Setting Items for Scanning Using Operation Panel

You can change the scan settings such as the scan size, resolution, or data format.

Note

  • When you save the scanned data to the computer or attach the data to an e-mail, you can specify the destination and file name using Canon IJ Scan Utility (Windows)/Canon IJ Scan Utility Lite (macOS).

  • Scan size

    Select the size of the original.

  • Format

    Select the data format of the scanned data.

  • Scanning resolution

    Select the resolution for scanning.

  • Reduce show-thru

    Characters on the back may show through when scanning a thin document such as a newspaper. Select ON if characters seem to show through on the scanned document.

    This setting item is not available when Photo is selected for document type.

  • Descreen

    A printout consists of minute dots to make characters or graphs. Interfering with each dot may result in uneven shades or a striped pattern. Select ON if you notice any uneven shades or a striped pattern on the scanned image.

    This setting item is not available when Photo is selected for document type.

    Note

    • Even if ON is selected for this setting, some moire effects may remain if Unsharp mask is set to ON. In that case, select OFF for Unsharp mask.

  • Unsharp mask

    The outline of small characters or thin objects such as a hair or leaves on a photo can be accentuated. Select ON if you want to accentuate the outline of the scanned data.

    Important

    • For macOS, the unsharp mask function does not work even if you select ON.
