Adjust this settings (-50 to 50) to obtain the best image. The default value is 0, representing an ‘average’.
You can set the level by dragging the slide bar to the right or left to lighten or darken the image. You can also type a value in the box for the setting.
If the scanned image is too light, set a lower brightness value and scan the document again. If the image is too dark, set a higher brightness value and scan the document again.
Contrast
This setting is adjustable only when you have selected one of the gray scale settings. It is not available when Black & White and Color settings are selected as the Scan Type.
You can increase or decrease the contrast level by moving the slide bar to the left or right. An increase emphasizes dark and light areas of the image, while a decrease reveals more detail in gray areas. You can also type a value in the box for the setting.

Using ScanSoft® PaperPort® 9.0SE and OmniPage® OCR

ScanSoft® PaperPort® 9.0SE for Brother is a document management application. You will use PaperPort
®
9.0SE to view
scanned documents. PaperPort
®
9.0SE has a sophisticated, yet easy-to-use, filing system that will help you organize your graphics and text documents. It allows you to combine or “stack” documents of different formats for printing, faxing or filing.

Viewing items

ScanSoft® PaperPort® 9.0SE provides several ways to view items: Desktop View displays a thumbnail (a small graphic that represents
each item in a Desktop or folder). Items in the selected folder appear on the PaperPort
Desktop. You can see PaperPort non-PaperPort

9.0SE items (files created using other applications).

9.0SE items include an icon that indicates the

application that was used to create the item; a non-PaperPort
9.0SE item is represented by a small rectangular thumbnail and not an actual image.

Organizing your items in folders

PaperPort® 9.0SE has an easy-to-use filing system for organizing your items. The filing system consists of folders and items that you select to view in Desktop View. An item can be a PaperPort
®
item or a non-PaperPort
Folders are arranged in a “tree” structure in the Folder View.
9.0SE item:
®
9.0SE
You use this section to select folders and view their items in Desktop View.
You can simply drag and drop an item onto a folder. When the folder is highlighted, release the mouse button and the item is stored in that folder.
Folders can be “nested”—that is, stored in other folders.
When you double-click a folder, its items (both PaperPort® 9.0SE MAX files and non PaperPort
®
9.0SE files) appear on the
Desktop.
You can also use Windows® Explorer to manage the folders
and items shown in Desktop View.

Quick links to other applications

ScanSoft® PaperPort® 9.0SE automatically recognizes many other applications on your computer and creates a “working link” to them.
The Send To Bar at the bottom of the Desktop view shows icons of those linked applications.
To use a link, drag an item onto one of the icons to start the application represented by the icon. A typical use of the Send To Bar is to select an item and then fax it.
This sample Send To Bar shows several applications with links to PaperPort
®
9.0SE.
®
If PaperPort
9.0SE does not automatically recognize one of the applications on your computer, you can manually create a link using the New Program Link... command. (See PaperPort
®
9.0SE in the Documentation section on the
CD-ROM for more information about creating new links.)
