  • Page 32 Tips: 1. For your information, an A4 size color image scanned at 300 dpi at True Color mode consumes approximately 25 MB of disk space. A higher resolution (usually means over 600 dpi) is recommended only when you need to scan a small area at True Color mode. 2.

  • Page 35 Halftone In addition to the black and white display, Halftone simulates grayscale by using different size of dots. Particularly when you view the image at a certain distance, it looks very closely like a gray image yet it consumes the least disk space. Halftone is the picture that we usually see in newspapers or magazines.
