Using the Brightness and Contrast Control
This Reference Guide provides information and procedures for the
Brightness and Contrast Control.
Kodak provides a set of default color tables with the scanner. These
tables are bundled and installed with the Scan Validation Tool (SVT).
A color table is a file that can be downloaded to the scanner which
contains the information required for the scanner to output the desired
representation of your color document.
If the default color tables do not meet your specific needs, this tool may
be used to create your own custom color table.
This custom color table
can then be downloaded to the scanner and used in production.
The color table to be used for front and rear images are set
independently. When scanning, only one color table can be applied to
each image (front or back). You can use the same color table for both
the front and the back, or use one color table for the front and one color
table for the back.
Use the Scan Validation Tool or your own application to download a
color table to the scanner.

IMPORTANT:
• The Brightness and Contrast Control is not color management
software. The output from the Brightness and Contrast Control
cannot be used to modify monitors or printers. It is only intended to
modify the color image as produced by the scanner.
• Images created using a custom color table created using a specific
monitor may appear differently when viewed or printed on other
monitors or printers.
• Images used in this Reference Guide are for concept purposes only
and do not represent the expected image quality.
• Creation, use and management of any custom color table is your
responsibility. Kodak provides no support beyond verifying scanner
functionality using Kodak default color tables.
