- Scan
- Select the Photo, Web, or Text option depending on the type of document you want to scan.
Scan (Image Type) Resolution Scan Type Photo Use for scanning photo images. 300 x 300 dpi 24bit Color Web Use for attaching the scanned image to web pages. 100 x 100 dpi 24bit Color Text Use for scanning text documents. 200 x 200 dpi Black & White
- Resolution
- Select a scanning resolution from the Resolution drop-down list. Higher resolutions take more memory and transfer time, but produce a finer scanned image.
- Scan Type
- Select from a range of scan color depths.
-
- Black & White
- Use for text or line art images.
- Gray (Error Diffusion)
- Use for photographic images or graphics. (Error Diffusion is a method for creating simulated gray images without using true gray dots. Black dots are put in a specific pattern to give a gray appearance.)
- True Gray
- Use for photographic images or graphics. This mode is more accurate because it uses up to 256 shades of gray.
- 24bit Color
- Use to create an image with the most accurate color reproduction. This mode uses up to 16.8 million colors to scan the image, but it requires the most memory and has the longest transfer time.
- Document Size
- Select the exact size of your document from a selection of preset scan sizes.
If you select Custom, the Custom Document Size dialog box appears and you can specify the document size.
- Brightness
- Set the Brightness level by dragging the slider to the right or left to lighten or darken the image. If the scanned image is too light, set a lower brightness level and scan the document again. If the image is too dark, set a higher brightness level and scan the document again. You can also type a value in the field to set the brightness level.
- Contrast
- Increase or decrease the Contrast level by moving the slider to the right or left. An increase emphasizes dark and light areas of the image, while a decrease reveals more details in gray areas. You can also type a value in the field to set the contrast level.
