Scan Type
Black & White: Set the Scan Type to Black & White for text or line art.
Grey Scale: For photographic images, set the Scan Type to Grey (Error Diffusion) or True Grey.
Colours: Choose either 256 Colour, which scans up to 256 colours, 24 Bit colour which scans up to
16.8 million colours. Although using 24 Bit colour creates an image with the most accurate colours,
the image file will be approximately three times larger than a file created with 256 Colour.
Brightness
Adjusting the brightness settings to obtain the best image. The Brother MFC Software Suite offers
100 brightness settings (-50 to 50). The default value is 0, representing an “average” setting.
You can set the brightness level by dragging the slidebar to the right to lighten the image or to the
left to darken the image. You can also type a value in the box to set the settings.
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 setting is adjustable only when you have selected one of the Scan Type settings, but it
is not available when Black & White is selected as the Scan Type.
Increasing the contrast level (by dragging the slidebar to the right) emphasizes dark and light areas
of the Image, while decreasing the contrast level (by dragging the slidebar to the left) reveals more
detail in grey areas. Instead of using the slidebar, you can type a value in the box to set the contrast.
Custom
Size
Set the Size to one of the following:
◆
Letter (8 1/2 x 11 inches)
◆
A4 (210 x 297 mm)
◆
Legal (8 1/2 x 14 inches)
◆
A5 (148 x 210 mm)
◆

◆
Business Card (60 x 90 mm)
◆
Custom (User adjustable from 0.35 x 0.35 inches to 8.5 x 14 inches)
After you select a custom size, you can adjust the scanning area further by using the left mouse
button to drag the dotted outline of the scanning area. This is required when you want to crop an
image when scanning.
Business Card Size
To scan business cards, select the Business Card (60 x 90 mm) size setting and place the business
card at the centre of the scanner glass.
When scanning photographs or other images for use in a word processor or other graphics
application, you should try different settings for the contrast, mode and resolution to see which
settings best suit your needs.
