Color Type Black & White-Set the image Type to Black and White for text or line art. For photographic images, set the image type to Gray (Error diffusion) or True Gray. Gray (Error Diffusion)-is used for documents that have photographic images or graphics. (Error Diffusion is a method for creating simulated gray images without using true gray dots. Black dots are placed in a specific pattern to give the appearence of gray.) True Gray-is used for documents with photographic images or graphics. This mode is more exact because it uses up to 256 shades of gray. It requires the most memory and takes the longest transfer time. Colors-Choose either 8-bit Color, which scans up to 8-bit Color or 24-bit color which scans up to 16.8 million colors. Although using 24-bit color creates an image with the most accurate colors, the image file will be about three times larger than a file created with 8-bit Color. 8 - 18 USING YOUR MACHINE WITH A MACINTOSH®
