    • Auto-rotate
    • Deskew
    • Line Removal
    • Despeckle

NOTE:

Settings availability varies by MFP model and its equipped options.

Explanation

Large scan-job conversions require higher CPU utilization and time. Hence, this can affect successful data transfer to time-controlled FTP connections and temporarily impact concurrent operations on the MFP.
