Scan Type 9
 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 grey images
without using true grey dots. Black dots are put in a specific pattern to give the grey appearance.)
 True Gray
Use for photographic images or graphics. This mode is more exact because it uses up to 256 shades of
grey.
 8BitColor
Uses up to 256 colours to scan the image.
 24 Bit Color
Uses up to 16.8 million colours to scan the image.
Although using 24 Bit Color creates an image with the most accurate colour reproduction, the image file
size will be about three times larger than a file created using the 8BitColor option. It requires the most
memory and has the longest transfer time.
