Explanation
The Sharpness property sets the level of sharpness.
Sharpness is enabled for certain Canon DR, Epson, Panasonic, and Fujitsu PFU scan drivers.
When an Epson scanner is used, the datasource will be "Epson Scan" which will allow the above settings. Some Epson scanners, depending on the version, allow for only "on / off" settings. In this case the ImageKit will accept values of 0 or nonzero.
Epson scanners use the term "unsharp mask". Canon scanners used "Edge enhancement". Panasonic scanners use "image quality". PFU scanners use "outline enhancement".
This property is enabled when the UserInterface is Suppress. The possible setting values supported by a scan device can be retrieved using the GetCapabilityEnumToSingle method.
