Contrast

The Contrast option sets the image contrast by adjusting the difference

 

between black and white, thereby making an image sharper or softer.

 

In a low-contrast setting, the difference between black and white is

 

small, so the image is softer. In a high-contrast setting, the difference

 

between black and white is large, so the image is clearer. Select a

 

contrast value from 1-255. The default is 128.

Contrast 51

Contrast 128

Contrast 205

Select the Manual radio button in the Contrast group box. You can adjust the contrast setting by dragging the Contrast sliding control bar. Scan the document and check the contrast.

NOTE: The Automatic option is not available.
