Sides (Duplex)

Note: Duplex scanning is not available on selected printer models.

Darkness

This option adjusts how light or dark your scanned documents will turn out in relation to the original document.

•Use Text/Photo mode when scanning an original document that contains a mixture of text and graphics.

•Text/Photo mode is recommended for magazine articles, business graphics, and brochures.
