Default Content Tell the printer the original document type. Choose from Text, Mixed, or Photo. Content affects the
quality and size of your scanned file.
Text—Emphasizes sharp, black, high-resolution text against a clean, white background. Use Text
mode when text preservation is the main goal of the scan, and preserving images copied from the
original document is not a concern. Text mode is recommended for receipts, carbon copy forms,
and documents that contain only text or fine line art.
Mixed—Used when the original documents are a mixture of text and graphics or pictures. Mixed
mode is recommended for magazine articles, business graphics, and brochures.
Photo—Tells the scanner to pay extra attention to graphics and pictures. This setting increases the
time it takes to scan, but emphasizes a reproduction of the full dynamic range of tones in the original
document. This increases the amount of information saved. Use Photo mode when scanning photos
printed on a laser printer or taken from a magazine or newspaper.
Darkness Adjust how light or dark your scanned documents will turn out in relation to the original document.
Color Tell the printer the color of the original documents. You can select Gray, BW (Black and White), or Color.
Resolution Adjust the output quality of your file. Increasing the image resolution increases the file size and the time
needed to scan your original document. Image resolution can be decreased to reduce the file size.
