3.2.3 Binary reading
[A.4.7 SET WINDOW command / Image Composition = X’00’]
Following three parameters are available when binarizing the image. The 256 levels of the density at
each pixel is processed by Contrast and binarized by Threshold. When the White level following is se
ON, the white level of the CCD output follows the background of the document. So this is useful for
line art drawing but not for photograph.
