Scanner Notes

When scanning for a particular purpose, image resolution should be matched to the resolution of the output device. A 150dpi printer cannot take advantage of files with a greater reso- lution. A monitor cannot display and image whose the pixel dimensions exceeds the moni- tor’s. Although printers can print files at any size regardless of resolution, monitors cannot add or remove pixels to fit the image to the display area.
