This property sets the scan brightness. This property is only enabled when using a custom-built user interface (UserInterface=Suppress).
[Visual Basic] Public WriteOnly Property Brightness As Integer
[C#] public int Brightness {set;}

Property Value

From -1000 to 1000 (default value is 0)

For Fujitsu PFU scan devices, when the PixelType property is Automation, GrayAndBW, or RGBAndBW, the value range for Brightness is from -127 to 127.

Explanation

The Brightness property sets the scan brightness. This property is only enabled when the UserInterface property is Suppress and the AutoBright property is set to false.

Note: There are cases when the PixelType property is BW, and depending on the BitDepthReduction property value the Brightness property has no affect. See below.

The Brightness property is okay

When PixelType = BW and the BitDepthReduction = Threshold (*) or Halftone.

When the PixelType = Gray, RGB, or Palette
(*) This is used with the datasource where the function of the threshold is refered to by brightness (ex. the data source that does not support Threshold)

Note: This property is disabled for digital cameras and scanners that do not support these functions. The possible setting values supported by a scan device can be retrieved using the GetCapabilityEnumToSingle method or the GetCapabilityRange method.
