Dots per inch (Resolution)

Page Size

Dots per inch (dpi) indicates the scanning resolution, which largely determines the quality of the scanned image. The greater the resolution, the better the reproduction. However, scanning at a higher resolution also increases scanning time and file size. This function sets the resolution of the main scan and sub-scan areas. The industry standard is 200 dpi (about 8 pixels/mm).

You can choose a preset resolution value in the Dots per inch drop- down list box or type the desired value. The default value is 300 dpi. Following are the available resolutions:

∙Scanner 1500—100-600 dpi (1 dpi/step)

∙Scanner 2500—100-600 dpi (1 dpi/step)

NOTE: Changing the resolution affects the Area, Region, Dither, and Barcode settings. Specify the resolution before you select these functions.

This option determines the scanning area by a pre-determined paper size. The default page size is set when a scanner is first selected. Choose a paper size in the Page Size drop-down list box.

NOTE: Changing the page size affects the Area, Region, Dither, and Barcode settings. Specify the page size before you select these functions.
