Austin,

I would assume the same thing, but I do not know for sure; the 
literature is vague about this stuff.  However the software does 
support custom ICC profiles.  I don't think that that necessarily 
means that it scans in greyscale, but it is a nice feature to have.  
It scans B&W film beautifully, both C41 and conventional silver 
emulsions.
