Black and White

Selecting black and white, you can expect scans to come only in black and white. The image size would

be slightly smaller than that of grayscale images, but the quality would be significantly lower.

DPI

DPI stands for Dots Per Inch. This setting controls the resolution of the scanned images. The higher the

resolution, the higher the quality of the image, but it also increases the size of the file. We recommend 150

DPI because we believe it gives the best balance of quality and file size.

Scan Size / Width and Height

This tells ScanSharp® the size of the document you intend to scan. There are many pre-defined

selections, but you may choose your own by selecting custom. You may also choose to keep the default

option, “Auto detect size”, which will allow ScanSharp® to make this decision automatically for each

document.

ADVANCED - Sides to Scan

This property tells ScanSharp how many images will be read by the scanner before applying Post-Actions.

If your device is set to scan in duplex, (both sides) each pass through the scanner counts as two sides.

ADVANCED - Brightness

Brightness, simply, is a measure of how light an image will appear after being scanned in. By default, this

value is zero, but if your image comes in too dark, you may adjust it by increasing this property.

6.2.1. Image Concatenation

By default, ScanSharp® will concatenate 2 scans into a single image (front and back into one image).

When this item is checked, ScanSharp® will know to combine all of the images from the completed scan

into one image. You may choose the order in which they are placed relative to each other and whether

they will be “Vertical” or “Horizontal” based on the Concatenation Style selection you make in the

configuration screen.
