Do not adjust any image settings
All scanned and imported images must be in black and white at 300 dpi.

 

The standard scan settings should only changed to import a file instead of scanning, or to scan from the flat bed instead of the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF)scan feeder that allows multiple letter sized documents to be scanned at once.
