Scan options

The Scan Options window is used to set scanning options to suit your practice needs. The Tools > Options window is used to set the scan quality and speed using one of three pre-set options — or you can click Custom Preferences and define your own settings to best meet your practice’s needs.

Increasing the scan quality also increases the scanning and processing time and file size. You may need to experiment with the settings to find the best compromise.

See Scanning option details for more information about the scanning options.
