2Adjust the following settings, if needed, in the Scanner Setup window:

•Resolution

•Scan Type (Black & White, Gray [Error Diffusion], True Gray, 256 color, 24 bit color, 24 bit color (Fast))

•Brightness

•Contrast

•Size

3Select the Start button from the Scanner window.

When scanning is completed, close the scanner window. The PaperPort® screen will appear showing the image you scanned highlighted in red.

Settings in the Scanner WindowImageResolution

Select the scanning resolution from the Resolution drop down list. Higher resolutions take more memory and transfer time, but can achieve a finer scanned image.

Scan Type

Black & White: Set the Color Type to Black & White for text or line art.

Gray Scale: For photographic images, set the Color Type to Gray (Error Diffusion) or True Gray.

Colors: Choose either 256 Color, which scans up to 256 colors, 24-bit color which scans up to 16.8 million colors. Although using 24-bit color creates an image with the most accurate colors, the image file will be approximately three times larger than a file created with 256 Color.

Brightness

Brightness: Adjusting the brightness settings to obtain the best image. Brother Multi-Function Link® Pro Suite offers 100 brightness settings (-50 to 50). The default value is 0, representing an “average” setting.

You can set the brightness level by dragging the slidebar to the right to lighten the image or to the left to darken the image. You can also type a value in the box to set the settings.

If the scanned image is too light, set a lower brightness value and scan the document again.

If the image is too dark, set a higher brightness value and scan the document again.
