The black-frame area is displayed in values <Output Size>.

Image Type

Select the type of image to be scanned.

The following four types of image scanning are selectable:

• Monochrome image (no halftone correction)

A method suitable for an image containing mainly text and drawings. Select this type when halftone

correction results in a blurred image.

• Halftone image (error diffusion)

This method, using no uniform pattern in halftone, is suitable for natural images such as photographs

and produces smooth images. The method, although requiring somewhat large file sizes, produces

high-quality images in comparison to the dither method.

• Halftone image (8x8 dot dither)

This method, which produces images with a unique uniform pattern, is suitable for photographs. This

method, with somewhat lower image quality, reduces file sizes.

• Grayscale image (256 scales)

This method, best suitable to natural images such as photographs, produces tones with high fidelity by

no halftone correction. Compared to halftone image scanning, this method requires longer scanning

times and results in larger file sizes.

Resolution

Select the resolution for scanning.

<Standard>, <Fine>, and <Super Fine> are resolution levels for FAX communication.

Paper Size

Select the size of originals to be scanned. The size and orientation of the preview window changes

according to the selected document size.
