HP 1200 manual Overview

Overview

If you are printing a scanned image or copying an image and the quality is not as you expected, you might have selected a resolution or color setting in the copier/scanner software that does not match your needs. Resolution and color affect scanned and copied images in the following ways:

	●	Image clarity
	● Texture of gradations (smooth or rough)
	● Scan and copy time
	●	File size
	Resolution is measured in dots per inch (dpi) while color and
	grayscale are measured by the number of colors possible. You
	can adjust the scanner resolution up to 600 dpi. You can set color
	and grayscale at 1 (black and white) or 8 (256 levels of gray) to
	24 bit (true color).
	The Resolution and color guidelines table lists simple tips that
	you can follow to meet your scanning and copying needs. Also
	see Resolution and Color to learn more about these topics.
Note	Setting the resolution and color to a high value can create large files
	that take up disk space and slow the scanning or copying process. It is

important that you determine how you are going to use the scanned image.
