Features of the Scanner
The main features of the DR-M160 document scanner are described
below.
● Compact Design
The scanner has a compact size of 280 mm (11.02")(W) x 172 mm
(6.77")(D) x 178 mm (7.01")(H) when the document feed is closed.
● Fast Document Feeding
Documents can be scanned at a speed of up to 60 pages per
minute (when scanning one-sided or two-sided documents of A4
size at 200 dpi).
● High Image Quality
The 600 dpi optical resolution sensor incorporated in the scanner
enables documents to be scanned with high image quality.
● USB 2.0 Interface
The scanner supports Hi-Speed USB 2.0.
● Color/Grayscale Support
Documents can be scanned in 24-bit color or 256-level grayscale.
● Supports a Variety of Scanning Modes
The scanner supports the following scanning modes, depending on
the document type:
• Single-sided or double-sided scanning (with Skip Blank Page
function)
• Continuous or single sheet feed
● Card Scan
You can scan business or ID cards.
● Paper Size Detection
The scanner automatically detects the size of a scanned document
and eliminates any unnecessary space around the edges of the
image when storing the image, even when storing a document of
irregular size.
● Auto Color Detection
The scanner detects whether the scanned document is in color,
grayscale, or black and white, and saves the image accordingly.
● Full Auto Mode
A Full Auto Mode is provided in CaptureOnTouch to allow scanning
under automatically determined conditions. Scanning conditions
such as the color mode and page size are set automatically based
on the document being scanned.
● Auto Resolution Detection
When enabled in the CaptureOnTouch or scanner driver settings,
this function detects the content of documents and determines the
scanning resolution automatically.
● Folio Scan
You can scan folded documents. The scanner will scan both sides
and combine the scanned images into a single image.
● Deskew
The scanner straightens scanned images when it detects that the
document was placed askew.
● Ultrasonic Double Feed Detection
Ultrasonic waves are used to detect pages that are fed at the same
time as well as the space between pages. Scanning stops if a
double feed is detected.
● Double Feed Detection Ignore
When a double feed is detected, the DFR button on the operation
panel is lit. You can continue scanning by pressing the DFR button.
● Double Feed Retry
When a double feed has occurred, this function returns the
document to the document feeder and re-feeds the pages.
● Text Enhancement Modes
The scanner is equipped with an Advanced Text Enhancement
Mode to enhance the text of documents with dark or uneven
backgrounds, and an Advanced Text Enhancement II mode to
enhance the text when both the text and background are light.
These modes may not work, depending on the type of document.
● Color Drop-out
The scanner is equipped with a Color Drop-out function that
enables you to specify a color for the scanner to omit from the
scanned image during black and white or grayscale scanning.
● Skip Blank Page Function
The scanner is equipped with a Skip Blank Page function that
enables you to scan a document without storing images of blank
pages, regardless of whether each page of the document is two-
sided or one-sided. Both sides are scanned, but saving the image
is skipped for scan images judged to be from a blank page.
