CONFIGURING THE SCANNER 29
4.Adjust the scan settings that you want.
Mode—Select Black/White to scan in black and white. For example, letters and memos are usually scanned in black and white. Select Grayscale to scan items such as documents containing drawings or black and white photographs. The scanning produces an image in varying shades of gray. Select Color to scan color photographs and other color items.
Resolution—Drag the slider to the right or left to adjust the dots per inch (dpi) of the resolution. The maximum resolution is 1200 dpi; the minimum is 50 dpi. The higher the dpi setting, the sharper and clearer the scanned image. However, higher dpi settings take longer to scan and produce larger files for the scanned images.
Brightness and Contrast—Drag the sliders to the right or left to adjust the brightness and contrast of the scanned image. The Contrast setting does not apply to the Black/White mode.
5.Click the Page Settings tab to adjust the scan page settings.
Page Size—Choose a page size from the drop-down list. The outlines on the picture represent the various page sizes. Clicking one of those outlines also selects it as the page size for the scan. If you select the Custom option from the drop-down list, boxes appear in place of the picture. Enter the horizontal and vertical page dimensions in the boxes.
