screen when the job button is pressed.
IMPORTANT
If you select [Skip Scan Setting Screen], scanning starts as 
soon as the job button is pressed, whether a document is 
inserted or not.
Address
Click [Add from Address Book], open the Address page, 
and select the address to send to.
IMPORTANT
 You can register up to 100 addresses to a job button. 
 For the number mentioned above, the count for a group is the 
number of addresses registered to the group (maximum of 99 
addresses) plus the group name, so a group with 99 
addresses registered to it is counted as having 100 
addresses.

and skips saving any image it determines to be a blank page.
 You can adjust the sensitivity of the Skip Blank Page option 
under [Contents detection sensitivity].
 The initial value for the Skip Blank Page option is set to “90.” 
As you lower the value from the default setting, pages of the

Detailed settings
IMPORTANT
The [Double feed detection by Ultrasonic] setting only appears 
when using the ScanFront 300P/330.
Brightness (Front)
Adjusts the brightness of the image to be scanned.
Brightness (Back)
Enabled for duplex scanning. Use this option when the 
front and back sides of a document are shaded differently. 
To change the brightness settings for the front and back 
sides, clear the [Same as front] check box.
Contrast (Front)

Contrast (Back)
Enabled for duplex scanning. Use this option when the 
front and back sides of a document are shaded differently. 
To change the contrast settings for the front and back sides, 
clear the [Same as front] check box.
Double feed detection by Ultrasonic (Only 
available with the ScanFront 300P/330)
The scanner uses an ultrasonic sensor to detect when two 
or more documents are fed together, and stops feeding 
when a double feed is detected.
IMPORTANT
 This method is effective when documents overlap by 1.97 
(50 mm) or more. It does not function if only a slight portion of 
the document is overlapping.
 When [Scanning Side] is set to [Folio], [Double feed detection 
by Ultrasonic] cannot be selected.
Double feed detection by length
The scanner detects by document length when two or more 
documents are fed together, and stops feeding when a 
double feed is detected.
IMPORTANT
 Using the length of the first document page as a reference, the 
scanner detects a double feed when a subsequent page is 
longer or shorter than the reference page by 1.38 (35 mm) or 
more.
 Set [Double feed detection by length] to [OFF] when scanning 
a document that contains pages of different lengths.

Document orientation
Rotates the scanned image to the specified angle.
Hint
When [Auto] is selected, the scanner detects text orientation 
within the document and rotates the image so that the 
orientation of the text is correct.
IMPORTANT
The scanning speed may be reduced when [Auto] is selected.
Deskew
Detects when a document has been fed askew from the 
scanned image, and then straightens the image.
 Prefer Quality
Image processing is performed to minimize the loss of 
quality of an image that has deteriorated as result of 
deskewing. 
 Prefer Speed
The image deteriorates slightly as a result of deskewing. 
IMPORTANT
If you select [Prefer Quality], the scanning speed is reduced. If 
you are scanning a large number of pages, select [Prefer 
Speed] to prevent a decrease in scanning speed.
Bleed-through reduction
Eliminates bleed-through images, in which images on the 
reverse side of a scanned document appear on the scanned 
page, such as when scanning thin documents with text or 
images on both sides.
IMPORTANT
The bleed-through reduction setting is disabled when the 
scanning mode is set to [Text enhance].
Hint
When using bleed-through reduction, adjust the bleed-through 
reduction level to match the type of document.
Color drop-out
The color drop-out function has a “drop-out” effect that 
leaves out a specified color (red, blue, or green) while 
scanning, and a “color enhancement” effect that 
emphasizes a specified color.
IMPORTANT
The color drop-out setting is disabled when the scanning mode 
is set to [Color].
Hint
The OCR recognition rate is sometimes improved by deleting 
colored ruled lines and other objects with the color drop-out 
function.

Chapter 9   Maintenance
1.Routine Cleaning
Clean the scanner on a regular basis, as described below, to maintain scanning performance. 
CAUTION
 When cleaning the scanner, do not spray water or detergent 
directly on the scanner. Doing so may damage precision 
mechanisms, such as the light source. 
 To clean the fingerprint sensor, use a dry commercially available 
cotton swab or a dry cloth to wipe off any dirt. If a cloth containing 
water or another liquid is used, the scanner may malfunction as a 
result of liquid getting inside the scanner. 
 Never use thinner, alcohol, or other organic solvents to clean the 
touch panel. Such solvents may deform, discolor, or melt the 
touch panel, thus causing a malfunction. 
❏Cleaning the Scanner Unit
To clean the surface of the scanner unit, use a cloth slightly 
dampened with water and well wrung out, to remove any 
dirt, and then use a clean, dry cloth to wipe the scanner.
❏Cleaning the Touch Panel
When cleaning the touch panel, use a soft, dry cloth to 
gently wipe the surface of the panel without applying 
pressure.
❏Cleaning the Fingerprint Sensor 
(ScanFront 300P)
To clean the fingerprint sensor, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe 
off any dirt. 
IMPORTANT
The portion of the sensor where the fingers touch during 
fingerprint authentication can get particularly dirty. A dirty 
sensor may cause fingerprint authentication errors. Clean the 
sensor and its surrounding area regularly, regardless of how 
dirty they are.
