SELECTING A PROPER IMAGE
TYPE
Select image type through the mode from
the
scanner user interface
for your own purpose.
Each image type is described as follows:
Line art(Black and White)
LineArt presents the image in black and white only and
there are no intermediate shades of gray in between.
That means each pixel of the image is 100% black or
100% white. LineArt is the best choice of image type
if you want to scan text, pen or ink drawing. Since only
1-bit of black or white information is required for each
pixel*
, the disk space required for saving lineArt image
is only about 1/24 of that required to save 24-bit true
color images.
Lineart Image
*Pixel: A combination of two words: picture and element,
a pixel is a single dot on a computer display or in a
digital image.
