Introduction
1 Images for Display on a Monitor
Images for display on a monitor should in general be scanned at
Printing a resolution of 75 dpi.
2 Images for Printing

Scanning a Document Images to be printed should be scanned at a resolution which


with a Color Printer corresponds to the resolution of the printer. For example, if you
3 are using a 600 dpi black and white printer, you should scan
your document at [600 dpi].
Scanning a Document with
a Monochrome Printer
4 NOTE
With a color printer, the colors are expressed as a certain percentage of
PC Faxing ink pigment so scanning your document at half the resolution of the
printer should be fine. For example, if you are using a 600 dpi color
5 printer, you should scan your document at [300 dpi].
Printing to Scale
Troubleshooting
For example, if you want to print a document which is twice the
6 size both vertically and horizontally, the resolution of your
document will be reduced by half. If the resolution of the original
document is 300 dpi, the resolution of the enlarged document
will be 150 dpi. If you print the document with a 600 dpi color
printer, the lack of detail in the image may be obvious. In such a
case, if you scan at a resolution of 600 dpi, resolution will be 300
dpi even if you double the size of the document and you can
print the document with sufficient quality. Conversely, if you want
to print a document at a reduced size, it should be sufficient to
scan at half the resolution.
Resolution and Data Size
If you double the resolution, the image data will be four times
greater. If the data is too large, processing speed will slow down
significantly, and you may experience malfunctions such as lack
of memory. Make sure the resolution corresponds to the
purpose of use of the image and set at the lowest level possible.
