How To

Scanning Images for Viewing on a Computer Screen

Full Auto Mode
Home Mode
Professional Mode

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

Note:

Low resolution is not recommended if scanning images sent through e-mail are intended for printing. In this case, the output resolution is too low for printing. See Scanning Images for Printing.
