Determining your resolution A good control of the resolution results a satisfactory detail of an image that scans. The resolution is measured by dots per inch(dpi).
Tips: 1. For your information, an A4 size color image scanned at 300 dpi at True Color mode consumes approximately 25 MB of disk space. A higher resolution (usually means over 600 dpi) is recommended only when you need to scan a small area at True Color mode. 2. You can also refer to the following table to choose a proper resolution while applying your image to other application.
Selecting a proper image type Select image type through the mode from the scanner user interface for your own purpose. Each image type is described as follows: Line art(Black and White) LineArt presents the image in black and white only and there are no intermediate shades of gray in between. That means each pixel of the image is 100% black or 100% white. LineArt is the best choice of image type if you want to scan text, pen or ink drawing.
8-Bit Gray A single-channel image consists of at least 256 shades of gray. An 8-bit scanner produces a grayscale image with 1024 shades of gray between pure black and pure white. Choose this option if you are scanning black-and-white photographs. With 8 bits of color information per pixel, the file size of an image is eight times larger than 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. Choose 24-Bit Color if you are scanning color photos.
Enhancing your image Brightness: Adjusts the lightness or darkness of an image. The higher the value, the brighter the image. Increase your Brightness Contrast Adjusts the range between the darkest and the lightest shades in the image. The higher the contrast, the bigger the different gray scales.
Invert Image The invert command reverses the brightness and the color in the image. For color images, each pixel will be changed into its complementary color at the command of Invert.
Mirror Click on the Mirror button to reverse the image (create a mirror image). Mirror function is off Mirror function is on Preview Auto-Area: Clicking on the Preview Auto-Area button automatically crops the preview scan area to the previewed document.
