Scan Source
The Scan Source setting is used to select the type of
document you will be scanning.
• Reflective
Use Reflective when scanning paper-
based documents such as photographs
or text.
With the optional Transparency Adapter, you can also scan
Positive and Negative transparencies.
•
Positive
Select Positive when scanning slides or transparencies.
•
Negative
Select Negative when scanning film negatives or
similar negative transparencies.
Scan Size
From the list of available sizes, select the size of the
document you wish to scan. Custom will automatically
be selected when you use the Crop Frame to change the
image area to be scanned.
Resolution
The Resolution, which is measured in dots per inch (dpi),
determines the appearance of the image as it is displayed
or printed. Images scanned at a higher resolution capture
more information and therefore require more disk space
for storage. You can select from a wide range of preset
resolutions.
Descreen
A tool for reducing moiré patterns in
scanned images of originals that were
created by a halftone process. Moiré
patterns appear as unpleasant
interference patterns.
•
None
Choose None if you want to scan images of
photographic quality.
•
Newspaper
Choose Newspaper when the image is made up of
coarse dot patterns commonly found in newspaper
photos.
