GRAY SCALE DISPLAY REQUIREMENTS:
Minimum 8-bit video card and gray scale or color monitor capable of displaying 256 colors/shades of gray.
GRAY SCALE PRINTING REQUIREMENTS:
All Macintosh computers using LaserWriter® and LaserPrep version 6.0 (included) or later allow you to print gray scale images directly from ScanMan with the following exceptions: Mac Plus, Classic, SE, and Portable. These machines do not support 32-bit QuickDraw. Users of the Mac Plus, Classic, SE and Portable should select the advanced halftone rendering to print their gray scale images directly from ScanMan. Please see printers below:
The simplest method is to print using Gray rendering and with resolution set at 66 dpi. Size can be adjusted according to your needs. The LaserWriter® driver will dither your picture using the standard halftone method (53 lines, 45 degrees).
To export images into HyperCard®, use advanced halftone at 72 dpi. To export images for use in applications that don't support gray scale images, use advanced halftone at 300 dpi or custom resolutions (100 or 150 dpi). Experiment with the advanced halftone image exposure control (lightest-darkest) in the print options dialog box. To export images for use in desktop publishing applications, use gray rendering at 66 dpi and save as a TIFF file.
Line-art Images
Your only choice of rendering is high-contrast. The resolution setting at 300 dpi.
You can achieve excellent results when printing gray scale images from ScanMan using the advanced halftone option from any Macintosh. You can also export and print advanced halftone images from applications that don't support gray scale images. Set the advanced halftone resolution equal to or half your printer resolution. Experiment with the advanced halftone image exposure control (lightest-darkest) in the print options dialog box.
Line-art Images
When printing high resolution line-art images to printers with a lower resolution (example: 300 dpi image to 72 dpi ImageWriter®) set the Priority to None, Scale to 100% and Resolution equal to your printer resolution in order to print your image at the same size as the original. Otherwise the image will be enlarged due to the fact your printer dots are larger than your image dots.
