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

**Automatically selects Text Enhancement Technology (TET) as your B/W option.

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

****If you are scanning between 1201 and 2400 dpi, EPSON recommends you limit your scan area to 4 × 11.7 inches to

maintain true hardware resolution. Above 2400 dpi, you will be using

software interpolation to increase the resolution.
