HOW TO SCAN USING WINDOWS

2 - 17

Scan Type

Brightness

Adjust the setting (-50 to 50) to obtain the best image. The default

value is 0, representing an ‘average’.

You can set the level by dragging the slide bar to the right or left to

lighten or darken the image. You can also type a value in the box for

the setting.

If the scanned image is too light, set a lower brightness value and

scan the document again. If the image is too dark, set a higher

brightness value and scan the document again.

Contrast

This setting is only adjustable when you have selected one of the

gray scale settings. It is not available when Black & White and Color

settings are selected as the Scan Type.

You can increase or decrease the contrast level by moving the slide

bar to the left or right. An increase emphasizes dark and light areas

of the image, while a decrease reveals more detail in gray areas. You

can also type a value in the box for the setting.

Black & White: Set the Scan Type to Black & White for text or line art.

Gray Scale: Set the Scan Type to Gray (Error Diffusion) or

True Gray for photographic images.

Colors: Set either:

256 Color, which scans up to 256 colors, or 24 bit

Color which scans up to 16.8 million colors.

Although using 24 bit Color creates an image with

the most accurate colors, the image file will be

approximately three times larger than a file created

with 256 Color.

The Brightness setting is only available when Black & White or

Gray is selected.
