The following scan profile settings can be customized:

Output color provides the optimal processing settings to produce the highest quality color, grayscale, or 
black/white output. 

Original type determines the kind of output that is produced—either photo, text, mixed (photo and text), or 
halftone. Halftone is a pattern of dots used to simulate and print a continuous-tone image.

Contrast controls the difference between light gray and dark gray regions of the output document. A high 
contrast scanned image appears sharp and vivid and is composed of mainly black and white regions. A low 
contrast scanned image is softer and is composed of varying shades of gray.

Darkness controls the level of darkness of the output document so it appears lighter, darker, or the same as 
the original document.

Sharpness makes the edges of a scanned image appear more or less pronounced than those of the original 
document. Sharpness is useful in enhancing fine lines or fine details in pictures. Softening can help to mask 
fine spots.

Edge Erase Metrics removes spots, punch holes, staple marks, or any other dark marks that may appear 
around the edge of the original document. 

You can erase marks that appear in the outer 0 to 50 mm of the page, or up to 2 inches. 

 The default is 3 mm or .1 inch.

If JFIF/JPEG is specified as the document output type (See Document Type on page 3-27) but 

the document is scanned on a monochrome device, the job will fail. If JFIF/JPEG is specified as the 
document output type and the document is scanned on a color device, the job will fail if the scan profile or 
the device has Output Color set to Black and White.

If the Original Type is Photo at the Xerox device, then Auto Exposure will be changed to OFF and 

the control will be disabled at the device.

Some devices do not support Edge Erase settings, In this case, the edge erase values must be 

manually set at the device when the user scans.
