Three ways to scan
scanning produces an image in varying shades of gray. Select Color to scan color photographs and other color items.
Resolution – Drag the slider to the right or left to adjust the dots per inch (dpi) of the resolution. The higher the dpi setting, the sharper and clearer the scanned image. However, higher dpi settings take longer to scan and produce larger files for the scanned images.
Brightness and Contrast – Drag the sliders to the right or left to adjust the brightness and contrast of the scanned image. The Contrast setting does not apply to the Black/White mode.

Page Size – Choose a page size from the drop-down list. The outlines on the picture represent the various page sizes. Clicking one of those outlines also selects it as the page size for the scan. If you select the Custom option from the drop- down list, boxes appear in place of the picture. Enter the horizontal and vertical page dimensions in the boxes.
AutoCrop – Select this option to let the scanner automatically determine the size of the item being scanned. For example, if you put a photo in the middle of the glass, the scanner will automatically determine the size of the photo. When AutoCrop is selected, the scanner makes two passes—the first pass senses the item’s size, and the second pass scans the image. This option overrides the Page Size menu selection.
DeScreen – Select this option when scanning a picture from a newspaper or magazine article, or other item that contains images with patterns or dots. Scans of patterns or dots sometimes have a distorted or wavy appearance. The scanner scans the item to compensate for the patterns and dots, and produces a clearer image. The scanning may slow down a bit when this option is selected. You do not need to select this option when scanning photographs. The DeScreen setting does not apply to the Black/White mode.
