– Select Gray 8 bits to scan the image in grayscale.
– Select RGB 24 bits to scan the image in color.
– Select B & W + Color to scan the image in color and in black-and-white.

• Select a desired resolution in the Resolution for your image output resolution.

Image Correction Options:
Let you adjust the image attributes in your scan software.

• Brightness: Lets you control the brightness level of the scanned image.
Increasing the brightness makes all tones in the image lighter. Levels of
brightness are from -100% to 100%, where 0 means no brightness is applied.

• Contrast: Represents the range between the darkest and lightest shades in the
image, and increasing the contrast makes for greater separation between the
darkest and lightest areas of the image. Levels of contrast are from -100% to
100%, where 0 means no contrast is applied.

• Threshold: Represents the dividing point between black and white; the range is 0
to 255, and the default is 128. Thus, gray levels below the Threshold are
converted to black, while gray levels equal to or above the Threshold are
converted to white, resulting in a high-contrast, black-and-white representation
of the image.

• Gamma: Lets you adjust the intensity of the midtones of an image. Acceptable
ranges are from 0.1 to 3.0. A value of 1.0 means that no gamma value is applied;
default is 1.0.

• Shadow: Lets you control the shadows of an image. Acceptable ranges are from
0 to 252. The default is 0.
