Determining the setting values for printing

Based on the size of the image you plan to print and on the resolution of the printer, use the following formulas to determine the final scanning settings.

Main scan zoom (%):

HX =

 

X × 100

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

LX2

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sub scan zoom (%):

HY =

 

Y × 100

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

LY2

n2 × RPY × HY

N1

The parameter values for the ESC R, ESC H, and ESC A commands then become as follows:

ESC R :

n1

= RPX, n2 = RPY

ESC H :

i1 = HX, i2 = HY

ESC A:

n1

= N1, n2 = N2, n3 = N3, n4 = N4

Note:

On scanners that can respond to printers and other various output devices, you can set the RPX and RPY values to match the horizontal and vertical resolution of your target printer.
