The scale can also depend on what resolution you have your display set at, and the scan resolution. Brightness and Contrast Brightnessis the amount of light that is concentrated onto a document while it is being scanned. Adjust the brightness by sliding the button located between the arrows either left or right. Turn the brightness down if characters are thick and dark, and up if characters are thin.
