Scanning to a computer or flash drive 130 Resolution This option adjusts the output quality of your file. Increasing the image resolution increases the file size and the time needed to scan your original document. Image resolution can be decreased to reduce the file size. Advanced Imaging • Background Removal-Adjusts the white portion of the output. Click the arrow buttons to increase or decrease the white portion. • Contrast-Click the arrow buttons to increase or decrease the contrast. • Shadow Detail-Click the arrow buttons to increase or decrease the visible detail in the shadows. • Sharpness-Click the arrow buttons to increase or decrease the sharpness. • Color Dropout-Color dropout is used for form Optical Character Recognition (OCR) processing. Selecting a color eliminates the color from a form, enabling improved OCR capabilities. • Scan edge to edge-Select this box to scan edge to edge. • Mirror Image-Select this box to create a mirror image scan. • Negative Image-Select this box to create a negative image scan. • Jpeg Quality-Select this box to choose JPEG quality. Improving scan quality Question When should I use Text mode? When should I use Text/Photo mode? When should I use Photo mode? Tip • Use Text mode when text preservation is the main goal of the scan, and preserving images copied from the original document is not a concern. • Text mode is recommended for receipts, carbon copy forms, and documents that only contain text or fine line art. • Use Text/Photo mode when scanning an original document that contains a mixture of text and graphics. • Text/Photo mode is recommended for magazine articles, business graphics, and brochures. Use Photo mode when scanning photos printed on a laser printer or taken from a magazine or newspaper.
