Software Guide (Scanning)

You can adjust the following settings on the [Settings] tab.

[Filter processing]

¡¡

[Descreen]

Click [Descreen] when scanning printed photographs and pictures. This setting is not selected

immediately after installation.

Printed photographs and pictures are displayed as a collection of ﬁne dots. If you scan without moire

reduction, the dots may interfere with each other and cause an unevenness of gradation and a

striped pattern in the image. Moire reduction is the function for reducing this moire effect.

If you select [Magazine] in [Type of original] in Simple Mode, the [Descreen] of Advanced Mode will

be automatically activated.

You cannot select [Descreen] if [Black and White] or [Text Enhanced] is selected in [Color Mode] on

the [Main] tab, or if [Output Resolution] is greater than [600] dpi.

Even if [Descreen] is selected, some moire effect may remain if [Unsharp Mask] is also selected. In

this case, disable [Unsharp Mask].

More reduction cannot be set when scanning from an application which will not display the

ScanGear MP dialog box. If you are scanning from the MP Toolbox without using ScanGear MP,

select [Color (Magazine)] in [Scan mode] to activate moire reduction.

¡¡

[Unsharp mask]

Click to emphasize and make sharper the outline of an image. This setting is selected immediately

after installation. It is effective for scanning photos etc. which have a soft focus.

[Reduce Dust and Scratches]

and scratches on photos. Select from [Soft], [Normal] and [Hard].
