Contrast
The contrast setting is adjustable only when you have selected one of the gray
scale settings, but it is not available when Black & White is selected as the gray
Scale.
Increasing the contrast level (by dragging the slidebar to the right) emphasizes
dark and light areas of the Image, while decreasing the contrast level (by
dragging the slidebar to the left) ravels more detail in gray areas. Instead of
using the slidebar, you can type a value in the box to set the contrast.

Business Card Size
To scan business cards, select the Business Card (60
× 90 mm.) size setting and
place the business card at the top center of a carrier sheet.
When scanning photographs or other images for use in a word processor or other
graphics application, you should try different settings for the contrast, mode and
resolution to see which settings best suit your needs.
Carrier sheets are available from your Dealer.
