Features of the Scanner
The scanner has the following features.
● Compact Size
The scanner has a compact size of 285 mm (W) × 40 mm (H) × 95
mm (D) (11.22" (W) × 1.57" (H) × 3.74" (D)) when the document
feed and eject trays are closed.
● Bus-Powered
Supporting USB 3.0 bus power, the scanner is capable of scanning
at a speed of 15 black-and-white (grayscale) pages per minute and
10 24-bit color pages per minute using bus power via a single USB
cable (200-dpi simplex scanning of A4 documents is assumed in
both examples).
When using a USB 2.0 interface, high-speed scanning is still
available through the additional use of the power supply USB cable
or an AC adapter (sold separately).
● Auto Start Function
The CaptureOnTouch Lite software that comes preinstalled in the
scanner can be started by turning ON the Auto Start switch on the
rear panel. Connecting a computer to the scanner enables
scanning even when the driver is not installed.
● Auto Power ON/OFF
This feature automatically turns the power ON or OFF when the
feed tray is opened or closed.
● Equipped with Feeder
Up to 20 pages of a document can be loaded and then fed
continuously, or one at a time.
● Dedicated Card Slot
The scanner includes a dedicated slot for scanning plastic cards.
● CaptureOnTouch
When the bundled CaptureOnTouch software is installed, you can
perform scanning with a variety of scanning methods, ranging from
a normal scan, to a scan that involves a series of steps and which
is performed by registering a job.
● Color and Grayscale Support
The scanner is capable of scanning a document in 24-bit color or
256-level grayscale.
● Two-Sided Scanning
The scanner supports one-sided and two-sided scanning. Using the
skip blank pages function enables you to scan without worrying
about whether to scan one side or both sides of a document
because scanned images of blank pages are not saved.
● Auto Color Detection
The scanner detects whether the scanned document is in color,
grayscale, or black and white, and saves the image accordingly.
● Full Auto Mode
A Full Auto Mode is provided in CaptureOnTouch Lite,
CaptureOnTouch and scanner driver to allow scanning under
automatically determined conditions. Scanning conditions such as
the color mode and page size are set automatically based on the
document being scanned.
● Auto Resolution Detection
When enabled in the CaptureOnTouch Lite, CaptureOnTouch or
scanner driver settings, this function detects the content of
documents and determines the scanning resolution automatically.
● Document Size Auto Detection
This feature enables automatic detection of the page size of a
scanned document. The space around the edges of documents can
be omitted during scanning, even for non-standard size documents.
● Deskew
Even if a document is slanted when fed into the scanner, the
scanned image can be straightened.
● Text Enhanced Mode
Advanced Text Enhancement II is provided to improve the
readability when scanning documents in which the background is
uniform and both the text and background are light.
* This feature may not work effectively for some documents
● Drop-Out Color
This feature makes it possible to ignore specific colors when
scanning a document.
● Prescan
This feature allows you to scan just the first page of a document,
confirm the scanned image and adjust the brightness and contrast,
and then scan the remaining pages of the document.
