    Resolution and Scan Type will be altered for each default setting.
    The default settings are:
    Resolution
    You can change the scanning resolution from the Resolution drop 
    down list. Higher resolutions take more memory and transfer time, 
    but can achieve a finer scanned image. The following table shows 
    the resolution you can choose and the available colors.

    Scan Type
    Brightness
    Adjust this settings (-50 to 50) to obtain the best image. The default 
    value is 0, representing an ‘average’.
    You can set the level by dragging the slide bar to the right or left to 
    lighten or darken the image. You can also type a value in the box for 
    the setting.
    If the scanned image is too light, set a lower brightness value and 
    scan the document again. If the image is too dark, set a higher 
    brightness value and scan the document again. 
    Contrast
    This setting is adjustable only when you have selected one of the 
    gray scale settings. It is not available when Black & White and Color 
    settings are selected as the Scan Type.
    You can increase or decrease the contrast level by moving the slide 
    bar to the left or right. An increase emphasizes dark and light areas 
    of the Image, while a decrease reveals more detail in gray areas. You 
    can also type a value in the box for the setting.
    Black & White: Set the Scan Type to Black & White for text or line art.
    Gray Scale: Set the Scan Type to Gray or True Gray for 
    photographic images.
    Colors: Set either:
    256 Color, which scans up to 256 colors, or 24-bit 
    color which scans up to 16.8 million colors.
    Although using 24-bit color creates an image with 
    the most accurate colors, the image file will be 
    approximately three times larger than a file 
    created with 256 Color.
