Selecting a Scan Mode

You can set the scan mode that a document is scanned in. The machine has the following preset scan modes:

  • If the optional Color Universal Send Kit is activated and the optional System Upgrade RAM is installed:
    Eight scan modes: Clr/B&W 200 × 200 dpi,
    Clr/B&W 300 × 300 dpi,
    B&W 200 × 200 dpi,
    B&W 300 × 300 dpi,
    Clr/Gray 200 × 200 dpi,
    Clr/Gray 300 × 300 dpi,
    Clr/Gray 600 × 600 dpi,
    B&W 600 × 600 dpi
    (Clr stands for color.)
  • If only the optional Color Universal Send Kit is activated:
    Seven scan modes: Clr/B&W 200 × 200 dpi,
    Clr/B&W 300 × 300 dpi,
    B&W 200 × 200 dpi,
    B&W 300 × 300 dpi,
    Clr/Gray 200 × 200 dpi,
    Clr/Gray 300 × 300 dpi,
    B&W 600 × 600 dpi
    (Clr stands for color.)
  • If only the optional fax board is installed:
    Four scan modes: Black 200 × 100 dpi,
    Black 200 × 200 dpi,
    Black 200 × 400 dpi,
    Black 400 × 400 dpi

Select the desired mode from the preset scan modes or user defined scan modes (user preset keys), according to the type of original that you are sending.


Remark
  • If only a fax number or an I-fax address is specified as the destination, the original is always sent in the Black-and-White mode regardless color mode settings.
  • If you want to use less memory and make the sending time shorter, use a lower resolution mode.
  • You can adjust the preset scan modes and create new scan settings. However, since changed scan settings are not automatically saved, it is useful to register a new scan setting if you use it frequently. (See "User Preset Keys.")
  • You can change the settings and assigned names for the eight preset scan keys, and store them as user defined scan modes (user preset keys).
  • In addition to the scan mode, you can store addresses and other send settings in the favorites buttons. (See "Favorites Buttons.")
  • To cancel the scan settings, press the Scan Settings drop-down list → press [Option] → [Cancel].
  • If [Preview] on the Send Settings screen is set, you can verify the images from the Preview screen before sending your document. (See "Previewing Originals.")
  • To cancel all settings and return the machine to the Standard mode, press (Reset).

  1. Place your originals → specify the destination → press the Scan Settings drop-down list → select the scan mode.

  • Specifying the scan mode again cancels the scan mode and other scan features previously set.
  • You can also select a scan mode by pressing [Option] from the Scan Settings drop-down list to display the Scan Settings screen → press the Scanning Mode drop-down list → select a scan mode.
  1. Press (Start).

If [PDF(Trace)], [PDF (Compact)], or [XPS (Compact)] is selected as the file format, select a scan mode from the Scanning Mode drop-down list whose Color Selection mode and resolution have been registered as one of the following combinations. If you select a combination other than those listed below, a message asking for your confirmation to change the file format appears on the screen.

  • Auto-Color Select (Full Color/Grayscale) and 300 × 300 dpi
  • Full Color and 300 × 300 dpi
  • Grayscale and 300 × 300 dpi
  • You can store the changed settings. (See "User Preset Keys.")
