Configuring the Scanner

Note: If you click 

 or 

, the dialog box for editing and adjusting the set-

tings will have a Device tab for selecting options for a printer or copier. See the Help
menu for more information.

Selecting the proper scan setting before final scanning provides the best results. The
scan setting determines the sharpness of the object and the number of possible
shades of gray or color. Scan settings also affect the speed of the scan and the file
size.
