True Color, RGB:  Scans a full color photo or document. The
RGB indicates the colors of Red, Green and Blue. This setting
creates larger files than the B/W Photo setting.
True Color, CMYK:  Converts RGB (video) color data into
CMYK (printed) color data using a special color transformation
process. When scanning is completed the CMYK image is ready for
printing on a CMYK color printer.
NOTE:  Most ink jet printers use RGB rather than CMYK printing.
256 Colors:  Scans color images using 256 colors. The 256 color
images take up less memory and hard disk space than the True
Color RGB option.
Web Photo:  Scans an image at the appropriate resolution for
display on the monitor.
B/W Photo:  Scans black-and-white photos using 256 shades of
gray (ranging from white to black) so you get smooth shade
transitions in your scanned image.
B/W Document:  Scans text documents, black-and-white line art,
and other black-and-white documents. This selection creates the
smallest files.
FAX:  Scans at the appropriate resolution for faxing.
OCR:  Scans at the appropriate settings for optimal OCR
recognition.
True Color 42-bit RGB:  Scans a full-color photo or document
using 42-bits of information to define each pixel. The RGB
indicates the colors of Red, Green and Blue. This setting creates
larger files than the True Color RGB setting.
B/W Photo, 14-bit:  Scans a black-and-white photo using 14-bits
of data to define each pixel. This setting produces more gray shade
accuracy than the B/W Photo option, but also produces larger file
sizes.
