Scan Type
  Select from a range of scan colour depths.
  - Black & White
      Use for text or line art images.
  - Gray (Error Diffusion)
      Use for photographic images or graphics. (Error Diffusion is a method for creating simulated grey images without using true grey dots. Black dots are put in a specific pattern to give a grey appearance.)
  - True Gray
      Use for photographic images or graphics. This mode is more accurate because it uses up to 256 shades of grey.
  - 24bit Color
      Use to create an image with the most accurate colour reproduction. This mode uses up to 16.8 million colours to scan the image, but it requires the most memory and has the longest transfer time.
  - Auto
      Use for any type of document. This mode automatically picks an appropriate colour depth for the document.

  - Brightness
      Set the Brightness level by dragging the slider to the right or left to lighten or darken the image. 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.
  - Contrast
      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 grey areas.
  - Remove Background Color
      Remove the base colour of documents to make the scanned data more recognisable. When you use this function, select from three settings: high, medium, and low.
