Sets of scan settings (scan size, color mode, resolution, file type, etc.) can be stored for use in various scanning applications. 
Each set of settings is called a "Scan Mode". When storing a destination, you can select one of the stored scanned modes. 
The settings of the selected scan mode will be used when you scan an image and send it to that destination (p.

 to 

).

If you need to change the 
settings in a previously 
stored scan mode, select 
the scan mode and click 
"Edit". To delete a scan 
mode, select the scan 
mode and click "Delete".

To view explanations of the settings, click "Help" 
in the menu frame.
When an original is scanned using the document 
glass, the scanning area is determined by the 
"Scan Size" setting. Read "

" (p.20) and make sure 

that the correct scan size is selected.

The default settings are shown in the following table:

The selected settings are stored.

• When the original size is automatically detected in the SPF/RSPF, the detected size is used instead of the scanning 

size set in "Scan Size". For this reason, if the original is larger than the size set in "Scan Size", it may be scanned at a 
lower resolution than the selected resolution.

• To scan a ledger, A3, or other large original at a high resolution setting such as 600 dpi, the machine memory 

or network expansion kit memory must be expanded. (A high resolution setting can be selected with only 
standard memory, however, the machine will scan the original at a lower resolution and enhance the image.) 
To scan large originals at high resolution when the color mode is set to "mono 2 gradation", the machine 
memory must be expanded. To scan large originals at high resolution when the color mode is set to full color 
or grayscale, the network expansion kit memory must be expanded.

• For normal text originals, a sufficiently legible image is produced when the color mode is set to "Mono 2 

gradation" and the resolution is 200 dpi or 300 dpi.
The 600 dpi setting should only be used in cases where high-clarity image reproduction is required, such as a 
photograph or an illustration. Note that a high resolution setting will result in a larger file size, and transmission 
may not be successful if there is insufficient disk capacity in the server to which the image is sent (or if the 
administrator of the server has restricted the file size). If transmission is not successful, you can try such 
measures as reducing the number of scanned pages in the file or reducing the scan size setting for the original.

• The resolution settings that can be selected vary depending on the scan size, color mode, and light source settings.
• To open the scanned image without using the software program in the CD-ROM that accompanies the network 

expansion kit, the recipient must have a viewer program that can open the image format (file type) that was 
selected as explained above.

• The factory default setting for the image format produces the smallest file (File Type: TIFF, Compression 

Mode: MMR (G4)). If the recipient cannot open the image, try sending the image in a different format.

• Number of pages per file

If the number of scanned originals is not divisible by the number set in "Pages Per File", the last file will have less pages.

• If you wish to use a scan mode as the default scan mode when storing destinations, select the "Default Scan 

Mode" checkbox.

• The scan settings stored in a scan mode cannot be edited or deleted if the scan mode has been selected for a destination.
