3.4 Image Type
This function selects the scanning mode: the Black and White mode yielding black
and white data, the grayscale mode yielding data in 256 levels, and the Color mode
yielding color data.
The Color mode and grayscale mode enable photos and other images with halftones
to be scanned at a high level of quality but a large memory and a lengthy scanning
time are required. (If images with halftones are to be captured in the Black and White
mode, refer to
.)
In the MultiStream (Binary&Gray or Binary&Color) mode, color images or gray scale
images and black and white images are output at the same time by a single scanning
operation.
In the Automatic mode, whether the document is in black and white or color is
identified automatically: with black and white pages, the pages are scanned in the
Black and White mode, and with color pages, they are scanned in the Color mode.
