Scanning Adjusting the Image 8 „ Brightness Adjust the setting (-50 to 50) to get the best image. The default value is 0, representing an average, and is usually suitable for most images. You can set the Brightness level by dragging the slide bar to the right or left to lighten or darken the image. You can also enter a value in the box to set the level. If the scanned image is too light, set a lower Brightness level and scan the document again. If the image is too dark, set a higher Brightness level and scan the document again. 8 Note The Brightness setting is only available if you have set Scan Type to Black & White, Gray (Error Diffusion) or True Gray. „ Contrast 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 enter a value in the box to set the Contrast. Note The Contrast setting is only available if you have set Scan Type to Gray (Error Diffusion) or True Gray. „ Reduce Noise You can improve and enhance the quality of your scanned images with this selection. The Reduce Noise setting is available when using 24bit Color and scan resolutions of 300 × 300 dpi, 400 × 400 dpi or 600 × 600 dpi.
