Auto-Scan Delay

This property will indicate to ScanSharp® that the scanner is to wait until a document is detected in the

device, and then wait a configurable number of seconds before automatically scanning the document. The

default value is 0.5 second, but newer users may choose to have the program wait 2 or 3 seconds in order

to make sure the documents go straight through the scanner.

Disable Duplex Scanning

Duplex scanning can be disabled for duplex scanners in order to get single sided scans as desired. Check

“Disable Duplex Scanning” to scan only one image at a time (for example, business cards usually only

have 1 side with information).

Timeout Delay

If, during the middle of a scan, a certain number of seconds pass without a new image being scanned, the

program will determine that the scheme has been prematurely terminated and complete it as is. This

setting can be changed under Timeout Delay.

Scanning Mode

You may choose to scan in Color, Grayscale, or Black and White.

Color

Selecting color, you can expect scans to take slightly longer and result in larger file sizes, but having much

higher quality.

Grayscale

Selecting grayscale, you can expect scans to come in white and different shades of gray. The image sizes

are smaller than a color scan but the quality is also lower.
