Setting Preferences

You can select a preference that governs how your source image is scanned.

Text Enhanced is designed for use with OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software. This setting increases the contrast in the black and white scanning to promote the accurate recognition of characters in OCR software. Resolution should be at least 300 dpi for OCR scans.

For applications that request a black and white scan and do not use the scan window (including most OCR applications), the text enhanced setting is automatically used.
