8.Choose the Resolution setting:

Choose 300 dpi for most photos that you plan to print at their original size or smaller (or 72 dpi if you only want to view them on your screen or on the Web)

Choose a higher resolution for line drawings, or if you plan to enlarge a photo

Higher resolutions create larger files that take longer to print and process.
