Despeckle NOTE  Despeckle works with bitmap images only. 
The Despeckle feature helps remove unwanted noise (small black 
dots) from monochrome images and background from scanned 
color images, enhancing the appearance of the print.  
The feature can be changed to meet the editing requirements of 
individual documents by right clicking the [Despeckle] item in the 
[Service Area] and selecting [Properties]. This displays a 
[Despeckle Properties] dialog box (Fig. 1) from which you can 
specify the degree to which an image will be cleaned (Low, 
Medium, High, or Specify by Dot Size). Be sure to click [OK] to save 
your selection before editing the document.
