Xerox ® DocuMate® 5445 / 5460User’s Guide133– AutoCrop to original—Select this option to let the software automatically determine the size of theitem being scanned.– Straighten image—Select this option to have the software automatically determine if a page is skewed,then straighten its image. If the page is scanned at too great an angle, the image may not straightencorrectly. In that case, re-scan the page.– Auto detect color—Determines if a document contains color or not and produces the appropriatescanned image. Typically, Auto Color Detect is used when you have a stack of pages to scan, some colorand others not. Instead of you having to change the scan settings from Color to Black&White and backagain, the scanner can choose the correct settings automatically.– Skip blank originals—Recognizes when a page is blank and removes its image. For instance, if you arescanning a stack of pages that includes a blank page, its image will not be included with the other imagesfrom the stack.– Rotate image—Select an option in this list to have the final image rotated when scanning is complete.Automatic recognizes text on the page and rotates the image 90, 180, or 270 degrees so the text is rightside up.– Perform edge cleanup—Select this option to have the software remove any thin lines that may bearound the edges in the scanned image. Edge Cleanup only applies if AutoCrop and AutoDeskew areselected so the software can determine where the edges are located. Therefore, selecting Edge Cleanupwill also select AutoCrop and AutoDeskew. This option is only available when scanning in Black&White.– Despeckle—Speckles are small spots on an image that the scanner interpreted as a valid part of thedocument. For example, an irregularity in the paper, or a small wrinkle, or the holes where a staple wasremoved may show up as speckles on the scanned image. The Despeckle option identifies these spotsand removes them. This option is only available when scanning in Black&White.– Color dropout—color dropout is the ability of your scanner to automatically remove a color from ascanned image. For example, if you are scanning a letter with a red watermark, you can choose to filterout the red so the scanned letter just shows the text and not the red watermark. Color dropout applies toBlack & White or Grayscale scanning modes.– Bit depth reduction—Click the drop down menu and select an option from the list. The Bit depthreduction options are only available when scanning in black and white.Error diffusion, Bayer, and Halftone patterns are the intentional application of noise (dithering) in theimage to help alleviate banding when scanning in binary (black and white) mode. For example, if youscan a color photo in black and white, the image file will have large blocks of black and white and theimage barely recognizable. Dithering the image creates a black and white image that is recognizable.Dynamic threshold attempts to evaluate the scanned page and automatically adjust the brightnessand contrast levels to produce the best quality image when scanning in black and white. For example,light color text on a page may be missing in the final image as the scanner will change those light colorsto white pixels. Dynamic threshold will attempt to automatically lower the brightness level to darken theimage, and raise the contrast level to make the difference between the lighter and darker portions of theimage clearer.7.
