Low resolution 
scanning of text

Scanning text printed in 10pt font or less at resolutions of 100 dpi or less 
will result in image content that may be difficult to discern. These low-
resolution selections are typically used for generating thumbnails. If better 
readability is desired, resolutions of 200 dpi of higher should be used.

14

Original Types / 
Image File Sizes

Originals scanned using incorrect “Original Type” selection (scanning a 
halftone in “Photograph” mode, for example) can yield image file sizes that 
are significantly larger than the resultant file size scanned in the correct 
“Original type”.

15

Second-side show-
through when 
scanning from the 
platen

Originals with a large amount of dark content on the reverse side of a page, 
may exhibit more “show-through” in the resulting scanned image than if 
scanned through the document feeder. If show-through is a problem, place 
a black piece of paper on top of the original being scanned from the platen. 
A stronger “background suppression” setting may also help in removing 
unwanted show-through.

16

Scanner Support

Unpredictable behavior can result if the scanner diagnostic software 
(“Scanner Support” application) is invoked while the scanner is booting. 
The application should be run with the scanner fully powered off, or fully 
powered on.

17

Image registration

If scanned images repeatedly contain thin, black lines on the edge of the 
image, run the “Setup Registration” routine in the “Scanner Support” 
application to re-set the scanner’s registration.

18

“Help”

The following information in “Help” about “Scan Tickets” is incorrect:

1. Within the Twain GUI, go to the Help menu and then the Index —> 

Scan Tickets.

2. Choose the “Backing up your scan ticket tiles” option.
3. Part 2 reads: Select [Start: Programs: Windows Explorer] - with 

Windows XP, it should read [Start: Programs: Accessories: Window 
Explorer].

4. Part 3 reads: “Browse to C:\winnt\Twain_32\Xerox665s\international” - 

with Windows XP, it should read “C:\Program Files\Common 
Files\Xerox\Scanner”.

The following information in “Help” on “Scanner Specifications” is incorrect:

1. Within the Twain GUI go to Help --> Index --> Scanner Quick 

Reference --> Document Feeder --> Scanner Specifications.

2. Note that under the Minimum paper dimensions reads 6.5 x 5.5 inches, 

long edge feed — this should read short edge feed.

3. Under document Feeder --> Color Spaces & resolutions supported 

Binary B/W reads 76 - 1200 dpi — should read 72, 75, 96, 100, 120, 
150, 200, 240, 300, 400, 600, 1200 dpi.

19

Electronic Page 
Deskew

Although the “Electronic Page Deskew” (Options: Preferences) is enabled 
when scanning from the platen or the feeder, it is only functional when 
scanning from the feeder.
