this setting makes the image softer and reduce noise in the image.

more visible. The options range from
-50 to 50 . The default is 0.
NOTE: This is only available for Conversion quality: Best and
Conversion quality: Normal.
Threshold — aids in controlling the level at which a pixel is considered
black or white. Decreasing this setting will make the image appear
lighter, and can be used to subdue background noise. Increasing this
setting will make the image appear darker, and can be used to help pick
up light information. This options range from 0 to 255. The default is 90.

Conversion quality: Draft .
Text Enhancement — allows you to configure the scanner to improve
the appearance of text. Turn this option on if your document is mostly

be diminished if Thinning/Thickening is being used.

Filters
• Noise
- ( none )
- Lone Pixel: reduces random noise by converting a single black
pixel to white when it is completely surrounded by white pixels or
by converting a single white pixel to black when it is completely
surrounded by black pixels.
- Majority Rule : sets each pixel based on its surrounding pixels.
The pixel will become white if the majority of the surrounding
pixels are white and vice versa.
- Background : locates and analyzes the background areas of the
image (e.g., non-text areas) and reduces random noise that may
be multiple pixels in size.
• Image
- ( none )
- Halftone Removal : enhances dot matrix text and images with
halftone screens (e.g., newspaper photographs).
Invert Colors — allows you to select how the black pixels will be stored
in the image. By default the black pixels are stored as black and the
white pixels are stored as white. Turn this option on if you want the
black pixels stored as white and the white pixels stored as black.
