The data produced by the scanner needs to be reproduced to be
seen as an image. This is done, for example, by displaying the
image data on a computer screen or printing it on a printer. The
same image data can appear different depending on how it is
reproduced. The various scanner functions aid in providing
optimum reproduction results by adjusting the way the image
is captured and converted into image data.
