Mode

Choose a grayscale or binary (black and white) scanning format in the

 

Mode drop-down list box. Select the format that is best suited to your

 

application. Grayscale provides better image quality but requires more

 

scanning time and memory.

NOTES: Additional memory may be required for grayscale scanning, depending on the selected resolution and paper size. Refer to the chapter entitled Memory Requirements for more information about memory.
