Scanning from PaperPort • Enhanced bit-depths-If you are using an imaging application other than PaperPort, the image type drop-down list will include 16-Bit Grayscale and 48-Bit Color. These image types are only available if the imaging application supports them. You will receive an error message if the application does not support the selected enhanced bit-depth. NOTE: You can see the file size at the bottom of the Scan Manager. Resolution Resolution determines the amount of detail you can see in the scanned image. The resolution setting for a scan is in dots-per-inch (dpi). The higher the resolution, the finer the details, however, higher dpi settings also take longer to scan and produce larger files sizes. Higher settings are typically used for precision work, such as photographs or fine artwork. • Click the Resolution drop-down list and select a resolution. The resolution settings on your DocuMate 520 scanner range from 100 dpi to 2400 dpi. Brightness and Contrast Sometimes an item is scanned with the brightness and contrast set too light or too dark. For example, a note written with a light pencil may need to be scanned darker to improve legibility. Brightness refers to the lightness or darkness of the image. Contrast is the range between the darkest and lightest portions of the image. The greater the contrast, the more the difference between the lighter and darker shades in the image. • Dark/Light slider-adjusts the brightness of the scan. Drag the slider to the right or left to increase or decrease the brightness. • Low/High slider-adjusts the contrast. Drag the slider to the right or left to increase or decrease the contrast.

Scanning from PaperPort
Enhanced bit-depths
—If you are using an imaging application
other than PaperPort, the image type drop-down list will include
16-Bit Grayscale and 48-Bit Color. These image types are only
available if the imaging application supports them. You will
receive an error message if the application does not support
the selected enhanced bit-depth.
Resolution
Resolution determines the amount of detail you can see in the
scanned image. The resolution setting for a scan is in dots-per-inch
(dpi). The higher the resolution, the finer the details, however,
higher dpi settings also take longer to scan and produce larger files
sizes. Higher settings are typically used for precision work, such as
photographs or fine artwork.
Click the
Resolution
drop-down list and select a resolution.
The resolution settings on your DocuMate 520 scanner range
from 100 dpi to 2400 dpi.
Brightness and Contrast
Sometimes an item is scanned with the brightness and contrast set
too light or too dark. For example, a note written with a light pencil
may need to be scanned darker to improve legibility.
Brightness refers to the lightness or darkness of the image.
Contrast is the range between the darkest and lightest portions of
the image. The greater the contrast, the more the difference
between the lighter and darker shades in the image.
Dark/Light slider
—adjusts the brightness of the scan. Drag
the slider to the right or left to increase or decrease the
brightness.
Low/High slider
—adjusts the contrast. Drag the slider to the
right or left to increase or decrease the contrast.
