Color Type:
Black & White: Set the Color Type to Black & White for text or line art.
Gray Scale: For photographic images, set the Color Type to Gray (Error
Diffusion) or True Gray.
Gray (Error Diffusion) is used for documents that contain photographic
images or graphics.
True gray mode is used for documents that contain photographic images or
graphics. This mode requires the most memory and the longest transfer
time.
Colors: Choose either 256 Color, which scans up to 256 colors, 24 bit color
24 bit color [Fast], which scans up to 16.8 million colors. Although using
24 bit color or 24 bit color [Fast] creates an image with the most accurate
colors, the image file will be approximately nine times larger than a file
created with 256 Color. You have a choice of faster scanning with 24 bit
color [Fast] or using the Brother Color Matching Technology with 24 bit
color.
Size:
Set the Size to one of the following:
• Letter (8 1/2 x 11 in.)
• A4 (210 x 297 mm.)
• Legal (8 1/2 x 14 in.)
• A5 (148 x 210 mm.)
• B5 (182 x 257 mm.)
• Executive (7 1/4 x 10 1/2 in.)
• Business Card (60 x 90 mm.)
• Custom (User adjustable from 0.35 x 0.35 in. to 8.5 x 14 in.)
After you select a size, you can adjust the scanning area further by using the
left mouse button to drag the dotted outline of the scanning area. This is
useful when you want to crop an image when scanning.
To scan business cards, select the Business Card (60 x 90 mm.) size setting
and place the business card at the top center of a carrier sheet.
Carrier sheets are available from your Dealer.
