6. With the Scan Settings tab selected, set the scan settings for
the new configuration.
Mode—Select Black/White to scan in black and white. For
example, letters and memos are usually scanned in black and
white. Select Grayscale to scan items such as documents
containing drawings or black and white photographs. The
scanning produces an image in varying shades of gray. Select
Color to scan color photographs and other color items.
Resolution—Drag the slider to the right or left to adjust the
dots per inch (dpi) of the resolution. The maximum resolution is
600 dpi; the minimum is 100 dpi. The higher the dpi setting, the
sharper and clearer the scanned image. However, higher dpi
settings take longer to scan and produce larger files for the
scanned images.
Brightness and Contrast—Drag the sliders to the right or left
to adjust the brightness and contrast of the scanned image.
The Contrast setting does not apply to the Black/White mode.
7. Click the Page Settings tab to set the scan page settings.
Page Size—Click a page size from the drop-down list. The
outlines on the picture represent the various page sizes.
Clicking one of those outlines also selects it as the page size
for the scan. If you select the Custom option from the drop-
down list, boxes appear in place of the picture. Enter the
horizontal and vertical page dimensions in the boxes.
AutoCrop—Select this option to let the scanner automatically
determine the size of the item being scanned. For example, if
you put a photo in the middle of the glass, the scanner will
automatically determine the size of the photo. When AutoCrop
is selected, the scanner makes two passes—the first pass
senses the item's size, and the second pass scans the image.
This option overrides the Page Size menu selection.
DeScreen—Select this option when scanning a picture from a
newspaper or magazine article, or other items that contains
images with patterns or dots. Scans of patterns or dots
sometimes have a distorted or wavy appearance. The scanner
