Density (Contrast)

You can adjust the density at which the originals are scanned.

The text and diagrams on originals should stand out clearly from the paper they are on.

If the original has a darker background than normal (for example, a newspaper clipping), or if the writing is faint, adjust the density.

Auto Density

The appropriate density setting for the original is automatically selected.

  1. Make sure that [Auto Density] is selected.
