Contrast:
The contrast setting is adjustable only when you have selected one of the Gray Scale settings, but it
is not available when Black & White is selected as the Gray 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) ravels more
detail in gray areas. Instead of using the slidebar, you can type a value in the box to set the contrast.
Size:
Set the Size to one of the following:
Letter (8 1/2 × 11 in.)
A4 (210 × 297 mm.)
Legal (8 1/2 × 14 in.)
A5 (148 × 210 mm.)
B5 (182 × 257 mm.)
Executive (7 1/4 × 10 1/2 in.)
Business Card (90 × 60 mm.)
Custom (User adjustable from 0.35 × 0.35 in. to 8.5 × 14 in.)
After you select a custom size, you can adjust the scanning area further by using the left mouse
button to drag the dotted outline of the scanning area. This is required when you want to crop an
image when scanning.
To scan business cards, select the Business Card size setting (90 × 60 mm), and then place the
business card face down at the centre of glass platen.
When scanning photographs or other images for use in a word processor or other graphics
application, you should try different settings for the contrast, mode and resolution to see which
settings best suit your needs.
Custom:
If you selected Custom as the size, type the Width and Length.
Or, you can check the Business Card Size box to adjust the scanning area to business card or a
custom size automatically.
