Kodak i60, i50 manual Tips, Scanner Settings Application, Image Type, Resolution dpi

Resolution	Resolution or 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 will be.
	However, scanning at a higher resolution also increases scanning time and file size.
	Therefore, up to a certain dpi level, the resolution will not be visually improved, but the
	file size will be larger.
	Tips
	An A4-size color image scanned at 300 dpi in 24-Bit Color mode is approximately 25 MB
	in size. A higher resolution (usually over 600 dpi) is recommended only when you need
	to scan a small area in 24-Bit Color mode.
	Refer to the following table to choose the best image resolution for use with your
	application.
