SCSI interface device ID When you have several devices on a SCSI chain, you may need to adjust the SCSI
ID selector on the scanner. This selector assigns a specific device ID to the scanner.
If the assignment conflicts with an existing SCSI device, select a new ID.
NOTE: The factory setting for the scanner is ID 6. ID 0 is usually assigned to an
internal hard disk drive and ID 7, ID 8, and ID 9 are not in actual use. The
scanner will not operate properly if the SCSI ID is set to ID 7, ID 8, or ID 9.
•Using a suitable tool, turn the SCSI ID selector switch until the arrow points to the
desired ID number.
Setting the SCSI
terminator The scanner comes with a built-in SCSI terminator. The terminator on/off switch is
located on the scanner between the SCSI cable connectors.

Image Type Select the mode you want to use for your scans on the Image Type drop-down menu.
Black and White—the image appears in black and white with no intermediate shades
of gray. That means that each pixel of the image is either 100% black or 100% white.
Choose Black and White if you are scanning text or pen and ink drawings. Since only
one bit of black or white information is required per pixel, the file size of a Black and
White image is only about 1/24 the size of a 24-Bit Color image.
Halftone—a halftone is a picture like that which is usually seen in a newspaper or
magazine. Since a halftone is a type of black-and-white image, the file size of a halftone
image is only about 1/24 the size of a 24-Bit Color image.
Halftone simulates grayscale by using varying dot sizes. If you view a halftone image at
a certain distance, it looks much like a grayscale image, but the file size is smaller.
When you select Halftone, a submenu appears that allows you to select a halftone
pattern.
8-Bit Gray—a single-channel image consists of at least 256 shades of gray. An 8-bit
scanner produces a grayscale image with 1024 shades of gray between pure black and
pure white. Choose this option if you are scanning black-and-white photographs.
With 8 bits of color information per pixel, the file size of an image is eight times larger
than a Black and White image and 1/3 the size of a 24-Bit Color image.
8-Bit Color—an 8-Bit Color image provides 256 color hues in the image. The file size of
a 256 color image is 1/3 the size of a 24-Bit Color image (TWAIN only).
24-Bit Color—a 24-Bit Color image consists of three 8-bit color channels. The red,
green, and blue channels are mixed together to create a combination of one billion
colors which give a more true-to-life quality to the image. Choose 24-Bit Color if you are
scanning color photos.

A-61182 October 2001 15
Resolution Resolution or dots per inch (dpi) indicates the scanning resolution, which largely
determines the quality of the scanned image. The greater the resolution, the better the
reproduction will be.
However, scanning at a higher resolution also increases scanning time and file size.
Therefore, up to a certain dpi level, the resolution will not be visually improved, but the
file size will be larger.
Tips
An A4-size color image scanned at 300 dpi in 24-Bit Color mode is approximately 25 MB
in size. A higher resolution (usually over 600 dpi) is recommended only when you need
to scan a small area in 24-Bit Color mode.
Refer to the following table to choose the best image resolution for use with your
application.
