- Scan grayscale images also in grey. After adjustment, where appropriate, the brightness and contrast.
- Scan Text with 300 to 400 DPI. A lower resolution will deteriorate subsequent text recognition, a higher resolution leads to very large image files.
- For Text best GIF, TIF, PNG, and PDF are file formats. Here, the color of each Pixel can be encoded with only one Bit. So the files remain even in the case of high-resolution small.
- BMP files are not optimal, because the file size is very high. JPG is for Text to be unsuitable, because the lossy compression will soften the contrasts of the font, and a later text recognition more difficult.
- If the Scanner Auto-dominated Cropping, enable this function. Then the Scanner will crop the scan area automatically, so that only the book's pages are scanned.
- If you place value on, and a lot of time and patience, you can scanned the thumb and the side edges with image editing software, such as Paint.NET or Gimp having to retouch.
