About Guidelines for Resolution Settings
When scanning, if you set the resolution high (increase the numerical value), the image will be extremely detailed, and if you set the resolution low (decrease the numerical value), the image will be rough.
Guidelines for resolutions to set and the purposes of scanned image are shown below.
150 dpi
Using in a web site
Attaching to an e-mail
300 dpi
Printing
Storing the image in a computer
Reading text strings with OCR
If you want to magnify the scanned image and print it, set a resolution higher than the above guidelines.
You can set resolution in any one of the following settings in ScanGear MF.
[Select Purpose] in the [Basic Mode] sheet
[Output Settings] > [Output Resolution] in the [Advanced Mode] sheet
NOTEIf you set the output resolution at double, the size of the image data will quadruple. If the amount of data is too high, errors such as insufficient memory could easily occur, therefore set the minimum resolution required for the purpose.
