Background Color

Background Color specifies the background color of the image. This setting is ignored if the application explicitly sets the background color in the image. Use Background Color to set the color of unpainted regions to white for text applications like Word. Otherwise, you might end up with black text on black background!

Scaling

Scaling controls how the image is scaled for output. 100% keeps the image size unchanged. To shrink the image, set the value to less than 100%. To expand the image, set the value to greater than 100%. The range of valid scaling values is 20% to 400%.

Minimum Exposure Time

This setting applies mostly to very old film recorders that have no internal slice mark control mechanisms. Minimum Exposure Time controls the exposure time of the film recorder to eliminate slice marks (periodic faint horizontal lines) on the output. Normally Fastest Possible should be selected. If there are slice marks on the output slide, set the minimum exposure time to 1.5 times the normal processing time of the image. If slice marks are still there, increase the value and try again.

Color Balance

Color balance controls the percentages of red, green and blue used in the film recorder. Normally, each of the three colors is set to 100%. The range of valid color balance values is 25% to 400%.
