Scanning with WIA Driver You can scan an item from a WIA (Windows Image Acquisition)-compliant application. WIA is a driver model implemented in Windows XP or later. It allows you to scan items without using an application. The procedure varies depending on the application. The following procedures are examples only. Refer to the application's manual for details.
Page 464 Contrast Move the slider to adjust the contrast. Moving it to the left will decrease the contrast of the image, thus softening the image. Moving it to the right will increase the contrast of the image, thus sharpening the image. You can also enter a value (-100 to 100). Preview or scan images as separate files Select this checkbox to preview or scan multiple images as separate files.
Page 465 Picture type Select the type of scan you want for your item. Reset Click to restore the original settings. 5. Click Preview to preview the image. The preview image appears on the right. Drag to specify the scan area. 6. Click Scan. Scanning starts, then the scanned image appears in the application.

Scanning Tips Resolution Data Formats Color Matching...
Page 469: Resolution
Resolution The data in the image you have scanned is a collection of dots carrying information about brightness and color. 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;...
Page 470 Important • If you double the resolution, the data size of the scanned image quadruples. If the file is too large, the processing 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 •...
Page 471: Data Formats
Data Formats You 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.
Page 472: Color Matching
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.
Page 473: Positioning Originals (Scanning From Computer)
Positioning Originals (Scanning from Computer) Learn how to place items on the platen of your scanner or printer. Place items correctly according to the type of item to be scanned. Otherwise, items may not be scanned correctly. Important • Do not place objects on the document cover. When you open the document cover, the objects may fall into your scanner or printer, resulting in malfunction.
Page 474 format other than PDF, scan by specifying the data format. Placing Multiple Items: Allow 0.4 inch (1 cm) or more space between the edges (diagonally striped area) of the platen and items, and be- tween items. Portions placed on the diagonally striped area cannot be scanned.
