  • Page 18: Prescan Resolution

    As with the earlier RFS 3600 Host Software, all Prescans and Scans performed by the RFS 3600 generate 12 bits of data per pixel. If the 8-bit Color Processing option is selected, the scanner’s 12-bit Prescan/Scan data are converted to 8-bit space before being transferred to your computer, one byte/pixel.

  • Page 19: Embed Output Profile

    Selecting 16 bits causes the data to be moved from 12-bit space to 16-bit space before the data is sent to ADOBE PHOTOSHOP or to your hard drive. Note: if you select the 16 bits option and scan into ADOBE PHOTOSHOP, the memory allocation in ADOBE PHOTOSHOP to hold the image data will be twice the allocation required for an image produced using the 8 bits option.
