 The
-.I \-\-dropout
+.B \-\-dropout
 switch selects the so called dropout color. Valid options are None,
 Red, Green and Blue. The default is None. The dropout color is used for
 monochrome scanning and selects the color that is not scanned. This can
 be used to e.g. scan an original with a colored background.
 
 The
-.I \-\-brightness
+.B \-\-brightness
 switch controls the brightness of the scan. Valid options are integer
 values from \-3 to 3. The default is 0. The larger the brightness value,
 the brighter the image gets. If a user defined table for the gamma
 correction is selected, the brightness parameter is not available.
 
 The
-.I \-\-sharpness
+.B \-\-sharpness
 switch sets the sharpness of the image data. Valid options are integer
 values from \-2 to 2, with \-2 meaning "Defocus", \-1 "Defocus slightly",
 0 "Normal", 1 "Sharpen slightly" and 2 "Sharpen".
 
 The
-.I \-\-gamma\-correction
+.B \-\-gamma\-correction
 switch controls the scanner's internal gamma correction. Valid options are
 "Default", "User defined", "High density printing" "Low density printing"
 and "High contrast printing".
 
 The
-.I \-\-color\-correction
+.B \-\-color\-correction
 switch controls the scanner's internal color correction function. Valid
 options are "No Correction", "Impact\-dot printers", "Thermal printers",
 "Ink\-jet printers" and "CRT monitors". The default is "CRT monitors".

-.I \-\-resolution
+.B \-\-resolution

 The
-.I \-\-mirror
+.B \-\-mirror
 option controls the way the image is scanned. By reading the image data
 from right to left the image is mirrored. Valid options are "yes" and
 "no". The default is "no".
 
 The
-.I \-\-speed
+.B \-\-speed
 option can improve the scan speed in monochrome mode. Valid options are
 "yes" or "no", the "yes" option will speed up the scan if this option
 is supported.
 
 The
-.I \-\-auto\-area\-segmentation
+.B \-\-auto\-area\-segmentation
 switch activates the automatic area segmentation for monochrome scans. The
 scanner will try to determine which areas are text and which contain
 images. The image areas will be halftoned, and the text will be
 improved. Valid options are "yes" and "no". The default is "yes".
 
 The
-.I \-\-gamma\-table
+.B \-\-gamma\-table
 parameter can be used to download a user defined gamma table. The option
 takes 256 values from the range 0-255. In color mode this option equally
 affects the red, green, and blue channel.
 
 The
-.I \-\-red\-gamma\-table
+.B \-\-red\-gamma\-table
 parameter can be used to download a user defined gamma table for the
 red channel. The valid options are the same as for \-\-gamma\-table.
 
 The
-.I \-\-green\-gamma\-table
+.B \-\-green\-gamma\-table
 parameter can be used to download a user defined gamma table for the
 green channel. The valid options are the same as for \-\-gamma\-table.
 
 The
-.I \-\-blue\-gamma\-table
+.B \-\-blue\-gamma\-table
 parameter can be used to download a user defined gamma table for the
 blue channel. The valid options are the same as for \-\-gamma\-table.

+.B \-\-cct\-1 \-\-cct\-2 \-\-cct\-3 ... \-\-cct\-9

 correction. Values are specified as integers in the range \-127..127.
 
 The
-.I \-\-preview
+.B \-\-preview
 option requests a preview scan. The frontend software automatically selects a low
 resolution. Valid options are "yes" and "no". The default is "no".
 
 The
-.I \-\-preview\-speed
+.B \-\-preview\-speed
 options will increase the scan speed if this is supported by the
 scanner. Valid options are "yes" and "no", the default is "no".
