Auto Contrast
Automatically adjusts the brightness and hue of the original document to sharpen the
image.
Note • [Auto Contrast] is not available when you use the document feeder.
Manual Contrast
Allows you to select from the five levels between [More] and [Less].
Selecting an upper cell on the bar makes the difference between light and dark areas
greater; light areas become lighter and dark areas darker. In contrast, selecting a lower
cell on the bar makes the difference between light and dark areas smaller.
