The Scan tab lets you control the quality and quantity of a scan.
- - Scan Resolution:
- By default, Art-Copy uses different scan resolutions for different output destinations to balance the image quality and scan speed. However, you can set your own scan resolution by selecting the User Defined Resolution option. The user-defined resolution is used for all scans, no matter the output destination.
- - Save multiple images into one image file (TIFF, PDF):
- Select this option to scan multiple images and save them as one image file in either TIFF or PDF format. To get multiple page image files with a Flatbed scanner or an unsupported ADF scanner you will also need to check the “Show advanced batch scan option” also.
- - Collate copies (1,2,3; 1,2,3):
- Select this option to copy or fax multiple copies of a multiple-page document in sequence so one complete set of document pages prints before another complete set. To collate images files with a Flatbed scanner or an unsupported ADF scanner you will also need to check the “Show advanced batch scan option” also.
- - Scan from Automatic Document Feeder(ADF):
- If your printer has both an ADF and a flatbed, by selecting this Art-Copy ignores the flatbed, and will scan directly from the ADF. There are two options listed below this option, the "Duplex (hardware supported)" and the "Duplex (software supported)" check boxes. If your ADF is actually a duplex scanner you can simply check the "Duplex (hardware supported)", which will cause Art-Copy to scan both sides of a document and add them in order according to how they went in. Also if your ADF is not a duplex scanner Art-Copy can make it into one.
By checking the "Duplex (software supported)", Art-Copy functions as a duplex scanner. Simply feed in the batch of images/documents letting Art-Copy scan each to the last one in the feeder. Then once they are finished scanning Art-Copy will prompt you to put them back in turning them so the back of the file is now facing where the front was poisitioned. Then once again set them into the ADF and Art-Copy will scan each till the very last one. Art-Copy will then reorder them so that the front of page one is 1, the back of page one will be 2, and so on.
- - Enable batch scan:
- By selecting this option on the next scan Art-Copy will prompt you to enter in the number of batches you would like to scan. For example, if you have 20 documents in your ADF, and you'd like to only scan five documents at once. Simply type in 5 when the batch scan menu comes up and only five of the twenty documents will be scanned. You may aslo check "Ask me whether to scan additional pages" so that you will be prompted again to enter in another batch amount till you finish the scan job.
- - Ask me whether to scan additional pages:
- You will need this option checked to allow you to scan all pages in an unsupported ADF scanner or to cause a pause in between pages while scanning a flatbed scanner. Without this option checked you will not be able to scan a multiple page image on a flatbed.
- - Show preview screen (TWAIN) before Scan:
- Usually, Art-Copy scans and prints without appearing on your TWAIN driver user interface (UI). You may select to use this UI to preview your document and select an area to be scanned before performing the scan operation.
- - Show Scan Summary:
- By checking this option you will get a screen displayed after a “Scan to File” operation. Detailing the last image scanned.
- - Delete image after output:
- You may not want to keep the image(s) after you print. If you check this option, all the images will be deleted from your hard disk after they are printed. Images will not be deleted if you send them to an application or save them to disk file.
- - Administrator Options:
- Only an administrator can change this setting. If checked the non-administrative users will be limited to the directory listed. They will be unable to browse system directories.
