(3) Monocolour data will be displayed. When using a colourful bitmat image, the colour threshold can be adjusted
with the threshold bar to display different colours.

(3) The data will adjust the data to be parallel with the line you drew.


 8.6 Adjust the image density in order to draw an outline

Adjust the image density of an image file or scanned file.

(1) The threshold bar adjusts the image density by moving from left to right.

(2) Moving the bar to the left will make the image less dense.

*Make adjustments until the necessary image is displayed

(3) Moving the bar to the right will make the image denser.

*Be careful avoid showing unnecessary dots and pixels.

*Image density may not be able to be adjusted after scanning an image that uses choosing two values or a drawn
image.
*Colourful bitmap images can be read. However, unclear files may not be read effectively.
