Choose the output image type from Photo, Web or Text. Resolution and Scan Type will be automatically
altered for each of the default settings.
The default settings are listed in the table below:
Resolution 2
You can choose a scanning resolution from the Resolution drop-down list. Higher resolutions take more
memory and transfer time, but produce a finer scanned image. The following table shows the resolutions you
can choose and the available colors.
Scan Type 2
Black & White
Use for text or line art images.
Gray (Error Diffusion)
Use for photographic images or graphics. (Error Diffusion is a method for creating simulated gray images
without using true gray dots. Black dots are put in a specific pattern to give a gray appearance.)
True Gray
Use for photographic images or graphics. This mode is more exact due to using up to 256 shades of gray.
