[. . . ] When AutoCrop is selected, the scanner makes two passes--the first pass senses the item's size, and the second pass scans the image. This option overrides the Page Size menu selection. DeScreen--Select this option when scanning a picture from a newspaper or magazine article, or other item that contains images with patterns or dots. Scans of patterns or dots sometimes have a distorted or wavy appearance. The scanner scans the item to compensate for the patterns and dots, and produces a clearer image. The scanning may slow down a bit when this option is selected. You don't need to select this option when scanning photographs. The DeScreen setting does not apply to the Black/White mode. 25 VISIONEER ONETOUCH 8900 SCANNER INSTALLATION GUIDE Gamma--Drag the slider to improve how the colors in a scanned image look on your monitor. Gamma correction allows you to achieve precise color matching.
