Contrast

The contrast setting is adjustable only when you have selected one of the grey scale or colour
settings, but it is not available when Black & White is selected as the Colour Type.

Increasing the contrast level (by dragging the slidebar to the right) emphasizes dark and light areas
of the Image, while decreasing the contrast level (by dragging the slidebar to the left) reveals more
detail in grey areas. Instead of using the slidebar, you can type a value in the box to set the contrast.
Click OK.

PreScanning an Image

PreScanning allows you to scan an image quickly at a low resolution. A thumbnail version will
appear in the Scanning Area. This is only a preview of the image, so you can see how it will look.
The PreScan button is used to preview an image for cropping any unwanted portions from the
image. When you are satisfied with the preview, click Start to scan the image.
