You may select the Settings button within each application to access several additional format and image settings.
The following is a list of available settings within the Settings window.
Note: Settings that are not supported by the api version of the printer will not appear within the Settings window.
Setting | Function |
|---|---|
Scanner File Format | The Scanner File Format setting allows you to set the format of the file that is sent from the printer. The Scanner File Format setting does not affect the final ScanPath output format. This setting requires a minimum API version of 3.0. Tiff, PDF, and Compact PDF are the only fully supported choices. XPS, Compact XPS, and other file types are not supported. |
Color Type | The Color Type setting allows you to set the whether the scanned file is displayed in full color, black, greyscale, or auto color. This setting requires a minimum API version of 2.4. The Auto Color option requires an aAPI pi version of 4.0. |
Page Side Selection | The Page Side Selection allows you to set whether the scanned file will be one sided, two sided, or second side rotated. |
Resolution Sizes | The Resolution Sizes setting allows you to set the resolution of the scanned file. The resolution may be set to 200, 300, 400, or 600 DPI. This setting requires a minimum API version of 2.4. |
Scan Sizes | The Scan Sizes setting allows you to set the size of the scanned file. The scan size may be set to Auto or Standard size. This setting requires a minimum API version of 3.1. It is recommended to use Auto unless the MFP is unable to determine the size automatically, such as legal size in feeders on A4 devices. |
Scan Paper Sizes | Scan Paper Sizes allows the user to choose a paper size manually if Standard is selected in Scan Sizes. This is best used if the MFP auto detect does not work with the desired format, such as legal size. LEF and SEF stand for long edge first and short edge first. |
Separate Scan | The Separate Scan setting allows you to set the behavior for the printer after all available page have finished scanning. If the Separate Scan setting is enabled, the printer will prompt the user to confirm that all pages have been scanned. The user may select the option to continue scanning or finish the job. Set the Separate Scan setting to Yes to enable the printer behavior. Set the Separate Scan to No to disable the printer behavior. This setting requires a minimum API version of 4.9. |
Background Removal
| The Background Removal setting allows you to automatically or manually set the whiteness of the background for your scanned file. The Background Removal setting must be set to Manual in order to enable the Manual Value setting. |
Manual Value | The Manual Value setting allows you to adjust the background whiteness when scanning files with dark backgrounds. The following is a list of Manual Values from lightest to darkest. 1 / -6 Light 2 / -5 3 / -4 4 / -3 5 / -2 6 / -1 7 / 0 8/ +1 9 / +2 Dark |
Sharpness Selection | The Sharpness setting allows you to sharpen the focus and define the borders of your scanned file. The sharpness increases from very low, low, none, high, very high, with very low being the least and very high being the greatest. This setting requires a minimum API version of 4.9. |
Density Selection | The Density Selection setting allows you to set the density of pixels for your scanned file from 1 to 9. A density of 1 is the least and a density of 9 is the greatest. This setting requires a minimum API version of 4.0. |
Book Original | The Book Original setting is no longer supported by the ScanPath Konica Minolta i-Option Connector. |

The Blank Page Removal setting can be configured through the ScanPath Configuration Tool.
Printer Specific Issues
A4 Devices Scan Direction
On A4 devices, documents can only be fed into the document feeder short-side-first. For newer A4 devices, scans that were right-side-up are now sideways. Some devices may contain firmware settings which may be set by Konica Minolta to rectify this issue. If a process includes auto-rotation based on OCR, the user will not experience this issue.
Failed Conversion from TIF Using IT4 Devices
Note: Some IT4 printers, such as the bizhub 654, may experience issues when MFPs are configured to convert to TIFs using non-standard compression.
To fix TIF conversion issues, access the MFP settings within the Utility settings.
Within the Utility settings, navigate to the user settings and select the Scan Settings.
Within the Scan Settings, set the Color TIFF Type to Modified TAG and click OK.
