Displayed images of this sort are typically composed of shades of gray, varying from black at the weakest intensity to white at the strongest, though in . The clean and sharp images derived from the Xerox scanner reduces the load on the network and results in improved performance. With regard to resolution, we have previously only offered 200 or 300 dpi black and white (bitonal) scanners which is adequate for document management.
