• You must use a Class 2 power
source that supplies 12V DC
and delivers at least 1250 mA.
Its center tip must be set to
positive and its plug must fit the
scanner's power jack. The
supplied adapter meets these

whether your computer
supports USB, first make sure
there is a USB port on the back

of your PC (some computers
have USB ports in other
locations, such as on the
monitor or keyboard).
• If your computer does not have
USB ports, you need to install a
USB interface card (check your
computer User's Manual for
USB support information).
• If you are a Windows XP user,
follow the onscreen instructions
to install the scanner's software.

Resolution:
detail collected from an original image. Higher
resolution produces greater detail. Generally, we
recommend you keep the resolution as low as possible,
because higher resolution slows scan time and
increases file size. When using True Color or Gray
scale, a lower resolution (100-200dpi) captures more
color and detail than most printers or monitors do.
When you adjust the resolution, watch the projected file
size in the message bar. See the Default Scan

The above options are for advanced users and users
already familiar with image editing tools. We strongly
recommend that beginners do not use these tools until they
have become familiar with the scanner and the technical
terminology related to image creation. Many image editing
software applications also include these functions. If you
must adjust image color levels, please choose the
appropriate options before you begin adjusting. Following
are a few practical tips for your reference.
Also known as Tone Correction Commands, these settings
adjust images as they are scanned. For example, if you
have a photo that is over-exposed (too light) you can
decrease the brightness or color correction to darken the
photo. Contrast makes the difference be tw e en da rk an d
light areas more or less obvious. Increasing it increases the
difference, while decreasing it reduces the difference. Try
small changes at first and watch the effect. For most photos
and documents, you will not need to adjust these values.
The Color Correction Control also allows you to adjust the
gamma. If you have an “off-color” original, for example, one
in which skin tones are a little green, try reducing green
gamma and/or increasing red gamma. Gamma may be
adjusted either by increasing/reducing the gamma of the
color, or by reducing/increasing its complementary colors.
After previewing your scan, changes made to these settings
are reflected in the preview window. Making changes this
way allows you to experiment without having to scan again
to check the results every time.
Adjusting brightness or contrast makes an image lighter or
darker, actually reducing the amount of information
collected from the original. Adjusting gamma collects more
information from the darker or lighter areas.
5%#00+0)"0+)*6"5*165
If you have particularly dark photos (that are correctly
exposed) try increasing the gamma a l ittle (maybe up to 1.4)
to bring out details in the shadowed areas without affecting
the overall tonal range in the image.
