Brightness

Brightness—Adjust the brightness settings to obtain the best image. The Brother TWAIN Scanner driver 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 setting. Click OK.

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.

Contrast

The contrast setting is adjustable only when you have selected one of the gray scale settings, but it is not available when Black & White is selected as the Gray Scale.

Increasing the contrast level (by dragging the slidebar to the right) emphasizes dark and light areas of the Image, while decreasing the contrast level (by dragging the slidebar to the left) ravels more detail in gray areas. Instead of using the slidebar, you can type a value in the box to set the contrast. Click OK.
