Set the output dimensions

To get the best quality image, determine in advance the physical dimensions you want for the image and set those dimensions with the Dimensions tool in the scanning software. For example, if the original is smaller than the size you need the image to be in another program, resize it now. Resizing an image in the destination program can cause the image to become fuzzy or jagged.

The usual procedure for setting output dimensions follows this order:

1Choose the units of measurement you want to work with (page 59).

2Create a selection area (page 51) and adjust the size of the selection area (page 55).

3Adjust the output dimensions (page 60).
