selected.
 The [Auto Color Detection] function cannot be used 
simultaneously with the color drop-out or prescan function.
 The scanning speed may be reduced when the Auto Color 
Detection function is used.
Resolution
Select the resolution for scanning. 
IMPORTANT
 A resolution of [300 dpi] or more cannot be set when [Auto size 
(Long)] is selected for [Page Size].
 A resolution of [400 dpi] or more cannot be set when [Folio] is

Chapter 5   Operating Procedures
 A resolution of [400 dpi] or more cannot be set when [Folio] is 
selected. In addition, [Double feed detection by Ultrasonic] is 
grayed out and cannot be selected.
Brightness
Adjust the brightness to match the density of the 
document. 
Hint
When you want to scan both sides of a document that has front 
and back sides of different densities, you can change the 
settings for the brightness of the front side and back side 
separately in the detailed settings and then perform scanning. 
Detailed Settings
Press the [Detailed settings] button to open the Detailed 
Settings screen. 
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 using the ScanFront 300, the [Double feed detection by 
Ultrasonic] setting is set to [OFF].
 When [Scanning Side] is set to [Folio], [Double feed detection 
by Ultrasonic] is grayed out and 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 page of the document as a 
reference, the scanner determines a double feed when it 
detects a document with a length at least 1.38 (35 mm) 
longer or shorter than the reference length. 
 Set [Double feed detection by length] to [OFF] when scanning 
a document that contains pages of different lengths. 
Skip Blank Page
When [Skip Blank Page] is selected in the scanning side 
settings, this setting is enabled, and you can adjust the 
sensitivity level for skipping blank pages.  
						

							5-30
Chapter 5   Operating Procedures
Hint
 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 
document with text become more likely to be skipped as well.
 As you raise the value from the default setting, pages of the 
document that are blank become less likely to be skipped.
IMPORTANT
 As you lower the Skip Blank Page value from the default 
setting, it is then set so that pages of the document with text 
are more likely to be skipped.
 As you raise the Skip Blank Page value from the default 
setting, it is then set so that blank pages of the document are 
less likely to be skipped.
Document orientation
Rotates the scanned image a specified amount. 
Hint
If you select [Auto], the orientation of text within the document is 
detected and the image is rotated so that the orientation of the 
text is correct. 
IMPORTANT
The scanning speed may be reduced when [Auto] is selected.
Deskew
The scanner detects from the scanned image that the 
document was fed askew 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
Bleed-through reduction cannot be set when the [Text enhance] 
mode is selected. 
						

							5-31
Chapter 5   Operating Procedures
Hint
When using bleed-through reduction, adjust the bleed-through 
reduction level to match the type of document.
Contrast
Adjust the contrast for the images to scan. 
Back side Brightness/contrast
This is enabled when you scan both sides of a document 
and should be used when the document has front and back 
sides of different density. Select [Use back side brightness 
(contrast)] to change the settings for the brightness and 
contrast of the front and back sides of the document. 
Front side (Back side) 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. You can set each of these 
effects for the front side and back side. 
IMPORTANT
The color drop-out settings are disabled when the scanning 
mode is set to [Color]. 
Auto Color Detection Settings
This is enabled when Auto Color Detection is selected, and 
allows you to configure the following detection settings 
for determining whether to scan a document in color or 
black and white.
 Mode in case of binary
Specify the scanning mode to use when a black and white 
document is detected.
 Threshold intensity to judge the document as color
Adjust the sensitivity to colors in a document.
 Aresize to judge the document as color
