Scan Settings Tab
On the Scan Configuration Properties dialog box, type a name.
Mode—select a scanning mode:
• Black&White to scan in black and white. For example, letters and memos are usually
scanned in black and white.
• Grayscale to scan items such as documents containing drawings or black and white
photographs.
• Color to scan color photographs and other color items. Color scans have the largest file size.
Resolution—drag the slider to the right or left to adjust the dots per inch (dpi) of the resolution.
The higher the dpi setting, the sharper and clearer the scanned image. However, higher dpi
settings take longer to scan and produce larger files for the scanned images.
Brightness—sometimes an image is scanned with the brightness and contrast set too light or
too dark. For example, a note written with a light pencil may need to be scanned darker to
improve legibility. Increasing or decreasing the brightness makes the scanned image lighter or
darker.
Contrast—the difference between the lighter and darker portions of the image. Increasing the
contrast emphasizes the difference between the lighter and darker portions, decreasing the
contrast de-emphasizes that difference.
Key and Lock icon—if you want to lock the configuration, click the key icon to change it from a
Key to a Lock.
If the configuration
is locked, click the
lock to unlock it. The
icon becomes a key.
