True Color, CMYK:
Converts RGB (video) color data into
CMYK (printed) color data using a special color transformation
process. When scanning is completed the CMYK image is ready for
printing on a CMYK color printer.
NOTE:
Most ink jet printers use RGB rather than CMYK printing.
256 Colors
: Scans color images using 256 colors. The 256 color
images take up less memory and hard disk space than the True
Color RGB option.
Web Photo:
Scans an image at the appropriate resolution for
display on the monitor.
B/W Photo:
Scans black and white photos using 256 shades of
gray (ranging from white to black) so you get smooth shade
transitions in your scanned image.
B/W Document:
Scans text documents, black and white line art,
and other black and white documents. This selection creates the
smallest files.
FAX:
Scans at the appropriate resolution for faxing.
OCR:
Scans at the appropriate settings for optimal OCR
recognition.
True Color 36-bit RGB:
Scans a full color photo or document
using 36-bits of information to define each pixel. The RGB
indicates the colors of Red, Green and Blue. This setting creates
larger files than the True Color RGB setting.
NOTE
: Not all graphic applications support 36-bit graphic files.
To determine whether the software you want to use is capable of
working with 36-bit graphics, refer to your software documentation.
B/W Photo, 12-bit:
Scans a black and white photo using 12-bits of
data to define each pixel. This setting produces more gray shade
accuracy than the B/W Photo option, but also produces larger file
sizes.
