Do not write on the Receipt Carrier Sheet, as the writing may be seen in a scanned receipt. If the Receipt  
Carrier Sheet becomes dirty, wipe it with a dry cloth.  
Do not leave any receipt in the Receipt Carrier Sheet for extended periods of time, as the printing on the  
receipt may bleed-through onto the Receipt Carrier Sheet.

True Gray  
Use for photographic images or graphics. This mode is more exact due to using up to 256 shades of

256 Color  
Use for simple color illustrations that do not use the full color spectrum. Uses up to 256 colors to create  
images.  
24bit Color  
Uses up to 16.8 million colors to scan the image. Although using 24bit Color creates an image with the  
most accurate color reproduction, it requires the most memory and has the longest transfer time.  
NOTE

256 Color is only available when your scanning application supports this setting. Presto! PageManager  
does not support 256 Color.

Brightness  
Adjust the setting (-50 to 50) to get the best image. The default value of 0 represents an average and  
is usually suitable for most images. You can set the Brightness level by dragging the slider to the right  
or left to lighten or darken the image. You can also enter a value in the box to set the level. If the  
scanned image is too light, set a lower Brightness level and scan the document again. If the image is  
too dark, set a higher Brightness level and scan the document again.  
NOTE  
The Brightness setting is only available when setting Scan Type to Black & White,  
Gray (Error Diffusion), True Gray or 24bit Color.  
Contrast  
Adjust the setting (-50 to 50) to get the best image. The default value of 0 represents an average and  
is usually suitable for most images. You can increase or decrease the contrast level by moving the slider  
to the right or left. An increase emphasizes dark and light areas of the image, while a decrease reveals  
more details in gray areas. You can also enter a value in the box to set the Contrast.  
NOTE  
The Contrast setting is only available when setting Scan Type to Gray (Error Diffusion), True Gray or

pattern to give a gray appearance.)  
True Gray  
Use for photographic images or graphics. This mode is  
more exact due to using up to 256 shades of gray.  
24bit Color  
Uses up to 16.8 million colors to scan the image. Although  
using 24bit Color creates an image with the most  
accurate color reproduction, it requires the most memory  
and has the longest transfer time.  
Auto  
Uses suitable colors for your document automatically.  
Document Size  
Document size is set to Auto by default. You can scan  
documents of any size without making any adjustments to
