We strongly suggest that you first become familiar with scanning and using the Control Panel before attempting to use any of the following features. Once you become comfortable with how our scanner works, and how to create clear images, you can begin experimenting with the advance features of the TWAIN dialog box. File Menu Item There are 5 choices located under the File menu item. Please read through the following descriptions to learn how to use the file menu options. If you have any further questions about any of the items located inside the file menu, click on Help located inside the TWAIN dialog box to see more information. Save Settings is for saving changes that you make within the TWAIN dialog box. For example, if you change the resolution, brightness or any other attributes, save the changes by choosing Save Settings. Save Settings As lets you create a unique name for your changes. As an example: You can set various resolutions and scan 22 Chapter IV modes and save them as a custom name (i. e. , 75-dpi color 200 scale). Load Default reinstates the factory setting of TWAIN. The factory default is set to RGB and 50 DPI and 50% for brightness and contrast. Note: You can not make changes to the Default settings file. Settings Files allows you to change the names, or delete settings that you set up and define. Note: Once you change, or delete a setting, you can not recover it, so please be cautious! Filters Menu Item You have 7 filter choices located under the Filters menu item. The filters will help you improve your scans by allowing you to sharpen images and remove excessive dots and distortion. Please read through the following explanations and examples to learn how to properly use filtration. In many cases you might find that experimentation is an excellent way of determining which filter will work. Average determines the medium depth of an image, and averages adjacent pixels to make images appear softer. Blur lets you dull the edges within an image, and decreases the contrast by making dark edges lighter and light edges darker. Sharpen allows you to sharpen the edges within an image by making the edges in an image more distinct. The Sharpen filter also increases contrast by making dark edges darker and surrounding light edges lighter. Sharpen More: see Sharpen. 23 Chapter IV Descreen applies filtering to images that contain moiré patterns (or herringbone).
