Configurable profile items

Profile items that can be reconfigured in ScanSnap Connect Application are as follows.

Scanning

ATTENTION

• The following items on the scanned image may differ between the case where the mobile device is directly connected to iX500 and the case where it is connected to the computer.
  • Image quality
  • Recognized document colors
  • Detected blank pages
  • Detected paper size

Image Quality

The following image quality (resolution) levels are available.

• Auto
  Select this mode to scan documents at optimal resolution according to their paper size.
  Documents are scanned in [Better] mode when the length is longer than 148 mm (A6 portrait), and in [Best] mode when shorter than 148 mm (A6 portrait). The quality of the saved images may vary depending on whether you scan the documents in portrait or landscape in iX500. This is because, in [Auto] mode, the resolution is automatically determined by the length of the document.
  For example, the image quality is automatically set to [Better] when you load an A5 size document in the feeding section of iX500 in portrait orientation; [Best] when you load the document in landscape orientation.
• Normal
  Select this mode to scan documents quickly.
• Better
  Select this mode to scan documents in high quality.
• Best
  Select this mode to scan documents in higher quality.

Color Mode

The following color modes are available.

• Auto
  Automatically detects the color of each document and scans in color or gray.
• Color
  Always saves the scanned image as color.
• Gray
  Always saves the scanned image as gray.
• B&W
  Always saves the scanned image as black & white.
  This option is available when [PDF] is selected for [File format].

Brightness (B&W)

Adjusts the brightness of black & white images in 11 levels when [B&W] is selected for [Color Mode].
The smaller number the lighter the image is; the larger number the darker.

Scanning Side

The following scan sides are available.

• Duplex Scan
  Scans both sides of the document.
• Simplex Scan
  Scans only one side of the document.

Continue Scanning

When this option is set to on, a confirmation message for continuous scanning appears when scanning with iX500 is complete.
Load documents in iX500. Then, tap [Continue] or press the [Scan] button on iX500 to continue scanning.
To end the scan, tap [Exit].

Skip blank page

Automatically removes blank pages from the output images.
For example, if you specify "Duplex Scan" to scan a document with contents on only one side, only the image on this side will be saved because this option removes blank pages (the other side).

Reduce bleed-through

Reduces bleed-through on document where text and/or illustrations can bleed or seep through to the other side.

ATTENTION

• Setting this option to on may produce image data where:
  • colors of the marked section(s) are faded
  • the marked section(s) disappear
  • the lines are thinner than in the original

File format

File format

You can specify the file format in which the scanned image is saved.

• PDF
  Creates a PDF file (*.pdf) from the scanned image.
  The page limit for a single PDF file is 1,000.
• JPEG
  Creates a JPEG file (*.jpg) from the scanned image.
  JPEG files are created for each page.

JPEG option

You can specify whether or not to use the [Save together] and [Save to photo album] options when [JPEG] is selected in [File format].

Save together

Set this option to on and perform a scan to handle the received JPEG files virtually as a single file.
You can archive those files as one file from the [File List] screen, and preview the files one by one on the [Preview] screen.

Save to photo album

Set this option to on and perform a scan to save the received JPEG file to a photo album.
If you set [Automatic delete] to on in System Preferences of ScanSnap Connect Application in this case, the received file will not be displayed in the [File List] screen.

Filename

Filename

You can specify the format in which each file is automatically named when they are saved.

• yyyy_MM_dd_HH_mm_ss
  Names the file in "yyyy_MM_dd_HH_mm_ss" format according to the date and time of the operating system.
• yyyy-MM-dd-HH-mm-ss
  Names the file in "yyyy-MM-dd-HH-mm-ss" format according to the date and time of the operating system.
  
• yyyyMMddHHmmss
  Names the file in "yyyyMMddHHmmss" format according to the date and time of the operating system.
  
• Enter directly
  Type in a file name of any characters.
• Enter file name here
  Type in a file name within 80 alphanumeric characters.
  This option is available when you select [Enter directly].
  If no name is entered, the file is named as "untitled".
  If the same name already exists, the file name will be changed to "filename(n)" (where n is a serial number).

• A5

Multifeed

Detects a multifeed error (multiple sheets scanned at once).

File size

Compression rate

Adjusts the compression rate in five levels.
The larger this value is, the higher the compression rate becomes, and noise in the image is more visible.
On the contrary, the smaller the value is, the lower the rate becomes, and the noise is less visible.
