Changing the Resolution Setting

Scanning resolution is measured in dots per inch (DPI). Resolution determines the amount of information the scanner will capture in a scanned image. The higher the resolution, the finer the image detail and the larger the file sizes.

VistaScan lets you choose from the following resolution settings:

•Higher – this option opens a drop down menu that contains higher resolution settings which include 9600, 8400, 7200, 6000, 4800, 3600, 2400, 1800, and 1600 dpi selections.
