Destination button

The Destination button allows you to customize the Destination settings. To make your own settings, such as scanning resolution, click this button. The following dialog box appears.

Destination Name:

Predefined and custom setting names appear in the Destination menu.

Resolution:

Specify a scanning resolution for line drawing and halftone images, or photos.

Note:
  • When the Pixel Depth setting in the Image Type dialog box is set to Black & White, the Drawing/Halftone setting takes effect and the Photo setting becomes irrelevant. For other Pixel Depth settings, the Photo setting takes effect and the Drawing/Halftone setting becomes irrelevant.
  • To print your scanned document when Resolution is set to Drawing/Halftone, select the same resolution setting from the list as you select in the printer driver. To print your scanned document when Resolution is set to Photo, select a resolution between 150 and 300 dpi. If you select a higher resolution, the Photo setting requires longer to print, but does not improve the output quality.
  • The Resolution setting is closely related to the Image Size and Scale settings. If you change them arbitrarily, the resulting image may not be what you expected.
  • The range of resolution values depends on your scanner.

Unsharp Mask

If the colors in your scanned image don’t match those in your original document, try experimenting with the Unsharp Mask setting. Click the Destination button in the EPSON TWAIN Pro main window to display the Destination window, and then or deselect Unsharp Mask.
