saturation (add black) on a scale of –10 (blackest) to +10 (most

 

saturated, brightest). Zero, the default, is neutral.

of the media in the selected tray. If the media in the tray is larger

 

than the area the scanner can image, it will scan the largest

 

possible area and scale the image up to fit the media, without

 

distortion.

printed.
