Business Card Size
To scan business cards, select the Business Card size setting (90 x 60 mm), and then place the
business card at the top center of a carrier sheet.
When scanning photographs or other images for use in a word processor or other graphics
application, it is a good idea to try different settings for the Contrast, Mode and Resolution to
determine which settings look best.
Adjust Image
Brightness
Adjust the brightness settings to obtain the best image. The Brother TWAIN Scanner driver offers
100 brightness settings (-50 to 50). The default value is 0, representing an “average” setting.
You can set the brightness level by dragging the slidebar to the right to lighten the image or to the
left to darken the image. You can also type a value in the box to set the setting. Click OK.
If the scanned image is too light, set a lower
brightness value and scan the document
again.
If the image is too dark, set a higher
brightness value and scan the document
again.
Contrast
The contrast setting is adjustable only when you have selected one of the grey scale settings, but it
is not available when Black & White is selected as the grey scale.
Increasing the contrast level (by dragging the slidebar to the right) emphasizes dark and light areas of
the Image, while decreasing the contrast level (by dragging the slidebar to the left) reveals more detail
in grey areas. Instead of using the slidebar, you can type a value in the box to set the contrast. Click OK.
