Detailed Setting Instructions
Selecting the Scan Resolution
You can select a specific Resolution setting for your images. Keep in mind that higher resolution settings increase the file size and scanning time, so do not select a higher resolution than you need. See the following table to reference the appropriate resolution setting to use so that you do not have to take more time than necessary.
