If you have multiple scan jobs, not only are these reflected as multiple entries in the Scan Job window and as multiple images in the Preview window, but they will also be shown as multiple entries in the Job box of the Settings window. To select from multiple scan jobs, choose the scan job you wish in the Job box; this will automatically select the corresponding scan job in the Preview and Scan Job windows as well. Conversely, selecting a scan job in either the Preview or Scan Job window will automatically show that selection in the Job box. This means that a quick look at the Job box, the Preview Window, or the Scan Job window can show you which is your currently selected scan job. Correspondence between the Job box in the Settings window and the current scan job in the Preview and Scan Job windows Reference: The Settings Window 59 Type The Type box shows you the image type of the current scan job. ScanWizard Pro allows direct scanning in the following color spaces described below. RGB RGB (Red, Green, and Blue) images use three colors to reproduce up to 68. 7 billion colors. Because scanners and monitors are RGB devices, the RGB color space is the most commonly used space for capturing and displaying images. ScanWizard Pro offers standard RGB and 48-bit RGB color selection, with the 48-bit option available for the ScanMaker 5, ScanMaker 2000, the Artix line of scanners, and other Microtek professional pre-press scanners. Grayscale Grayscale images use shades of gray to simulate gradations of color or tonal values, and contain 8 bits per pixel. The Grayscale 16-bit option is provided in ScanWizard Pro for professional pre-press scanners. CMYK CMYK images are made up of the standard four colors (cyan, magenta, yellow and black or K) for separated film or digital files used for sheetfed or web offset printing. CMYK mode instantly converts the scanner's RGB input to the CMYK color space. Lab Color Lab images are three-channel images containing 24 bits per pixel. Lab mode is useful for editing a pixel's luminance but not its color values. Lab mode produces device-independent color and is recommended for moving images between systems or printing to a PostScript Level 2 printer. 60 Microtek ScanWizard Pro for Macintosh Web / Internet Colors This mode is useful for displaying images on the Web or Internet. Output for the Web / Internet color mode in ScanWizard Pro is 8-bit, 256 indexed color images in the sRGB color space. 256 Colors (Default) / 256 Colors (Custom) These are single-channel images (8 bits per pixel) that use a color lookup table containing up to 256 colors. As an initial setting, selecting 256 Colors (Default) uses an Adaptive palette with Diffusion. If the 256 Colors (Custom) option is selected, the dialog box below appears. 1) Palette: The Palette option lets you choose the method for creating the color palette table. [. . . ] With UCR applied, less process inks and more black increases the density in the shadows. LESS UCR 90% C 80% M 80% Y 70% K 320% TAC MORE UCR 85% C 72% M 72% Y 91% K 320% TAC Advantages & Disadvantages to UCR Undercolor removal within a TAC constraint reduces the problem of printing four solid layers of ink, one on top of the other, while each previous layer is still wet. Reducing the ink coverage, TAC, improves the ability of the paper to firmly hold each layer of wet ink. Also, replacing cmy ink with the less expensive black ink has proven more cost efficient on long runs that use more ink. Also, blacks and neutrals that print black are not influenced easily by shifts in the chromatic inks which cause color casts in the shadow tones. [. . . ]
