Scan Quality - Microtek ScanWizard Bio Reference Manual

Smoked Glass Background
This option lets you apply a smoked glass background that makes your scan jobs
stand out more clearly and allows you to focus on the scan jobs. This feature can
also be used for multiple scan jobs to show their respective image modes, as well
as their image editing settings.

Scan Quality

This option allows you to select the image quality by controlling the scanner
hardware and the maximum image processing depth.
Speed: Choose this option if your primary concern during scanning is
speed. Image data is delivered faster and the image data is
processed in 8 bits per channel.
Quality: This is the default setting. Scanned data is delivered a little
slower but in high quality, and the image data is processed in 8
bits per channel.
Best Quality: This setting is available only to higher-depth scanners (10-, 12-
bit, or higher). Scanned data is delivered a little slower but in
high quality, and image data is processed in maximum bits per
channel (i.e., 10-, 12-bit, or higher), and then converted to the
desired output depth. This special operation results in the best
image quality possible.
The framed part of the image
(inside the marquee) stands
out clearly.
Applied to the rest of the
image is the smoked glass
background (shaded gray
area surrounding the selection
or framed area).
