I have to echo Larry here. Having scanned over 500 books with K1000, I can 
definitively say there are no magic settings. Certainly, grayscale does work 
pretty well a lot of the time; but it isn’t always the best setting. Use the 
optimize scanning feature and you’ll see that it often chooses settings other 
than grayscale, and brightness levels can vary considerably from one book to 
another. Those are just two examples. Other settings can also affect scan 
quality.
So either do some tests, or try out the optimize scanning feature and go with 
that. For a beginner, I would recommend using the optimizer. It is true that 
there are times when it may not give the absolute best result, but I still 
think it’s the best way to go until you’ve scanned a good number of books and 
develop some intuition as to whether to stick with what the optimizer gives you 
or change it.
