AutoCrop—Select this option to automatically fit the page size to 
the size of the scanned image. The result is that the scanned image 
fills the entire page. When scanning with this option selected, you 
can put the item anywhere on the glass. The scanner makes two 
passes over the item on the glass—the first pass senses the item’s size, 
and the second pass scans the image and crops the page size to 
match the image size. This option overrides the Page Size menu 
selection.

DeScreen—Select this option when scanning a newspaper or 
magazine article, or other item that contains images with patterns 
or dots. Scans of patterns or dots sometimes have a distorted or 
wavy appearance. The scanner scans the item to compensate for the 
patterns and dots, and produces a clearer image. The scanning may 
slow down a bit when this option is selected. You don’t need to 
select this option when scanning photographs.

Gamma—Drag the slider to adjust the range of tones to emphasize 
in an image. Typically used for an image that is dark or that has 
darker areas, increasing the gamma brings out details in the 
shadows or dark areas. Decreasing the gamma produces better 
image quality in the lighter, highlighted areas of the scanned image.

5. Click OK.

The Preferences dialog box reappears. 

6. Click OK on the Preferences dialog box. 

The adjusted settings now apply to the button.

NOTE: If you select the Copy/Print or Fax button, the dialog box 
for editing and adjusting the settings will have a Device tab for 
selecting options for a printer or copier. See the Help for more 
information.
