The following pictures show some examples of the scan mode: Gray 256 scales Halftone, B/W...
Page 178: Resolution
Gray 256 scales 8-bit grayscale. Images scanned in 8-bit grayscale will show up to 256 shades of gray. If high quality copies of photographs or other continuous tone originals are desired, grayscale mode is a good choice. 256 Grayscales provides accurate representation of black and white, and shades intermediate between black and white, for each individual pixel.
Page 179: Scaling Factor
300 dpi 75 dpi You can select any one of the resolutions shown on the sub-menu according to the scanner connected to your computer, or specify your own resolution by selecting the Custom option which invokes the Custom Scan Resolution dialog box.
Page 180 Common scaling options are given in percentages. The width and height are scaled proportionally when the common scaling factors are used. In order to scale to size other than the fixed sizes, select the Custom option in the Scaling menu. The Custom Scaling dialog box will appear. The height or width can be entered separately by clicking on the link graphic to break the link between the Height and Width fields.
Page 181: Filter
Filter Filter is typically useful for high-contrast images which soften or sharpen edges and boundaries of an image. No Filter This is the default filter option. No filtering will take place when using this option. Sharpen Emphasizes the edges of an image. This option sharpens the image boundaries by increasing the relative contrast between adjacent pixels.
Page 182: Descreen
Descreen If you choose halftone-printed graphic material as your object for scanning, its halftone printing dot pattern may result in interference patterns occurring in the resulting scanned image. The image may appear to have a checkered, banded, or dotted appearance. These interference patterns are called moire patterns, and Descreen preprocessing can minimize the transfer of them into your image file.

Page 199: How To Adjust The Monitor Gamma
How to Adjust the Monitor Gamma Monitor Gamma calibration corrects for differences in monitors due to age or manufacturing processes. It should be set periodically to compensate for changes in a monitor during its lifetime. This command allows you to selectively adjust the brightness of the midtone areas of your monitor display so that it closely approximates the color detail of your original images.
Page 200: Info
Correcting Color Gamma The best approach for correcting color gamma values is to eliminate, as much as possible, any differences in the shading of the color sample by using the slider bars provided on the right of each of the samples. ItÕs important that you maintain the gray balance while adjusting the colors, ensuring that the gray is not tinted.
