  • Photo—For the highest quality photos, and for documents with vibrant graphics.
  • Normal—For most text-only copy jobs. This is the default copy quality setting.

Descreen

Remove wavy patterns from magazines or newspapers. Many types of printed media are created using a screen printing process. Screen printing results in documents that are made up of many small dots that, when viewed from a distance, form the contents of the document. This screen printing pattern of dots is often exaggerated by scanning. The result is typically noticeable as a geometrical pattern appearing in what should be solid colors. Descreening helps remove the screen printing pattern of dots. Choose from Photo, Text, Art Print, Magazine, Newspaper, or None.

Adjustments tab

Brightness

Adjust the lightness or darkness of the scan.

Contrast

Adjust the detailing and tone of the image as it is set off against a light or dark background. Increasing contrast makes light colors lighter and dark colors darker.

Gamma

Increase or decrease the color correction curve. Decreasing the gamma causes more ink to be placed on the page, and darkens the printed document. Increasing the gamma causes less ink to be placed on the page, and lightens the printed document.

Blur/Sharpen

Adjust the level of sharpness of the scanned image.

Fine Tune Rotation

Tilt the image 10 degrees to the left or to the right using the Tolerance bar.

Invert Colors

Reverse the colors of the image by inverting the RGB data. The effect created is similar to that of a film negative.

Mirror

Produce a mirror image of the document.

Orientation

Shift between Portrait and Landscape orientation by clicking the icons.

Defaults

Reset the Adjustment controls to the factory default settings.

Finishing tab

Resize

Borderless Printing Option

  • Select Automatic to enable the Lexmark All-In-One Center to do borderless copying depending on the paper settings.
  • Select Off to disable borderless copy and print functions.
