6.Contrast. Select a Contrast setting from Low () to High () or enter the contrast value in the text field. Valid values are 0 to 255. For gray scale images only.

A low contrast value produces a scanned output of mostly midtones (more subtle change in gray levels are detected).

A high contrast value produces a scanned output of mostly blacks and whites (only large changes in gray levels are detected).

7.Brightness. Select a Brightness setting from Low () to High () or enter the brightness value in the text field. Valid values are 0 to 255.

A low brightness value produces a darker image.

A high brightness value produces a lighter image.

8.Despeckle. Select a Despeckle value to reduce the amount of noise or stray spots (specks, etc.) on an image. Select a value of 0, 1 or 2 from the list box or use the slide bar to make a despeckle selection.

The value you select will depend on how clean or speckled the image is. If there are no specks on the image, select 0. Despeckle is for bi-tonal images only.

9.Scan Output. Select the desired Scan Output depending upon the type of images in the application.

Bi-tonal: each image will be processed as a single-page TIFF file using CCITT Group 3 or 4 compression (for black and white images).

16 gray: each image will be processed as a single-page TIFF file using JBIG compression (for 16-level gray scale images).

256 gray: each image will be processed as a single-page TIFF file using JPEG compression (for 256-level gray scale images).

NOTES:

For Duplex Processing, the Scan Output setting must be the same for both the Front and Back settings.

When Film View is selected as the Scan Area, it is suggested that you select 256 gray as the Scan Output.

10.Sharpening. Select a Sharpening option.

Normal: used to accentuate the fine details of an image. Normal is typically used to enhance the detail of an image which contains small print.

Low: used to enhance images containing dot matrix text and/or images printed with shaded or colored backgrounds using halftone screens. This option reduces background noise.

Photo: if the image is comprised mainly of photographs.

Photo & Text: if the image is a mix of text, line art, and photographs (i.e., for check camera-sorter films).

Text: if the image is mostly text.
