which is a 24% reduction from the scan resolution of 2000 dpi. Note that this is also a
417% increase in resolution from Output back to the Scan.
Automatic Software Adjustments
As in Version 1.x Host Software, whenever you change a Scan or Output setting, the
software has to change one or more of the other settings to balance the formulas listed
above. In Version 2.10, the rules the software follows to determine which settings to
change are different:
• Magnification is the first setting the software will change.
• If needed, the Output Resolution and/or Output Width and Height are the next settings
the software will change.
• The software will only adjust the Scan Resolution and Scan Width and Height as a
last resort.
For example, if you start with the Factory Default settings (no cropping, 3600 dpi) and
change the Output Width to 6 inches, the software will change the Magnification to 417%
(6” / 1.44”). It will then change the Output Height to 4 inches and the Output Resolution to
863 dpi using the new Magnification. The Scan Width, Height and Resolution are not
changed.
Locking Scan and Output Settings
Since the rules the software follows for changing settings will not meet every situation,
Version 2.10 also includes the ability to lock a setting. When a setting is locked, you may
change its value, but the software may not. The following settings may be locked:
• Output Width and Height
• Output Resolution
• Scan Width and Height
• Scan Resolution
The lock buttons operate as a toggle. To lock a setting, place the cursor on its lock button
() and press the selection button on your computer’s pointing device. The button will
change appearance to indicate that the associated setting is locked ( ). Simply
perform this operation again to unlock the setting.
You can lock only one of the resolutions at a time and only lock one set of the Width and
Height fields at a time.
When the Output Size is locked, a crop box (and therefore the Scan Size) will
automatically adhere to the aspect ratio defined by the Output Width and Height. In
addition, when you have locked the Output Size, clicking the Preview Image outside the
crop box will not eliminate a crop box. To dismiss a crop box, unlock the Output Size and
click outside the crop box.
