Special Controls
There are three scanner controls for scanning
images. Except the basic controls (Manual Control),
binuscan IPM and MagicMatch
are special controls that users can choose to achieve special effect of
a scanned image.

binuscan IPM (Image Processing Machine) is a utility which automatically optimizes the colors, resolution and filtering, as seen by the scanner, into the best possible rendition by a monitor or printer. Whereas in MagicMatch, the user must actively create or modify a profile that gives the desired rendition on a printer or monitor.
The binuscan IPM window is driven via the binuscan IPM engine; however, some controls such as highlight and shadow, etc. are removed or disabled. Yet, it provides three additional scan mode for you to scan your image
Color to Gray | Color to CMYK B/W | Gray to CMYK B/W |
Original is Color
It transfers the color image into gray scale. Though the image shown on the screen is grayscale, yet it is simulated by color pixels and the color is more vivid that the 256 gray scale san mode. |
Original is Color
The image you get is grayscale. Yet it will be separated into four levels like using CMYK to separate a color into Cyan, Megenta, Yellow and Black. The image you get is more vivid than 256 gray scale scan mode. |

MagicMatch is driven via the Kodak KCMS engine. Users can choose a printer profile to achieve color matching even though the scanning controls are almost the same as those in binuscan IPM. At this point MagicScan has composed a group of printer profiles, which provide a means of transferring data from source to destination. Select a Printer Profile that best matches the printer you are using from the pull-down menu.
Note: Some controls such as highlight and shadow, etc. are removed or disabled.
By using the ICC(International Color Consortium) Compatible Profile, MagicScan allows you to add new printer profile into the existing profile group. This engine is compatible with Windows system and ColorSync system in Macintosh. Please refer to the supplied manual of your printer for installing printer profile into your computer system. MagicScan will update the printer profile automatically after the newly profile is installed. Later, you can choose that printer profile from the printer profile pull-down list on MagicScan as the image output device.
Printer Profile Pull Down List
This selection determines which output device the image will be sent to after color matching. That means it allows you to choose the output destination of your scanned images.
Different output devices require different color calibration profiles. If you decide and want to send the scanned image to an output device (printer, monitor...), you must choose the corresponding profile of that device. Later, after scanned by initiating color matching, you will have an image similar to the original image.
Output Device Profile falls into two broad categories: monitors and printers. Select No Printer if you want to display the scanned image on your computer screen. Otherwise, choose a printer profile from the pull-down list which best matches your printer. Possible modes for image are as follows:
No Printer: use the monitor instead of printer profile
Profiles: list the available profiles of printer
Be aware that this menu is only active when the MagicMatch operation mode is selected.
