The throughput of the Plus model is one of two noticeable differences between the Plus and the base FSS8300DSP scanner. Although the scanner nominally runs at 3ips in 200dpi mode, it has an interpolated 200dpi turbo mode that reaches 6ips. Turbo mode s appropriateness is in the eye of the beholder. For critical work, it makes sense to choose standard mode, but turbo mode s improvement in speed is hard to argue with, especially when you re on a deadline. The second noticeable difference between the Plus and the base model is the addition of error diffusion when scanning grayscale documents.
Error diffusion is a form of dithering, which replaces gray tones with patterns of dots.
The only other alternative is to scan in grayscale, convert with software to monochrome, then print. A new feature is hole filling, which automatically fills small white holes in black areas. All rights reserved.
