Color Dropout
Color dropout tells the scanner and software to remove a specific color from the image. You can choose 
either 
Red, Green, or Blue, or define a custom color, to be dropped out of an image. 
To input a custom color using its RGB value, select 
Custom in this list and then input the values for R, G, 
and B in their appropriate boxes, where R, G, and B are numbers from 0 to 255. 
To l e r a n c e—use the slider to adjust the precision of the color dropout. 
•
More precise—this option removes a range of colors closest to the pure color selected or defined in 
the custom fields. For example, pure red has an R/G/B value of 255/0/0. Selecting Red indicates 
that the scanner should look for a range of RGB reds close to pure red and remove them from the 
image. 
•
More approximate—this option removes a wider range of colors based on the pure color selected in 
the list or defined in the custom fields.
This option is only available when scanning in grayscale or black and white. The example below shows 
the original text with a red watermark and the resulting image with the color removed.
Perform Color Correction
Apply color correction to the image so the displayed colors approximate the original item colors. Select 
this option to use the scanner’s default Gamma table which has been calibrated to produce the best 
quality color results for your scanner. When this option is not selected, the resulting scans will be dark 
and the brightness, contrast, and gamma options will require a greater amount of adjustment to affect 
the overall lightness of the image.

Advanced Panel Options
The options in this panel may also appear in the Main panel, but with additional settings for you to 
fine-tune the feature you've selected. Select the 
Advanced source configuration mode to show this 
panel.
Despeckle
This option removes speckles from the background. Speckles are small spots on an image that the 
scanner interpreted as a valid part of the document. For example, an irregularity in the paper, a small 
wrinkle, or holes where a staple was removed may show up as speckles in the scanned image. The 
Despeckle option identifies these spots and removes them. This option is only available when scanning 
in black and white. 
Radius—this is the size of the area that is evaluated for stray dots. 
Number—this is the maximum number of dots within the radius that should be considered a speckle. If 
this number of dots are in the circle, the dots will not be considered a speckle and remain in the image. 
If there are less than this number of dots in the circle, the dots are considered a speckle and removed 
from the image.
For example, if the radius is 3 and the number is 5, then the document is evaluated in sections of 3x3 
pixels and if there are more than 5 stray dots within a 3x3 area, they are not considered a speckle.
Filter
Use the Filter option to increase or decrease the sharpness in the scanned image. Click the drop down 
menu and select an option from the list. Use the 
Mask slider to adjust the tolerance level of the filter.

Moiré Reduction
Moiré patterns are wavy or rippled lines that may appear in the scanned images of newspapers and 
magazines, and sometimes scanned images of photos, line drawings, and color scans of textured 
paper. Select the 
Moiré reduction option to have the driver attempt to find and remove moiré patterns 
from the image. Please note that when Moiré reduction is enabled the scanner may scan slower as the 
image is checked for moiré patterns. This option is only available when scanning in 
Color or Gray.
Moiré radius—you can set the size of the area to be evaluated in the Moiré radius field. Adjusting the 
radius will produce different results for the various types of items that can be scanned. With this 
feature, you may have to test scan a few times, adjusting the Moiré radius as needed, until you obtain 
the best results for the type of paper in your scan job. Note that the higher the number is in the Moiré 
radius field, the longer it will take the driver to evaluate the image.
White Level
With this option you can set what the scanner should interpret as “white” in the final image, even 
though the page being scanned may have a shaded or off-white background. You may want to adjust 
this option to have the image automatically corrected when you are scanning irregular paper, such as 
thick or thin paper, that may cause the white page in the final image to appear shaded with a pale 
grey. This option is only available when scanning in Color or Gray.
For the best automatic results you can simply select the type of paper you are scanning from the list.  
Alternatively, you can input a number in the Custom value field. The value you set in this field can be 
from 128 to 255. If you set the custom value to 128 you are telling the scanner that all pixels that are 
grey level 128 or higher (lighter) should be changed to white in the final image. If you set the custom 
value to 255, you are telling the scanner that only pure white is white and anything lower than 255 
should remain unchanged in the final image.
Black Level
With this option you can set what the scanner should interpret as “black” in the final image. If you are 
scanning items that have notes written with a pencil, you may want to raise the black level to have the 
pencil notes appear black in the image.  You can set a value for black from 0 to 127.  If you set this 
value to 127, you are telling the scanner that all pixels that are grey level 127 or lower (darker) should 
appear as black in the final image. This option is only available when scanning in Color or Gray.

Driver Configuration
Use the Driver configuration section to configure the add-on modules, select interface options, and view 
the scanner hardware properties. When the 
Advanced configuration mode is selected, a scanner panel 
option will be available for you to change any hardware settings that may be available for your 
scanner.
Disabled Options in this Section
Some options in the interface may be grayed out and cannot be selected. Grayed out options are either 
not appropriate for the current scanner, the software needed to enable the feature is not installed, 
or 
the feature is dependent on another setting in the scanner's interface. Hover the mouse cursor over a 
grayed out feature to see information about why the feature is unavailable.
Module Configuration
When image processing modules are installed they will appear in the list on the Configure tab. Use this 
tab to enable the modules you want to use when scanning. 
There are some features in the scanner interface that are disabled until a module is installed that 
contains those options. When the module is installed, the features will enable in the scanner interface 
for you to use them. 
Reordering the Modules
Select a module in the list and click the up or down arrow to change the order of the module in the list. 
Changing the order of the modules changes the order in which the image processing options are used. 
For example, if there are two modules installed and both modules include an automatic image rotation 
option, the first module's rotate option is used and the rotate setting in the second module is ignored 
so that the image is not rotated twice.
