Gray scale (also
called monochrome or continuous tone)
This is the setting for black and white photographs and
drawings with various shades of gray in addition to black and
white. You can also use this setting for color photographs that
will be printed in black and white.
Color
This is the setting for color photographs or other originals in
color. (Your software may have several color settings. Use
24-bit RGB, three-pass, and/or page-sequence mode or
equivalent settings.)
Note:
Scans from photographs are better than
scans from
printed images,
such as newspaper or magazine pictures, because of halftoning
conflicts. Use photographs instead of the color images in the
Color
Image Scanner booklet for experimenting with your scanner.
Resolution
The best resolution setting depends on the image type or mode
(line art, gray scale, or color) and the printing method. Read
“Printing methods” and “File size” below; then use the table on
page 3-9 to find the resolution you should use.
Printing methods
