text is emphasized for better readability.
[Advanced Text Enhancement II] is suitable for scanning a document with 
a uniform background color and light text and background. If the 
background is non-uniform, such as a pattern, the background may not be 
able to be completely removed and the text may become difficult to read. If 
necessary, you can make the text in scanned images easier to read by 
adjusting the contrast on the [Brightness] tab.
 [Apply corrections suitable for photographs] is suited to finer 
outputs than black and white shading. Disabling the checkbox 
will output character data an d image backgrounds that are 
closer to black as black, and those closer to white as white.
 Depending on your environment, the tones of the scanned 
images and the tones of the images displayed on the monitor 
may differ. See the User Manual enclosed with the monitor for 
the monitor settings to use.
