Determining Resolution
Data of the scanned image consists of dots which have information about brightness and color. The density of these dots is called "resolution", and "dpi" (dots per inch) refers to the number of dots in one inch.
Specify the resolution in the following options.
MF Toolbox -> [Resolution]
ScanGear MF -> the advanced mode tab -> [Resolution]
When displaying on the display
Images for display on a display should usually be scanned at a resolution of 75 dpi.
When printing with the printer
Scan the document according to the resolution of the printer.
IMPORTANT
When enlarging/reducing a printing image
When printing an image with the length and width doubled, the actual resolution becomes half. In this case, you can print in sufficient quality by scanning the document in double resolution. Conversely, when printing an image with the length and width halved, you can print properly in half resolution.
NOTE
When printing with a color printer
Specifying the resolution at half the resolution of the printer should be fine because inks of several colors are mixed in color printing.
