Settings in the Scanner Window
Image
Resolution
Choose the scanning resolution from the Resolution pop-up menu. Higher resolutions take more
memory and transfer time, but can achieve a finer scanned image.
Colour Type
Black & White—Set the Colour Type to Black & White for text or line art. For photographic images,
set the Colour Type to Grey (Error diffusion) or True Grey.
Grey (Error Diffusion)—is used for documents that contain photographic images or graphics. (Error
Diffusion is a method for creating simulated grey images by placing black dots in a specific matrix
instead of true grey dots.)
True Grey—also is used for documents containing photographic images or graphics. This mode is
more exact because it uses up to 256 shades of grey. It requires the most memory and longest transfer
time.
Colours: Choose either 8 Bit Color, which scans up to 256 colours or 24 Bit Color which scans up
to 16.8 million colours. Although using 24 Bit Color creates an image with the most accurate
colours, the image file will be approximately three times larger than a file created with 8 Bit Colour.
