Performance and Image Quality  

Performance and Image Quality Expectations Guide 

3-5 

Note 

In order to simulate grayscale (8 bits per pixel), the Reference Scanner captures halftone 
images at 1 bit per pixel (black and white) and renders them using halftone screening at 
different frequencies (lpi – lines per inch) based on the content of the document (fine or course 
halftone) versus the Xerox DocuMate 4799, which renders a grayscale image at 8 bits per 
pixel. As a result, the Xerox DocuMate 4799 is capable of reproducing images that more 
closely approximate the original document 

The captured digital images were then 

compared to equivalent scans (digital images) 

obtained from the Reference Scanner, which served as the baseline, or reference for 
comparison

. The results of this comparison have been documented below. All scans were 

captured independent of applying image enhancement software, which might otherwise 
improve or enhance the appearance of the images during or post-capture. 

Image Quality Evaluation

1

 

 

Xerox DocuMate 4799 

Assessment 

Black and White 

Scans the image bi-
tonal, where everything 
on the page is either 
black or white 

 

 

Better reproduction (clarity) of fine text and 
line art compared to the Reference Scanner  

 

Not suitable for reproducing grayscale or 
color graphics 

Grayscale 

Scans the image using 
varying shades of gray 
to reproduce the 
document 



 

Good overall reproduction of shades of  
gray – variations from black at the weakest 
intensity to white at the strongest, and Tonal 
Reproduction Curve (TRC) – luminance, or 
brightness of the image, compared to the 
Reference Scanner 

 

May experience Moiré (interference pattern 
or artifact) in certain images 

Color 

Scans the image in color, 
creating a full color copy 
of an original document 



 

Acceptable overall reproduction of color 
(color depth/balance), especially in highlight 
areas compared to the Reference Scanner  

 

Acceptable Tonal Reproduction Curve (TRC) 
– graduations of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow or 
Black (CMYK) from 0 -100%, compared to 
the Reference Scanner  

 

Good reproduction (color and clarity) of fine 
lines and color text compared to the 
Reference Scanner 

 

Light color text on light backgrounds may 
appear fuzzy in certain color combinations 

Overall 



 

 Fair 

 Good 

 

Very Good
