Setting Description
Brightness Adjusts the overall image lightness and darkness. This setting is
available only when the Image Type is set to Color or Grayscale.
Contrast Adjusts the difference between the light and dark areas of the overall
image. This setting is available only when the Image Type is set to
Color or Grayscale.
Unsharp Mask Turn on to make the edges of image areas clearer for an overall
sharper image. Turn off to leave softer edges. This setting is available

Type is set to Color or Grayscale. The results of descreening do not
appear in the preview, only in your scanned image.
