Mode—From left to right the three modes are color, grayscale, and black-and-white. The same symbols next to the pre-set options indicate their mode setting. Click a mode to select it for the scan.

Res—This is the resolution setting for the scan in dots-per-inch (dpi). The higher the dpi, the sharper the image. But higher dpi settings also produce larger files sizes. Usually the higher resolution settings are used for precision work, such as photographs or fine artwork. Click the drop-down arrow and choose one of the resolution settings from the list.

Size—The page size for the image. If you want to use one of those pre-set sizes, click the drop-down arrow and choose the size from the list. If you want to create a custom size, click on the picture window and drag the mouse. A dotted box on the window indicates the page size, and the two number boxes—with the vertical and horizontal symbols next to them—show the actual page size in inches. You can also enter the vertical and horizontal sizes in those two number boxes.

AutoCrop—Select this option to let the scanner automatically determine the size of the item being scanned. For example, if you put a photo in the middle of the glass, the scanner will automatically determine the size of the photo. When AutoCrop is selected, the scanner makes two passes—the first pass senses the item’s size, and the second pass scans the image. This option overrides the selections for Size.

Adv. Settings—Click this button to see advanced settings for scanning. See the Help information for details about the advanced settings.
