× 300 dpi, 400 × 400 dpi or 600 × 600 dpi.

You can set the Brightness level by dragging the slide bar to the right or left to lighten or darken the image.
You can also enter a value in the box to set the level.
If the scanned image is too light, set a lower Brightness level and scan the document again. If the image is
too dark, set a higher Brightness level and scan the document again.
Note
The Brightness setting is only available when Black & White, Gray (Error Diffusion) or True Gray is
chosen.
Contrast
You can increase or decrease the Contrast level by moving the slide bar to the left or right. An increase
emphasizes dark and light areas of the image, while a decrease reveals more detail in gray areas. You can
also enter a value in the box to set the Contrast.

The Contrast setting is only available when Gray (Error Diffusion) or True Gray is chosen.
When scanning photographs or other images for use in a word processor or other graphics application, try
