Brightness:

The brightness adjustment has a setting range of (-50 to 50) to obtain the best image results.
The default value is 0, representing an “average” setting. The Brightness setting is adjustable
only when you scan in monochrome mode.

You can set the brightness level by dragging the slide bar to the right to lighten the image
or to the left to darken the image. Instead of using the slide bar, you can also type a value
in the box to set the Brightness.

If the scanned image is too light, set a lower brightness value and scan the document again.
If the image is too dark, set a higher brightness value and scan the document again.


Contrast:

The contrast adjustment has a setting range of (-50 to 50) to obtain the best image results.
The default value is 0, representing an “average” setting. 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 Scan Type.

Increasing the contrast level (by dragging the slide bar to the right) emphasizes dark and
light areas of the image, while decreasing the contrast level (by dragging the slide bar to
the left) reveals more detail in gray areas. Instead of using the slide bar, you can also type
a value in the box to set the contrast.
