Settings in the Scanner Window
Image
Resolution
Choose the scanning resolution from the Resolution pop-up menu. Higher 
resolutions take more memory and transfer time, but can achieve a finer scanned 
image. (Each model has different resolutions. See Specification.) 
Color Type
Black & White—Set the image Type to Black&White for text or line art. For 
photographic images, set the image type to Gray (Error diffusion) or True Gray.
Gray (Error Diffusion)—is used for documents that contain photographic 
images or graphics. (Error Diffusion is a method for creating simulated gray 
images by placing black dots in a specific matrix instead of true gray dots.)
True Gray—also is used for documents containing photographic images or 
graphics. This mode is more exact because it uses up to 256 shades of gray. It 
requires the most memory and longest transfer time.
Colors—Choose either 256 Color, which scans up to 256 colors, 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.

Adjust Image
Brightness
Adjust the brightness settings to obtain the best image. The Brother TWAIN 
Scanner driver offers 100 brightness settings (-50 to 50). The default value is 0, 
representing an “average” setting.
You can set the Brightness level by dragging the slidebar to the right to lighten 
the image or to the left to darken the image. You can also type a value in the box 
to set the setting. Click OK.
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
The Contrast setting is adjustable only when you have selected one of the gray 
scale settings, but it is not available when Black & White is selected as the Gray 
Scale.
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 gray areas. Instead of 
using the slidebar, you can type a value in the box to set the Contrast. Click OK.
Color Sync Dialog 
						

							USING THE BROTHER MFC WITH A NEW POWER MACINTOSH® G3, G4 OR IMAC™/IBOOK™   17 - 12
Perceptual Matching—All the colors of a given gamut are scaled proportionally 
to fit within another gamut. This intent pretty much maintain the balance 
between the colors in the image. This intent is the best choice for realistic 
images, such as scanned photographs.
Saturation Matching—The relative saturation of colors is maintained from 
gamut to gamut. So basically the colors are shifted to the edge of the gamut to 
get the most saturated color possible. Rendering the image using this intent 
gives the strongest colors and is the best choice for bar graphs and pie charts, in 
which the actual color displayed is less important than its vividness.
Relative Colorimetric Matching—The colors that fall within the gamuts of both 
devices are left unchanged. Some colors in both images will be exactly the same, 
a useful outcome when colors must match quantitatively. What that means is 
that if the color is inside the gamut, it will stay the same color. However, if the 
color is outside the gamut, it will be mapped to the edge of the gamut. This intent 
is best suited for logos or “spot colors” where color must match.
Absolute Colorimetric Matching—A close appearance match may be achieved 
over most of the tonal range, but if the minimum density of the idealized image 
is different from that of the output image, the areas of the image that are left 
blank will be different. Colors that fall within the gamuts of both devices are left 
unchanged.
