tings will have a Device tab for selecting options for a printer or copier. See the Help

PRE-DEFINING SCAN SETTINGS
Selecting the proper scan setting before final scanning provides the best results. The
scan setting determines the sharpness of the object and the number of possible
shades of gray or color. Scan settings also affect the speed of the scan and the file
size.
The following table shows the pre-defined scan settings you can use.
