Scan Materials for Viewing on the Computer Screen

Scan images for viewing in the Home Mode
Scan documents for viewing in the Office Mode
Scan materials for viewing in the Professional Mode

When you want to view scanned images on the computer screen, set the output resolution to 96 dpi. The monitor can reproduce images only up to 96 dpi, and scanning at a higher resolution is counterproductive. Low resolution image files are smaller and easier to handle. Use a low resolution to scan images for use on the Internet or in e-mail.

Note:
Low resolution is not recommended if scanned images sent through e-mail are intended for printing. In this case, the output resolution is too low for printing. See Scan Materials for Printing.
