              -b=<brightness> or --brightness=<brightness> The brightness range varies from device to device.

       ADF mode:
              --adf  (Note,  only  PDF  output  is  supported  when  using the ADF) --duplex or --dup for duplex
              scanning using ADF.

       Scan area:
              -a<tlx>,<tly>,<brx>,<bry> or --area=<tlx>,<tly>,<brx>,<bry> Coordinates are relative to the  upper
              left  corner  of  the  scan  area.   Units  for tlx, tly, brx, and bry are specified by -t/--units
              (default is 'mm').  Use only commas between values, no spaces.

       Scan box:
              --box=<tlx>,<tly>,<width>,<height> tlx and tly coordinates are relative to the upper  left  corner
              of  the  scan area.  Units for tlx, tly, width, and height are specified by -t/--units (default is
              'mm').  Use only commas between values, no spaces.

       Top left x of the scan area:
              --tlx=<tlx> Coordinates are relative to the upper  left  corner  of  the  scan  area.   Units  are
              specified by -t/--units (default is 'mm').

       Top left y of the scan area:
              --tly=<tly>  Coordinates  are  relative  to  the  upper  left  corner of the scan area.  Units are
