Auto sea and Auto gain settings i.e. Minimum, Default, Maximum:
If necessary, the factory presets can be adjusted (0 to 255) to expand
or limit the effect of the auto function. After the adjustment, the
new values will be the new AUTO settings. Preset parameters can
only be adjusted from X-MIT mode after the scanner type has been
detected for the first time. Each time a new scanner type is recog-

display will show the current value, and the auto function parameters
will take effect when the auto function becomes active after leaving
the input field.
