Original Size
This option opens a screen where you can choose the size of the documents for FTP sending.
•Touch a paper size button to select that size as the Original Size setting. The FTP screen appears with the newsetting displayed.
•When “Original Size” is set to Mixed Sizes, you can scan an original document that contains mixed paper sizes.
•When “Original Size” is set to Auto Size Sense, the scanner automatically determines the size of the original document.
Send As
This option sets the output (PDF, TIFF, JPEG or XPS) for the scanned image.
•PDF—Creates a single file with multiple pages, viewable with Adobe Reader. Adobe Reader is provided free by Adobe at
www.adobe.com.
•Secure PDF—Creates an encrypted PDF file that protects the file contents from unauthorized access
•TIFF—Creates multiple files or a single file. If Multi-page TIFF is turned off in the Settings menu of the Embedded Web Server,
then TIFF saves one page in each file. The file size is usually larger than an equivalent JPEG.
•JPEG—Creates and attaches a separate file for each page of your original document, viewable by most Web browsers and
graphics programs
•XPS—Creates a single XPS file with multiple pages, viewable using an Internet Explorer-hosted viewer and the .NET
Framework, or by downloading a third party standalone viewer
Color
This option enables or disables color for the scanned image.
Resolution
This option adjusts the output quality of your file. Increasing the image resolution increases the file size and the time needed to
scan your original document. Image resolution can be decreased to reduce the file size.
Darkness
This option adjusts how light or dark your files will turn out in relation to the original document.
Page Setup
This option lets you change the Sides (Duplex), Orientation, and Binding.
•Sides (Duplex)— Specifies if the original document is simplex (printed on one page) or duplex (printed on both sides). This
also identifies what needs to be scanned.
•Orientation— Specifies the orientation of the original document, and then changes the Sides and Binding settings to match
the orientation.
•Binding— Specifies if the original document is bound on the long‑edge or short‑edge side.
Content
This option lets you specify the content type and source of the original document.
