    B&W Gray Color 4.2.2 OTHER IMAGE OPTIONS Binarization This is the process of converting a grayscale or color image to a bi-tonal image. There are several different methods of performing this conversion. Two of the options are Dynamic Threshold and Fixed Processing.
  • Page 31 Fixed Processing: Used for black-and- white and other high contrast documents. A single level is set to determine the black- and-white transition. The threshold is programmable over the entire density range. Fixed Processing sets Contrast to 0. If Fixed Processing is selected, Contrast is not available.
  • Page 32 Threshold Used to convert a grayscale image to a bi-tonal image. The value ranges from 0 to 255. A low threshold value produces a lighter image, and can be used to subdue backgrounds and subtle, unneeded information. A high threshold value produces a darker image, and can be used to help pick up faint images.
  • Page 33 Adjusts the lightness or darkness of an image. Brightness The higher the value, the brighter the image. Drag the slider to the right or left to increase or decrease the brightness. The range is from –100 to +100. Adjusts the range between the darkest and Contrast the lightest shades in the image.
  • Page 34 Resolution A good control of the resolution results a good detail of an image that scans. The resolution is measured by dots per inch (dpi). Normally, the greater the dpi number, the higher the resolution and the image file size. Be aware that greater resolution takes more time to scan, and more disk space for the scanning image.
  • Page 35 Resolution: 75 dpi Resolution: 150 dpi Invert Reverses the brightness and the colors in the image. The default setting is Black on a White background. Reverse mode is White on a Black background. For color images, each pixel will be changed into its complementary color at the command of Invert.
  • Page 36 Scan Choice: Source Auto Document Feeder: Used to scan multiple pages. Flatbed: Used to scan a single page. For example, pages from newspaper clipping, paper with wrinkles or curls. Flatbed (book): Used to scan several inside pages from book. Automatic: Allow the scanner automatically set its scan source.
