  This would depend on how you convert from color to grayscale.  The answer
would be a definite 'yes' is you're asking the scan software to deliver
grayscale ... but the preferred method would only ask the scanner to deliver
typical RGB data, and then you'd use a tool like Photoshop's channel mixer
to convert to grayscale.
