Scan Type Select from a range of scan colour depths.
Black & White
Use for text or line art images.
Grey (Error Diffusion)
Use for photographic images or graphics. (Error Diffusion
is a method for creating simulated grey images without
using true grey dots. Black dots are put in a specific
pattern to give a grey appearance.)
True Grey
Use for photographic images or graphics. This mode is
more exact because it uses up to 256 shades of grey.
24bit Colour
Uses up to 16.8 million colours to scan the image.
Although using 24bit Colour creates an image with the
most accurate colour reproduction, it requires the most
memory and has the longest transfer time.
Auto
Uses suitable colours for your document automatically.
Yes Yes Yes Yes
Document Size Document size is set to Auto by default. You can scan
documents of any size without making any adjustments to
Document Size. For faster scan speeds, select the exact
size of your document from the Document Size
drop-down list.
NOTE
• If you select a 1 to 2 document size, the scanned
image is divided into two documents that are half the
size of the setting. If you select 1to2(A4), the
scanned image is divided into two A5-size documents.
• To use 1 to 2 scanning, clear the
Auto Image Rotation check box in the
Advanced Settings dialog box.
• If you select a 2 in 1 document size, two scanned
images will be combined into one document.
Yes Yes Yes Yes
Brightness Adjust the setting (from -50 to 50) to get the best image.
The default value of 0 represents an average and is
usually suitable for most images. You can set the
brightness level by dragging the slider to the right or left to
lighten or darken the image. You can also enter a value in
the box to set the level. 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.
