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.
