Binarization
This is the process of converting a grayscale or color image to a bi-tonal image. There are several different methods of performing this conversion.
Options: Dynamic Threshold, Fixed Processing, Halftone 1~5, Error Diffusion.
Dynamic Threshold: Selecting Dynamic Threshold allows the scanner
to dynamically evaluate each document to determine the optimal threshold value to produce the highest quality image. This is used to scan mixed document containing faint text, shaded background, or color background with a single setting. If Dynamic Threshold is selected, Threshold, Brightness, and Contrast are not available.
Sensitivity of Dynamic Threshold
Occasionally your scanned image may contain small dots or speckles. To remove these spots, increase the sensitivity value by moving the bar to the right. The value ranges from 1 to 30. The default is 20.
