Image Category
The image category function in ScanWizard Pro applies predefined settings to
your image and brings out characteristics specific to that image type. This is
helpful in providing a more accurate output image.
To select the correct image category, go to the Settings window and choose the
option you wish from the Image Category menu. Select the image category that
corresponds most closely to the image characterstics of your original.
