Image Settings The Image Settings options allow you to adjust the brightness, contrast, and color matching features of your printed images. It is best to let the printer driver's Automatic Document Type setting select the appropriate image settings for you. If your original image is of poor quality, however, you can adjust the image settings to improve the printed output. To help you decide on the best settings, a preview of a sample image appears in the Image Settings dialog box. As you change settings, the preview image is updated accordingly. If you want to change the sample image to another bitmap (.BMP) image file, double-click on the preview image area. Then, in the dialog box that appears, select any other bitmap file you may have. The image must be a 1-, 4-, or 8-bit per pixel bitmap format. If the image size is different from the original, it may appear small or incomplete in the preview image area. Brightness Controls the lightness or darkness of an image. Increase brightness to lighten an image; decrease it to darken an image. Contrast Controls the degree of difference between the light and dark areas of an image. When you increase contrast, the light areas become very light and the dark areas become very dark. When you decrease contrast, the difference in intensity is more subtle, making the whites and bright colors more muted and the blacks appear very dark gray.
