Chapter V. The Scanner Software
Setup button actually opens the settings window
for the fax software you have selected.
• PAPER SIZE is a box just below the Select Fax
Software box and lists all possible paper sizes for
your scanner. The size you set here defines the
area to be scanned. Choosing a different paper
size for faxing must be done by clicking on the
Setup Fax button. If possible, make sure the
scanner paper size and the fax paper size is the
same.
• BRIGHTNESS is used to lighten or darken the
output. Lower the brightness to improve the
readability of light or handwritten text. Raise the
brightness to bring out the darker areas in
pictures.
• SCAN MODE consists of two buttons - B/W
Photo and Text. It is very important that you
always choose the appropriate scan mode for the
type of document you are scanning and faxing.
Choose B/W Photo Mode if the document you
wish to scan and fax contains both text and
pictures.
B/W Photo Mode - The black and
white photo mode scans images in black
and white and can simulate 256
different shades of gray to give the
resulting black and white images
shadow and depth. This mode is best
used when faxing black and white
photos or images. Using this mode to
scan black and white or even color
images, will result in high-quality black
and white output (the color will
automatically be converted to gray).
Text Mode - Text mode is
preferable when scanning and printing
text documents.
• MULTI-PAGE button allows you to send faxes
containing more than one scanned page. To use
this, simply click on the multi-page button so it
appears depressed, then proceed with the scanning
