<h1>
<u><font color="#009900">Scan mode (stand alone)</font></u></h1>
The scan mode is to scan an image and save it to a file.

<h3>
<u><font color="#009900">Supported output formats:</font></u></h3>

<blockquote>You can select the output format by the filename extension
(menu = "by ext") or by selecting the file format in the menu. Possible
are: <i>pnm, png, ps, jpeg, raw </i>and<i> tiff.</i></blockquote>

<blockquote><i>Pnm</i> and <i>ps</i> (and raw) are always available. The
other formats are only available if necessary libraries are present (at
compilation time AND while xsane is executed). For <i>png</i> you need
libpng and libz, for <i>jpeg</i> you need jpeglib, for <i>tiff</i> you
need libtiff.</blockquote>

<blockquote>The <i>raw</i> format is a 16 bit format comparable to 16 bit
binary <i>pnm</i> format that is not defined, for <i>pnm</i> the 16 bit
format only is defined as ascii mode which generates huge and slow files.</blockquote>

<blockquote><b>The supported output formats depend on the bit depth of
the scanned image:</b>
<h4>
<u><font color="#990000">1 bit/pixel black/white mode:</font></u></h4>

<blockquote><font color="#000099">pnm = pbm, png</font>
<br><font color="#000099">ps, jpeg and tiff are converted to 8 bit grayscale
mode.</font></blockquote>

<h4>
<u><font color="#990000">8 bits/pixel grayscale mode:</font></u></h4>

<blockquote><font color="#000099">pnm = pgm, png, ps, jpeg and tiff</font></blockquote>

<h4>
<u><font color="#990000">16 bits/pixel grayscale mode (9-16 bits):</font></u></h4>

<blockquote><font color="#000099">pnm (ascii), png and raw</font></blockquote>

<h4>
<u><font color="#990000">24 bits/pixel RGB-color mode (8 bits/color):</font></u></h4>

<blockquote><font color="#000099">pnm = ppm, png, ps, jpeg and tiff</font></blockquote>

<h4>
<u><font color="#990000">48 bits/pixel RGB-color mode (9-16 bits/color):</font></u></h4>

<blockquote><font color="#000099">pnm (ascii), png and raw</font></blockquote>

<h4>
<u><font color="#990000">32 bits/pixel RGBA-color mode (8 bits/color):</font></u></h4>

<blockquote><font color="#000099">rgba (raw) and png with alpha channel</font></blockquote>

<h4>
<u><font color="#990000">64 bits/pixel RGBA-color mode (9-16 bits/color):</font></u></h4>

<blockquote><font color="#000099">rgba (raw) and png with alpha channel</font></blockquote>
