Understanding scan to computer options
Sides (Duplex)
This option informs the printer if your original document is simplex (printed on one side) or duplex (printed on both
sides). This lets the scanner know what needs to be scanned for inclusion in the document.
Note: Duplex scanning is not available on selected printer models.
Darkness
This option adjusts how light or dark your scanned documents will turn out in relation to the original document.

Question Tip
When should I use Text mode?
• Use Text mode when text preservation is the main goal of the scan, and
preserving images copied from the original document is not a concern.
• Text mode is recommended for receipts, carbon copy forms, and documents
that only contain text or fine line art.
When should I use Text/Photo mode?
• Use Text/Photo mode when scanning an original document that contains a
mixture of text and graphics.
• Text/Photo mode is recommended for magazine articles, business graphics,
and brochures.
When should I use Photo mode? Use Photo mode when scanning photos printed on a laser printer or taken from
a magazine or newspaper.
