Radio Shack 25-3053 owner manual Configuring Scanner

•(Contrast) — Drag the slider to the left or right to adjust the contrast of the scanned image.

•(Gamma) — Gamma correc- tion allows you to achieve pre- cise color matching. Because the computer cannot always transmit the exact color information to the hardware, you might have to make some color adjustments using the Gamma setting.

Click on Auto Color Balance to use the default Gamma setting. This setting works in most cases and normally does not need adjustment. Otherwise, click on Manual, then drag the slider to the left or right to improve the appearance of colors in a scanned image on your monitor.

Descreen — Select this option when scanning a picture from a newspaper or magazine article, or another object that contains images with patterns or dots. Scans of pat- terns or dots sometimes have a dis- torted or wavy appearance. The scanner scans the object to com- pensate for the patterns and dots, and produces a clearer image. The scanning might slow down a bit when this option is selected. Do not select this option when scanning photographs.

48-Bits Output — Select this option when using application soft- ware that can work with 48-bit objects (such as Adobe Photoshop and PageManager). Not all applica- tions can work with 48-bit objects. If you are not sure if your application can work with 48-bit objects, check your application’s documentation.

Note: For more details about the Scan Man- ager's features, choose Scan Manager Help from the Help menu.

9.Click Preview. The scanner scans the object and displays a preview using the options you selected.

10.Review the image to make sure it is what you want. Readjust the settings if necessary.

11.To see a preview again before scanning the final image, click Preview.

12.When you are satisfied with the image settings, click Scan.

The scanner scans the object, and a progress bar appears showing the percent- age completed.

When the scan is complete, the scanned im- age appears in the destination software.

See the PageManager User's Manual and Working with PageManager for more infor- mation about using the PageManager soft- ware.
