Basic Scanning
Caution:
Changing the size of the scanned image without keeping the aspect ratio can distort or stretch the image or produce other unexpected results.
Specifying the exact size of the scanned image is useful when you are scanning an image that needs to fit into defined dimensions, such as a column width in a newsletter.
If you need to change the size of the scanned image without changing the image file size, check the Keep File Size option. When you change the size of the scanned image, the software automatically adjusts the resolution of the image to maintain the current file size.
4.Enter a new value for the image width, length (height), or both (if you are not keeping the aspect ratio).
5.Change the image resolution, if needed.
The file size of the scanned image is displayed in kilobytes, or KB (one kilobyte = 1024 bytes), for the current settings, and is updated when you change the size of the scanned image. If the file is too large with the dimensions you’ve set, you can reduce the image file size by reducing the image resolution.
Conversely, if you reduce the image size, you may want to take advantage of the lower storage requirements by increasing image resolution.
