Print the 480cx User Guide Scanner Control Tabs You can adjust the settings for the document or photograph to be scanned prior to capturing the image using the features of the Scanner Control Tabs. Scanner Control Tabs Each of these tabs is described in detail in the following sections of this User Guide: The Basic Tab see page 6-10. The Image Quality Tab see page 6-21. The Filters Tab see page 6-35. The About Tab indicates the version of the WorkCentre 480cx TWAIN Scanning application.
Print the 480cx User Guide The Basic Tab The features of the Basic Tab are described in this section. All of the features of this tab are available when the Image type selection is True Color, 256 Colors, or Gray 256 Scales. Refer to the table below which indicates the tab features that are available for the Lineart B/W and Halftone B/W Image Type selections.
Print the 480cx User Guide True Color, RGB In this scan mode, your scanner captures 24 bits of color image information for every dot (pixel) in your resulting scanned image. Therefore over 16 million colors are possible. RGB simply stands for Red-Green-Blue; these being the additive primary colors. Additive refers to the addition, or mixing, of light of different colors. For example, mixing equal proportions of fully saturated red, green, and blue light produces white light.
Print the 480cx User Guide Gray 256 Scales Halftone B/W Lineart B/W Gray 256 Scales Images scanned in Gray 256 Scales mode are scanned in 256 shades of gray. If high quality copies of photographs or other continuous tone originals are desired, Gray 256 Shades mode is the best choice. Gray 256 Scales provides accurate representation of black and white, and intermediate gray shades between black and white, for each individual pixel.
Print the 480cx User Guide Lineart B/W Lineart B/W mode is generally the best choice for printed text or pen-andink drawings. Like the Halftone B/W image type, this image type defines the state of each pixel in the image with one bit that is either on or off. For this reason, files created in this mode will require approximately the same amount of disk space as a Halftone B/W file. Note: In both Halftone and Lineart modes, the resolution can only be set at 150, 200, or 300 dpi.
Print the 480cx User Guide Resolution The resolution setting determines the amount of information the scanner will capture in a scanned image.
Print the 480cx User Guide Resolution is measured in dpi (dots per inch). The higher the resolution is, the finer the image detail and the bigger the image file size is. Increasing the resolution will result in corresponding increases in image detail and image file size. See the examples of images at 75 and 300 dpi.
Print the 480cx User Guide Reduce/Enlarge This feature allows an image to be automatically enlarged or reduced as it is scanned. The default scaling factor is 100%. The selected scaling factor affects size of the printed scan output. This feature is available when the scanned image type is set to one of the color choices or to Gray 256 scales. Note: When scanning a printed image for screen display only, scale the image down to increase processing speed and decrease the file size.
Print the 480cx User Guide Scaling 50% Scaling 100% Fixed scaling options are displayed as percentages of reduction or enlargement. Image width and height are scaled proportionally when fixed scaling factors are used. To scale to a size other than the fixed sizes, select the Custom option in the Scaling menu. The Custom Scaling dialog box will appear. To change the Height or Width text box values: 1 Insert the desired height and width values into the Height and Width text boxes.
Print the 480cx User Guide Note: You can also change Height and Width values by directly adjusting the selection frame. Note: Output image file size is proportional to both Height and Width. If both Height and Width values are doubled, then the image area and image file size will increase four-fold. Note: Once you have confirmed or changed the size, resolution, and final scan boundary settings, the scanning software determines the size of the resulting scanned image and displays this information.
Print the 480cx User Guide Besides a default setting of No Descreen, the Descreen selector provides three grades of descreen preprocessing as described below. No Descreen No descreening. Art print (175 lpi) The Art print selection is used to smooth the fine dot pattern found in high quality art prints and magazines made in a resolution higher than 200dpi. Magazine (133 lpi) The Magazine selection is used to smooth the fine dot pattern found in glossy magazines made in the resolution higher than 200dpi.
Print the 480cx User Guide Saved Settings Saved Settings allow the user to save a custom scan configuration. Saved settings are used when the user wants to scan with a specific set of parameters on a regular basis. The saved settings give the user the ability to create a named set that can be selected at any time, avoiding the work of manually re-entering the parameters.
Print the 480cx User Guide The Image Quality Tab The features of the Image Quality tab are described below. All of the features of this tab are available when the True Color RGB, 256 Colors, and Gray 256 Scales selections are made for Image Type. Refer to the table below which indicates the tab features that are available for the Lineart B/W and Halftone B/W Image Type selections.
Print the 480cx User Guide Color Channel The Color Channel radio buttons are used to specify the color channel in which to change the Highlight, Shadow and Midtone values. Gray Channel The Channel Selector allows you to select an active channel. The Gray Channel is the only channel available when the scanned image is scanned as Gray 256 Scales, Halftone, B/W, and Lineart, B/W. The Gray Channel is also available when the scanned image is scanned in True Color, RGB or 256 Colors.
Print the 480cx User Guide Highlight This control changes the highlighting of the entire image. It sets the value that the scanner and/or your image processing software uses for the white reference. Increasing the highlight value darkens the light areas of your image. Decreasing the highlight value lightens the light areas of your image. The Highlight value represents the lightest value in an image. All pixels above this point will be rendered as pure white.
Print the 480cx User Guide Shadow The Shadow value represents the darkest value in an image. All pixels below this point will be rendered as pure black. If you subsequently broaden the shadow points on the Level Adjustment graph, the pixels will be remapped within the new range thus allowing you to see more detail in the image. The default value for Shadow is 0. You can increase or decrease the shadows in a particular image as needed by adjusting this scroll bar.
Print the 480cx User Guide Ordinarily, good results can be obtained from your machine by leaving the slider at its default value of 1.50 for Gray and 1.30 for Red, Green, and Blue. You may select the Reset Settings from the Settings menu to get the default value. However, you can adjust the tone values of any or all of the color channels of your images by selecting the Red, Green, or Blue Channel buttons and dragging the sliders to change the Midtone value.
Print the 480cx User Guide Level Adjustment The Level Adjustment dialog box shows the distribution of brightness levels in your image. To adjust the histogram plot, drag the triangles located below the horizontal bar to the desired values. The left (black) triangle changes the shadow levels. The right (white) triangle changes the highlight levels. The middle (gray) triangle controls the midtone levels.
Print the 480cx User Guide The Midtone point represents the Gamma setting for your particular screen. On the histogram, the Shadow and Highlight scales are divided into 255 units. Therefore, all pixels in the original that are darker than the current shadow point are now completely black in the enhanced image. Conversely, all pixels in the original that are brighter than the current highlight point are now completely white in the processed image.
Print the 480cx User Guide Master, Red, Green, Blue Channel With color scanning selected, you may select a color channel via the color buttons. This will allow you to adjust the highlight, shadow, and midtone for each color in the Red ,Green , and Blue spectrum. The histogram plot is a bar chart of pixel counts, or frequencies, plotted against brightness levels with 0 (black) on the left end and 255 (white) at the right end.
Print the 480cx User Guide The effect of the Histogram plot changes in the Histogram dialog box may be restricted to a single color channel by selecting the Red, Green, or Blue channel buttons. Changes may be applied to all three color channels by selecting the Master button. Color saturation information at indicated levels will appear above the Histogram plot. Clicking the Histogram button at the bottom of the dialog box displays a histogram for the entire preview area, with statistics.

Print the 480cx User Guide Tonal Map If you select the Tonal Map tab, the following will be displayed. Tonal Map tab The Tonal Map is yet another way to adjust Highlight, Midtone, or Shadow levels in your images. When you open the Tonal Map dialog box, a tonal map consisting of a diagonally straight line appears. Notice that at every point on the default tonal map, the output shadow, midtone, and highlight brightness levels are equal to the input shadow, midtone, and highlight brightness levels.
Print the 480cx User Guide The shape and slant of the tonal map represent brightness level ratios between the input of the original image and the output image data. By clicking on the tonal map line, a hand-shaped cursor will appear which can be dragged to change the shape of the tonal map line. The horizontal axis represents the original input brightness and the vertical axis represents the enhanced brightness. Values on either scale range from 0 to 255.
Print the 480cx User Guide If the curve is changed into a concave shape below the original diagonal, the enhanced image will be darker than the original. Normal Image Darkened Image Operation: 1 Click on the Tonal Map icon in the Preview window or the Tonal Map tab in the Enhancement dialog box. Tonal Map dialog box will appear. 2 Click on the Tonal Map curve, an indicator appears which can then be dragged to change the shape of the curve.

All of the features of this tab are available when the Color or Gray 256 Scales selections are made for Image Type.
Print the 480cx User Guide Filter Filter is typically useful for high-contrast images which soften or sharpen edges and boundaries of an image. No Filter This is the default filter option. No filtering will take place when using this option. Sharpen This selection emphasizes the edges of an image. It sharpens the image boundaries by increasing the relative contrast between adjacent pixels.
Print the 480cx User Guide Blur This selection softens the image by smoothing out any sharp transitions in intensity between two adjacent pixels. Blur More This option further softens the image by performing the same function as the Blur option, but to a greater extent. Note: If you blur the image too much, you will risk losing texture and depth in the image.
Print the 480cx User Guide Rotate Image This selection provides the ability to rotate an image. The rotation mechanism rotates an image in 90º or 180º increments.
Print the 480cx User Guide Flip Image This selection provides the ability to flip an image. The flipping mechanism flips an image about the horizontal or vertical axis.
