4.2 Special Notes of Using Monaco EZ Profiles
During our tests, we discovered that an error is displayed
in the following settings when using a Monaco scanner profile:
Ø LCH working color space (in the More Preferences dialog
box,) and
Ø Scanner RGB in the RGB Destination popup menu (in the
Color Matching Setup dialog box)
This is because Monaco scanner profile does not support a
reverse transform from LAB to Scanner RGB space, which is
required by ScanWizard Pro.
However, this is not necessarily a fault of Monaco;
according to ICC input profile specification, this reverse transform
is an addition to a basic profile standard.
To avoid this problem, you may do either of the followings:
Ø Select Native working color space (in the More Preferences
dialog box,) or
Ø Choose any RGB Destination profile other than Scanner
RGB (in the Color Matching Setup dialog box)

but you have to be careful the settings to get what you want.

We don’t recommend you to defer the color matching
processing. In fact, ScanWizard Pro delivers the best possible
image quality through the use of 16 Bit ICC profile and the
