BEFORE USING THE SCAN TO USB AND NETWORK SCANNER FUNCTION
STORING SCANNING SETTINGS - Scan to USB
Sets of scan settings (colour 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.55
to 58) including Scan to USB.

• For normal text originals, a sufficiently legible image is produced when the colour 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 memory or
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.
• To open the scanned image without using the software program in the CD-ROM that accompanies the
machine, 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 is PDF. If the recipient cannot open the image, try sending the
image in a different format.
• If the number of scanned originals is not divisible by the number set in "Pages Per File", the last file will have
less pages.
• The scan settings stored in a scan mode cannot be edited or deleted if the scan mode has been selected for a
destination.
