1If your final output is for on-screen viewing (for example, on a web page), select 72 dpi for your resolution.

2If you are enlarging your image, you must manually increase the resolution (dpi) proportionally to maintain the resolution of your original.

PressWriter for Macintosh does not have a TWAIN scan function, but you can import a scanned image from another application using the Object, Import Image function.
