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.
