Gamma

The Gamma option allows you to define the gamma curve setting for
normal scanning and computer screen viewing. Choose one of the five
gamma curves in the

Gamma

drop-down list box. There are standard

and CRT levels in a gamma curve. If you intend to view the scanned
images on a computer screen, select “CRT.”

When “User Download” is selected, you must specify a gamma pattern
(*.PXG file). Click on the

Gamma

button in the Download From File

group box and select a gamma pattern in the file selection box.

A gamma setting can be specified only when a Dither pattern, an Error
Diffusion pattern for Binary mode, or a Grayscale mode is selected.

Lamp

Select “Red” in the Lamp box to allow the scanner to perform red
dropout color. The green lamp is the normal setting. When red dropout
is specified, most red characters, lines, or illustrations will not be
captured when a document is scanned.

NOTE: This feature is available only on the Scanner 2500.

Length Control

When Length Control is selected, the scanned image length is
automatically determined. Different length documents will be detected
and scanned accordingly, thereby conserving memory.

By using

Length Control

, the scanner does not use excessive memory.

For example, if you are simultaneously scanning A4 and A5 size
documents, and the A5 size is in a horizontal position and

Length

Control

is off, the A5 horizontal document will be scanned as A4 size.

The bottom half of the paper will become a black image. If

Length

Control

is on, the A5 horizontal document is scanned as horizontal A5.
