Grayscale +will produce 256 levels of gray (8 bits). Color will produce a 24 bits +color image. + +.TP +.B \-\-resolution +selects the resolution for a scan.

E.g., +a value of 128 requests all debug output to be printed. Smaller levels +reduce verbosity. + + +.SH LIMITATIONS +The windows TWAIN driver has many more options than this SANE +backend.
