❏You will scan the images at their original size, but then enlarge them later in an image-editing program.

If you plan to enlarge your images later in an image-editing program, you need to increase the Resolution setting to retain a high image quality after enlargement. Increase the resolution by the same amount you will increase the image size. For example, if the resolution is 300 dpi (dots per inch), but you will increase the image size by 200% in an image-editing program, change the Resolution setting to 600 dpi in EPSON Scan.

Click the arrow next to the Resolution list and select the number of dots per inch at which you want to scan. See the table below for some guidelines:
