Introduction This machine allows you to scan from a TWAIN-compliant or plug-in applica- tion. Since the scanner driver is not stand-alone software, it has to be started from a TWAIN-compliant application to be able to scan and load an image to your computer.
TWAIN Driver Settings In the TWAIN driver, the various functions appear as icons. Descriptions of the various functions are provided below. Scan Method You can select how to scan from the Scan Method drop-down list. Flatbed: Use this setting if you are scanning one page at a time using the flatbed glass.
With 8 bits of color information per pixel, the file size of an image is eight times larger than that of a black-and-white image and 1/3 the size of a 24-bit color image. 24-Bit Color A 24-bit color image consists of three 8-bit color channels. The red, green, and blue channels are mixed together to create a combination of one billion colors, which give a more true-to-life quality to the image.
If a resolution higher than 600 dpi was selected, a warning message appears. To automatically set the resolution to 300 dpi and begin scanning, click OK. To begin scanning with the selected resolution, click Cancel. Enhancing the Image Brightness Adjusts the lightness or darkness of an image. The higher the value, the brighter the image.
Preview Auto-Area Automatically crops the scan area of the previewed document. This then becomes the cropping area for all scanned documents until it is changed again.
