binary
•
Uncompressed, RGB (8 bits per channel)
•
Uncompressed, Grayscale
PDF (Standard File Extension: .pdf) A data format for electronic documents, developed by Adobe Systems Incorporated.
It can be used on various computers and operating systems, and fonts can be embedded as well; therefore,
people in different environments can exchange the files without being aware of the differences.

							Color Matching"Color Matching" is the act of making adjustments so that the color tones match between the original item,
the monitor display, and the color printout. On your scanner or printer, the color tones are adjusted as shown below.
Example: When sRGB is selected as the output profile (target):
The image's color space is converted from the scanner's color space to sRGB by ScanGear.
When displaying on a monitor, the image's color space is converted from sRGB to the monitor's color space based on the operating system's monitor settings and the application's working space settings.
When printing, the image's color space is converted from sRGB to the printer's color space based on the
application's print settings and the printer driver's settings.
