Using the Scanner and
TWAIN Driver
Scanner Features
The scanner is especially designed for professional
electronic publishers, graphic arts designers,
multimedia developers, or anyone else who demands
only the best scanning results. The scanner recognizes
over 68 billion colors and can capture subtle changes in
color and depth rendering images that are more
vibrant, clearer, and sharper.
With a true optical resolution of 600 x 1200 dpi and a
maximum resolution of 9600 x 9600 dpi (through
interpolation), the scanner offers a wide range of
resolution to complement a variety of printers from
black-and-white inkjet and laser printers to color
inkjet, laser, and dye sublimation printers.
Scan Modes
The scanner incorporates multiple scan modes and
high resolutions. The scanner’s multiple scan modes
can reproduce your documents into six types of
images: 36-bit color images, 24-bit color images,
CMYK, 8-bit grayscale images, 8-bit fast gray images,
and 1-bit text or line-art images. The choice of scan
mode and image type depends on your output require-
ments and system configuration.
36-Bit Color
This scan mode captures 36 bits of color image
information for every pixel in the screen image.
Reproduce over 68 billion colors. When using this
mode, be sure your software supports 36-bit color and
that you have the appropriate video card and monitor
to view the scan results. Only Adobe Photoshop 3.0
or later currently supports this image type.
24-Bit Color
This scan mode captures 24 bits of color image
information for every pixel in the screen image.
Reproduce over 16.7 million colors. Impressive images
for multimedia presentations, printed output, or
autodemos can be obtained using this scan mode.
When disk space is limited, use 24-bit color scan mode
to capture color images.
