and memos are usually scanned in black and white.

to scan items such as documents containing
drawings or black and white photographs.

scans have the largest file size.
Resolution
—Drag the slider to the right or left to adjust the dots per
inch (dpi) of the resolution. The maximum resolution is 600 dpi; the
minimum is 50 dpi. Higher dpi settings take longer to scan and
produce larger files for the scanned images.

Contrast

Contrast setting does not apply to the Black&White mode.

The greater the contrast, the more difference between the lighter and
darker shades in the image.
