Settings tab

Copy Type

Select the color for your copy.

  • Color. For all color documents and images.
  • Grayscale. For black and white images.
  • Black. For text-only documents.

Copy Quality

Select the copy quality.

  • Best. For the highest quality photos, and for documents with vibrant graphics.
  • Normal. For most text-only copy jobs. This is the default copy quality setting.
  • Quick Copy - For copying drafts or text-only documents quickly and with reduced quality.

Descreen

Remove wavy patterns from magazines or newspapers. Many types of printed media are created using a screen printing process. Screen printing results in documents that are made up of many small dots that, when viewed from a distance, form the contents of the document. This screen printing pattern of dots is often exaggerated by scanning. The result is typically noticeable as a geometrical pattern appearing in what should be solid colors. Descreening helps remove the screen printing pattern of dots. Choose from Photo, Text, Art Print, Magazine, Newspaper, or None.

Adjustments tab

Brightness

Adjust the lightness or darkness of your scan.

Contrast

Adjust the detailing and tone of the image as it is set off against a light or dark background. Increasing contrast makes light colors lighter and dark colors darker.

Gamma

Increase or decrease the color correction curve. Decreasing the gamma causes more ink to be placed on the page, and darkens your printed document. Increasing gamma causes less ink to be placed on the page, and lightens your printed document.

Blur/Sharpen

Adjust the level of sharpness of the scanned image.

Invert Colors

Reverse the colors of your image by inverting the RGB data. The effect created is similar to that of a film negative.

Mirror

Produce a mirror image of your document.

Rotate

Shift between Portrait and Landscape orientation, and rotate your image incrementally using the up and down arrows.

Defaults

Reset the Adjustment controls to the factory default settings.

Finishing

Zoom

Enlarge or reduce your image. Choose a preset value or enter a desired scale percentage for your image.

Layout

  • Select None for layouts other than Poster and Clone.
  • Select Poster to print a single image on several sheets of paper. Selecting Poster turns on the Print crop marks option that lets you print crop marks on your copy to aid in trimming.
  • Select Clone to print multiple copies of an image on one page. Selecting Clone turns on the Print page borders option that lets you print borders on your copies.

Preview area

See a preview of the image. Some settings in the Copy dialog are interactive so you can view the changes on the image as you adjust the settings. In general, you need to click Preview again in order to apply your settings. Your image is re-scanned, and your recent changes are shown in the preview area.

Auto-crop

Select or clear Auto-crop to turn auto-cropping on or off. Adjust the slider to fine tune auto-cropping.

Width, height, and file size display

See the dimension of your scanned image. Select your preferred unit of measurement from the pop-up menu.
